Country music singer Zach Bryan is looking to cash in on anti-Trump sentiment with a new song featuring lyrics trashing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the general state of the country, drawing criticism from social media users.
In an Instagram preview of the tune titled “Bad News” that’s captioned “the fading of the red, white, and blue,” Bryan sings “My friends are all degenerates but they’re all I got,” and brands the police as “cocky motherf**kers” before trashing the dedicated law enforcement professionals tasked with enforcing the nation’s immigration laws, accusing them of kicking down doors and terrorizing children.
“My friends are all degenerates, but they’re all I got, the generational story of dropping the plot. I heard the cops came, Cocky motherf**kers, ain’t they?” and that, “ICE is gonna come bust down your door, try to build a house no one builds no more, but I got a telephone, Kids are all scared and all alone.”

“The bar stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling, the middle fingers rising, and it won’t stop showing,” the song continues. “Got some bad news. The fading of the red, white, and blue.”
The lyrics, which would be more typical for a pompous leftist phony like Bruce Springsteen, whom he refers to, may as well be Democrat talking points coming at a time when ICE agents are being demonized as Nazis, fascists, and the Gestapo, terms that are inciting increasingly violent attacks, egged on by blue state governors.
Among those criticizing Bryan’s Bud Light moment was fellow country star John Rich, who said, “Nashville is full of guys like this,” in a post to X.

Other users also brought up Bud Light, which went “woke” with a disastrous marketing campaign featuring creepy transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, learning a costly lesson about insulting loyal customers to pander to a minuscule albeit influential demographic.
No talent Zach Bryan “Bud Lighted” whatever career he had, lol. pic.twitter.com/i1MuSSNBED

Zach Bryan just put out a very un American anti-ice song effectively ending his country music career.
Apparently, him and his management team were too stupid to realize that they just Bud Lighted themselves.

Zach Bryan just gave his career the Bud Light treatment.

Bryan defended Mulvaney and Bud Light at the time of the controversy, writing in a since-deleted X post: “I just think insulting transgender people is completely wrong because we live in a country where we can all just be who we want to be It’s a great day to be alive I thought.”
One X user wrote: “Dear Zach Bryan, F*** you. Sincerely, American Patriots. ICE agents risk their lives daily. Violent leftists throw bricks at them, attack them, spit at them, even shoot at them. And this is the song he released. Career over.”
“I was today’s years old when Zach Bryan sh*t the bed. Bro legit just performed a ‘Jane Fonda’ on his career,” wrote another.
While not as overtly political as “The Boss,” Bryan is a big fan of the Trump-hating Democrat rock icon, gushing that Springsteen is “one of the greatest men to ever exist” at a New Jersey show this summer.
