Keep Your Rifle by Your Side

Left Right librights.. YOU'VE MISSED THE POINT Keep your rifle by your side So we'll take a stand cause we must protect our land But if they don't have faith their eyes are blind Oh Lord, the sinful life just ain't enough They'll have bombs and they'll have tanks Keep your rifle by your side

A Wojak-style split-screen meme contrasts a crying, confused “librights” figure on the left with a bearded rifleman on the right. After declaring that the other side has missed the point, the video turns into an earnest, increasingly dramatic sing-along to The Hope County Choir’s “Keep Your Rifle by Your Side,” creating an absurd contrast between political meme imagery and militant religious country-gospel lyrics. It works as a reaction to people misunderstanding an argument, especially when the response is exaggerated conviction or armed ideological posturing.

They'll look everywhere we go But when the sinners fight us, we won't hide They'll come louder, they'll come fast But we should first and we can last Keep your rifle by your side Sing in, oh Lord This earth was made for us Sing in, oh Lord We sing for life just ain't enough So we'll take a stand Cause we must protect our land Keep your rifle by your side Come day, they'll come night They'll have our children in their sights But if they don't have faith, their eyes aren't blind They can scream and they can shout But they can never strong the sound Keep your rifle, it was made for us again Oh, the voice we know, we have no other choice
