Fuck the AMA

(Jubal Lee Young)

First you’re gonna ask, what’s the AMA?

Another “Music City” circle jerk where you pay to play

Americana music gestapo

What’s Americana? Only they know

An arrogant gatekeeping pyramid scheme

Scamming rubes as they peddle that Americana dream

Fuck the AMA

Point me to one thing the AMA ever did

To help anyone but that poor Robert Plant kid

With their greedy hand out every time you turn around

Acting like they’re different than the music row clowns

You can pay ‘em all you want, but here’s the rub

They got their wagons circled and you’re not in the club

Fuck the AMA

I can’t abide another beardo in a fuckin hat

Singing like he’s actively shittin’ his pants

Sings that same damn song as everybody else

Mediocre slop about his hometown hell

But this year the AMA will crown him king

Because the AMA only wants one thing (CHA-CHING!)

Fuck the AMA
