    Although the title refers to “rich men” and makes a great rhyme, it is also a screed against control by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, who live in Washington and its wealthy Northern Virginia and Maryland suburbs. “They all just want to have total control.” It is a powerful hymn to the forgotten, put-upon working man, sung with a full-throated, gravelly voice and accompanied solely by Anthony’s acoustic, resonator guitar.

    Another new anthem

    'Try that in a small town '

    Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
    Carjack an old lady at a red light
    Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
    Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
    Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
    Stomp on the flag and light it up
    Yeah, ya think you're tough
    Well, try that in a small town
    See how far ya make it down the road
    Around here, we take care of our own
    You cross that line, it won't take long
    For you to find out, I recommend you don't
    Try that in a small town
    Got a gun that my granddad gave me
    They say one day they're gonna round up
    Well, that might fly in the city, good luck
    Try that in a small town
    See how far ya make it down the road
    Around here, we take care of our own
    You cross that line, it won't take long
    For you to find out, I recommend you don't
    Try that in a small town
    Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
    If you're looking for a fight
    Try that in a small town
    Try that in a small town
    Try that in a small town
    See how far ya make it down the road
    Around here, we take care of our own
    You cross that line, it won't take long
    For you to find out, I recommend you don't
    Try that in a small town
    Try that in a small town
    Ooh-ooh
    Try that in a small town
