Country star John Rich has released his new anti-woke anthem, the ironically titled “Progress,” which has reached the No. 1 spot on iTunes’ country music chart after the singer promoted the single on former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform.
“Progress,” which was written by John Rich along with Jeffrey Steele and Vicky McGehee, strikes a defiant stance against the left-wing, progressive policies that have led to the U.S.’s precipitous decline under President Joe Biden. The song’s refrain encapsulate Rich’s fed-up attitude:
Stick your progress where the sun don’t shine
Keep your big mess away from me and mine
If you leave us alone, well we’d all be just fine
Stick your progress where the sun don’t shine.
The video concludes with shots of Americans of various ethnicities and religions celebrating their patriotism and love of country.
“Progress” opens by directly mocking Biden’s failed Build Back Better agenda. The song then addresses Biden’s open-border immigration policy, his catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members, and his domestic policies that have attempted to curtail the freedom of speech.
The most defiant lyrics comes toward the end, when Rich invokes Biden’s authoritarian policies and the populist right’s revolt against it.
