about this song
“We as Americans” was written while Em was on a two year long probation for carrying a concealed weapon after he pistol whipped John Guerra, whom he allegedly saw kissing his then-wife Kim. Among the conditions, Em was to refrain from possessing a firearm, an issue he elaborates on throughout the song, reflecting on how he now was supposed to defend himself. Just as “Mosh”, an earlier track from the same album, the song contains criticism of President Bush.
