Probably another band on the Iraq video above (?) I'm not sure. Apparently, other bands have covered it, too. Originally a Leadbelly tune.

ON EDIT: Here's information about covers.

5. God mend thine every flaw (America the Beautiful)

Part of some verses to remember
...
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!


...
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

...

6. Clinton has been mentioning, "There's nothing wrong with America...

"...than what's right about America can't fix."

or words to that effect, my sense is that we are on the verge of discovering whether that phrase contains more poetry than it does truth

8. Hmmm... Y'know, I gotta tell you, I didn't think that was that bad

With the graphic content warning, I was expecting corpses or what have you. :shrug:
