If you want to understand the difference between the traditional culture of the American right and the culture of grievance that rules today of the left consider this song:
♫ I went to my Grandfather and told him I was mad My parents make up stupid rules and they don't understand The man from the old country said "Son don't you be a chump" If things aren't just the way you want you've gotta suck it up!" ♫ ♫ Suck it up! Suck it up! You do not realize your own good luck ♫ ♫ So when things aren't how you want em, and you think your young life sucks Don't whine and complain or act insane you just go suck it up Don't whine and complain or act insane you just go suck it up ♫ ♫ I was talking to my Father, said work is kinda sad My boss constantly leans on me and the money it is bad ♫ ♫ My father he just grinned at me said: "Welcome to the club. until the day you're filthy rich you gotta suck it up" ♫ ♫ Suck it up, suck it up Your work is how your family gets their grub ♫ ♫ So if when work is not the greatest and you fell like you're just fucked Don't whine and complain or act insane you just go suck it up Don't whine and complain or act insane you just go suck it up ♫ ♫I sat down with my brothers and said" I'm all depressed My wife won't lay a hand on me and all my kids are pests" ♫ ♫ My brothers they all grinned at me like men who heard enough. "All families have their problems so a man must suck it up." Suck it up, Suck it up You're not the only guy who is hard up" ♫ ♫ So when family becomes a burden that's when you must man up Don't whine and complain or act insane you just go suck it up Don't whine and complain or act insane you just go suck it up ♫ ♫ I said to Fr. Robert "I want some sympathy" "When bad stuff happens to me no one ever shows pity" ♫ ♫ My pastor with a kindly look said "Remember well my son When Christ was hanged upon the cross he choose to suck it up" ♫ ♫ Suck it up, Suck it up The world it is designed to trip you up ♫ ♫ ”When suffering when you should not you're are like the holy one Don't whine and complain do it Christ's way you just go suck it up Don't whine and complain or act insane you just.. go.. suck... it... up ♫ ♫ Suck it up. ♫
I suspect this song would be very popular with my parents and grandparents generation but the very concept of it would cause the college students of today to reach for emotional support stuffed animals.
If you need to know how the tune is paced and have a strong stomach here is how it is supposed to sound.
WARNING!: Taylor Swift I’m not.
