In America (song)

"In America" is a song written and recorded by American music group Charlie Daniels Band.

The song was a reaction to the varying difficult issues facing America in the late 1970s – the fallout from the Watergate scandal, the simultaneous double-digit inflation, unemployment, and prime interest rates (leading to the misery index), and the 1979–1981 Iran Hostage Crisis.

The song experienced a revival following the September 11 attacks, when it was floated around the Internet as "F*** Bin Laden."

He says, "I've gone to ball games at different places, but I've always felt the Pittsburgh Steelers fans, especially in the old stadium - I mean, they're steel workers and they're good old guys with blisters, or calluses on their hands.

Go lay your hand on a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and you're gonna find out what American anger is, because it's the kind of people they are.
