MAGA Melts Down as Country Star Bashes ICE in New Song

A country music star wrote a song inspired by ICE, but MAGAworld isn’t loving it.

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Zach Bryan teased an upcoming song on his Instagram account on Friday, immediately stoking outrage among conservatives who took issue with his unsubtle dig at Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“Didn’t wake up, dead or in jail/Some out of town boys been given a cell/I’ve got some bad news, woke up missing you/My friends are all degenerates but they’re all I got,” the snippet begins.

“The generational story of dropping the plot/I heard the cops came, cocky motherf-----s ain’t they?/And ICE is gonna come bust down your door/Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone/Kids are all scared and all alone,” Bryan croons.

The clip ends with a callback to the musician’s Instagram caption: “The boss stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling/The middle fingers rising and it won’t stop showing/Got some bad news/The fading of the red, white and blue.”

I don't normally listen to country music (except for Dolly) but Zach Bryan might just have a new fan here...
