This song here is absolutely 💯 % true about the way our Government acts today towards it's US Citizens 🇺🇸 and I absolutely respect The " Chief " Laying it all out in the open.
We r the only ones who have not only the power to change the things our "leaders" do that are against our rights, not just as Americans but as human beings with all that we truly need to prevail right inside of us...no matter the situation or reasoning we use to justify our crimes against others there is something inside us all that wants to make the right choice some call it your conscience, some call it a "gut feeling", but no matter what you call it there is no denying the fact that its is a part of you...I believe its your spirit, who u truly are and were meant to be long before your parents conceived you, who u are in Our Creators eyes and just maybe its there not to force u to do good but to steer u in the right direction if you will just learn to trust it in all that you do...our world is in chaos, make no mistake it is our duty to stand up when oppressed not just for you or your people as a country but as a warrior and savior to ALL LIFE although the fight isn't about killing or winning,its actually quite the opposite, for us all to lay down our weapons and serve a higher purpose and to do that against what everyone would have you do or tell you is right....Our Greatest Battle as humans is no doubt... against our own fears and sins WITHIN....Trust Your Spirit in all that you do and worthiness shall be granted
Well I'm glad someone is actually trying to follow and fill the old country music legend's boots, and tells the truth about what is going on in the world in your songs.
@@SDRFAB98 WOW. Jst wow. The gospel "word of God" speaks of the Pharisees and Saddicees, and Rome.... replace them with Democrats, Republicans, and Socialism and it's God's word in new times. Preaching against tyrannical government was what got "Jesus" crucified. The only difference is that if an execution happens today, it's not by crucifixion.
@@tanyakwiatkowski5638 lol it doesn't matter whether he's a Democrat or a republican. he's just saying that the message in the song is true. we're all the same ppl, he's not bringing up which political party he supports. he's simply just representing the common ppl. no need to get controversial, which might not be your intention, I'm just saying if it is
This song remains as relevant as if it were written this very morning. It's my first time hearing it, and it strikes me as one of those timeless songs to speak across the borders of both peoples and ages.
I see who's been in Church for a while.. I said the same thing to my friends the other day, glad he played it on the ACM, now the single can drop on the radio
Is it? "One of the most talked about performances during Sunday's (April 7th) ACM Awards was the collaboration between Eric Church and Ashley McBryde on “The Snake,” a cut on Eric's Desperate Man album. Eric tells us the song is his commentary on politics in general. “‘The Snake’ is really a song that was written about this political discourse, battle. Full disclosure, by nature I’m just not a very political person. I find it somewhat silly. I feel like in order to be a career politician, you have to keep your base riled up and the best way to rile up your base is to attack the other side, and the other side does the same thing. So, this song really came from whichever side you want to paint is a copperhead, and whichever other side you want to paint is a rattlesnake.”
John Carver, are you scared of snakes?? These kind, anyway, huh?! Just joshing with ya! That country boy Upchurch, ain't scar't of none of 'em cause he's been bit by 'em all!! 〰〰〰⚉⚕☠☮🇯🇪🇵🇰🇺🇸
Believe this: The venom from either snake will kill a sheep, but when mixed in the sheep's blood, the two venoms only dissolve the sheep's skin, revealing the wolf that's been hidden all along. And that wolf is HUNGRY. Fear becomes anger, And anger becomes action. Don't be afraid to get bit twice. Be ready.
@@bigbill2557 I listen to Stapleton, but I don't listen to Whiskey Myers, nor do I think that most new "country" is country. I listen to Dead South, Heavy Horses, Willie and Waylon, the highwaymen (yea, I know that was redundant), Leduox, Black, Brooks (not as much anymore) Church, Bros Osborne (not a big fan), Elisa Doyle, Blues Seraceno, Justin Cross, this list can go on...
Amazing song that you can interpret in so many ways. The worst of all political parties, religions, narcissists...all elegantly encapsulated in a four-minute song.
Thanks for the enormous care and hold up as a special true fan of mine it has been your prayers and support that has kept me at my very best may God bless you❤️(469) 301-6683 that's my private contact I hope that's safe with you I really hope I can trust you not giving that out to anyone
my ancestors are Scottish and I swear I feel that outlaw freedom fighting rebellion in my bones..my very dna is encoded with a deep seated resentment for any form of denied freedom or tyranny..
I’m sure he believes in the shepherd being Jesus Christ but that’s not what he’s referring to in this instance. The song is political. Talks about how both political sides are one and the same. “We stay hungry they get fed and don’t pass the plate around lie by lie cheat by cheat venom in Smilin teeth they just run them forked tongues and the whole worlds burning down” think about it. Don’t make it what it’s not
@@briebones5475 At least he didn't say it was pro-Republican. I've seen people comment that. Um....Way to miss the point. It's not "pro" anyone. The snakes are bad in this song. On both sides. If we want to get biblical, Satan took the form of the snake in the Garden of Eden and tempted Eve. (Which is mentioned in the song.)
I totally see your point. It’s just in my opinion (I know you don’t have to agree and that’s ok) this is a conversation between the snakes so everything said in the verses won’t necessarily be great to the ears. It’s what I imagine satans demons say to one another. The chorus is not a part of the conversation it’s an explanation of who the snakes are. But the shepherd part you referred to in your original comment could very well be the demons saying Jesus is not paying attention. However, I take it as saying they’re pulling the wool over our eyes at all times to keep us fighting (both political parties). But this is the beauty of songs. They can be interpreted to each listener however they choose, but I didn’t want you to think Eric Church would be singing an anti Christian song that’s not the case at all.
My neighbor has a malfunctioning security light, who's infrared beam is directed straight down my driveway. This song goes out to her and her idiot boyfriend, who can't appropriately direct a security sysytem w/o a professional breathing down their necks... Vipers.
@@alcoholism9097 well I guess the cops could be called out, but I'd really rather send the " snake charmer" out there then they both could get dealt with , the proper way with a good ole shovel chopping the living daylights out of them , ya know, get it over with!!
There is no fine line between the left and the right. Too many crooked politicians. The American people have been separated and their reason is their political party and there political party’s true values have been lost so what do these parties even stand for anymore? Great song man. I love your music!
Yes there is a clear line, quite a few actually, left = 0 guns in our hands 0 free speech and murdering babies at 9 months. Pretty sure those are very very distinct lines
Eric Church - The Snake Rattlesnake said to the copperhead "You give us vipers a real bad name" You prey on the weakest, you fight for no reason No wonder we get blamed Copperhead laughed, said "Kiss my ass! "You can bark but there ain't much bite" "You rattle that tail, but it's fear I smell "I think you're shaking out of fright" Rattlesnake, Copperhead Either one of them'll kill you dead We stay hungry, they get fed And don't pass the plate around Lie by lie, cheat by cheat Venom in smiling teeth They just run those forked tongues And the whole world's burning down Copperhead said to the rattlesnake "If you ever wanna make it rain "We could team up, be twice as tough "Fear will be our game" Rattlesnake said to the copperhead "Y'know we were the original sin "And I bet you my rattle against your copper That the bitch takes the apple again Rattlesnake, Copperhead Either one of them'll kill you dead We stay hungry, they get fed And don't pass the plate around Lie by lie, cheat by cheat Venom in smiling teeth They just run those forked tongues And the whole world's burning down Rattlesnake said to the copperhead "Ain't no way they'd win "'Cause the mice are sheep and the shepherd's asleep" And the copperhead said "Amen"
Church has always had a true country soul which is becoming increasingly uncommon in country music to the point where it's become almost unheard of on radio ... It's not so much that church sounds like anyone in this song as much as this song is legitimate folk music ... It's like hearing a good ole boy repeat one his granddaddy's front pourch stories
Wow... even though I wish most Church songs didn't involve drinking, this song knocks my socks off. No alcohol needed here; just that acoustic guitar bass line and it's all only truth. WOW.
How are you doing today suzy? Its really nice having you on here .. I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many levels. Trust, communication, loving, honoring, understanding, patience and respecting your partner. So crucial to provide balance. This is what creates such great chemistry between two people that are committed to one another.
Brandon Ringer who gives a shit? its his opinion, he's entitled to it. Do people really need multiple automatic rifles? fuk no they dont. You should be able to have one type of firearm in a category, pistol, shotgun, AR, hunting, etc.. The dipshits bitching about owning as many "Home Defense" rifles as they want are the types of people you have to watch out for. There is zero need to own multiple self defense weapons other than to try and impress your friends into thinking your just as badass as the real Soldiers. FYI those operator beards are not fooling anyone...
Tim Alcorn While I half agree for hunting you may need more then one shotgun or rifle for different game or hunting situations. Like you could use a .22 for small game but you’ll need a bigger caliber for larger game. You can’t use a .410 for most bigger birds but it’s useful for small game while the 12 gauge is handy for bigger birds and deer and may be too much for smaller game. Not trying to start an argument just showing another point of view
an American guy told me about this song, so I listened to it. I was attracted to him from the first time we chatted, he was different. Maybe he knows my feelings for him, but what can I do? We are far apart. Wish I can meet him someday.
I saw your semi truck parked next to mine one time in a truck stop. I don't think too much of Nashville or new country,but me and my old truck just started to like you for this song alone.
🙄😾 🎶 I'm not the One who's so far away, when I feel the snakebite enter my veeeeeins...Never did I wanna be here again, and I don't remember why I came...🎶 - Godsmack.
Bring it brother or hide it behind your web as I grant you that it will not end as bad for me as it dose for you as God, knows how to deal out pain as well as mercy!
PREACH IT THIS SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN SITTING IN MY CHEVY....HOPING THAT CHARLIE DANIELS GOT TO HEAR CHURCH....SING THIS1...THAT'S WHAT I HEARD ON THE 1ST LINE....R.I.P.✌..CHARLIE...CHURCH WILL KEEP U ROLLING OVER WITH HIS....POETS...GOD BLESS🇺🇸
Like we say 2 wings of the same bird, this is the same thing. One is just a little fancier then the other. One puts on a better show then the other one. But, they both bite, they both hide, they both are for their own kind. One even openly shared a poem plainly telling you what was coming. But you have to chose, do so wisely and stay on guard because they both bite in the end
Jeffrey Hortman I so wish I was with you in Dallas that’s home (Lake Fork), however I have lived in the Smokey Mountains for 30 years, I just know that will be one of those great memories that will sustain you in your old years. Have a great time.

You are one hell of a songwriter singer. I have loved every song on every one of your CDs and I have every one of your CDs. You make Blake Shelton look like a Hollywood country singer now LOL JK JK don't want to piss off Blake another one of my favorite singers. But you are absolutely the best. And I really love this song. You are amazing. What I would do to be able to see you in concert. Keep them coming I still have CZcams
Please keep up this real music that actually has a meaning,!!! Most music doesn't have a meaning now days! I'm only 22 but I've grown up with old soles and I think we need more artist like you!!
@Eric Church🔹 I've listened to every song so far. I work hard everyday, but have time to watch a couple videos and yours is the first. Demolition ranch comes 2nd. It would be cool if you and Matt collaborated a video together. He's a cool guy.
Thanks for your endless and support you have constantly shown me. I’m forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love and support towards me.. Where are you watching from?

I was thinking of something more like a movie set in Louisiana with like a bayou style to it
I love this,I have to think that Eric is talking about our political parties.It sure describes both of them.
We are waking up.
Some slower then others, but we will collectivize.
We will be free.
Do you listen to a lot of his music?
A lotta talk and no action is what I see
Are we still so hopeful of this? Just wondering 🤣
Only a few realize the truth. There’s really nothing we can do. America’s been on this path for too long.

Same bro
Eric Church - The Snake
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
"You give us vipers a real bad name"
You prey on the weakest, you fight for no reason
No wonder we get blamed
Copperhead laughed, said "Kiss my ass!
"You can bark but there ain't much bite"
"You rattle that tail, but it's fear I smell
"I think you're shaking out of fright"
Rattlesnake, Copperhead
Either one of them'll kill you dead
We stay hungry, they get fed
And don't pass the plate around
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
Venom in smiling teeth
They just run those forked tongues
And the whole world's burning down
Copperhead said to the rattlesnake
"If you ever wanna make it rain
"We could team up, be twice as tough
"Fear will be our game"
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
"Y'know we were the original sin
"And I bet you my rattle against your copper
That the bitch takes the apple again
Rattlesnake, Copperhead
Either one of them'll kill you dead
We stay hungry, they get fed
And don't pass the plate around
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat
Venom in smiling teeth
They just run those forked tongues
And the whole world's burning down
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead
"Ain't no way they'd win
"'Cause the mice are sheep and the shepherd's asleep"
And the copperhead said "Amen"
Listen to the guitar... speaking a language of it's own! Then the words come in and background vocals...just haunting!
Speaks volumes about NOW. I shared this all over the place! So well done, Eric Church.

Wow... even though I wish most Church songs didn't involve drinking, this song knocks my socks off. No alcohol needed here; just that acoustic guitar bass line and it's all only truth. WOW.
But a little alcohol for me makes all the better 😊
We need more songs like this , I wonder just how popular this song will be with the pop county fans & of it gets much, or if any radio play .
I hope the folks get the underlying message to this song but from the looks of the comments it seems there are many with their eyes and ears closed.
Telling it like it is in a song ... genius..🔥🔥🔥
He told us in 2019 exactly what was gonna happen. All in a song, follow the words🤯. Church is 👑 of country music and he's 1 of 1

The dipshits bitching about owning as many "Home Defense" rifles as they want are the types of people you have to watch out for. There is zero need to own multiple self defense weapons other than to try and impress your friends into thinking your just as badass as the real Soldiers. FYI those operator beards are not fooling anyone...
Tim Alcorn While I half agree for hunting you may need more then one shotgun or rifle for different game or hunting situations. Like you could use a .22 for small game but you’ll need a bigger caliber for larger game. You can’t use a .410 for most bigger birds but it’s useful for small game while the 12 gauge is handy for bigger birds and deer and may be too much for smaller game. Not trying to start an argument just showing another point of view
See the snake hates me as the snake hates an unapproved truth!
I searched “songs to oppose tyranny to” and they definitely delivered
This nation was built upon opposing tyranny. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Let me handle this situation as I seem to better at it than you before God, freeman!
an American guy told me about this song, so I listened to it. I was attracted to him from the first time we chatted, he was different. Maybe he knows my feelings for him, but what can I do? We are far apart. Wish I can meet him someday.
Long distance relationships are difficult, but not impossible. Since you're in to him, give it a chance.
@@PiracyandDumbbells ahh I don't know. We rarely talk anymore :(
Ayyyye! Patera from Appalachia Homestead Sent me! Great song
Same here. Excellent new song to start the day. Would have been a shame to have missed out on this gem!
One of the master pieces by Eric Church
& Travis Meadows
I saw your semi truck parked next to mine one time in a truck stop. I don't think too much of Nashville or new country,but me and my old truck just started to like you for this song alone.
One of my favorites off this album!!
🙄😾 🎶 I'm not the One who's so far away, when I feel the snakebite enter my veeeeeins...Never did I wanna be here again, and I don't remember why I came...🎶 - Godsmack.
This is one of those songs when youre driving and its playing and you just feel like a straight bada$$
Hell yeah I love driving and listening to a song from a guy who believes I shouldn't own my guns. Very badass indeed
Real_one9205 oh calm down
I feel bada$$ either way listening to this
One Great Song ERIC
Eric Church reminds me of the old country I grew up with. Love his stuff.
He gets it.
*You gave me goosebumps & that beat!!!*
Bring it brother or hide it behind your web as I grant you that it will not end as bad for me as it dose for you as God, knows how to deal out pain as well as mercy!
Copper=Democrats
Rattle=Republicans
The Mongoose= We The People
They teamed up finish it off, Everyone been warning ppl,Your in for a whole new ball game
Yes but somebody milking both of them
China? Lmao
I think you got them backwards.
Honey Badger=Still doesn't give a shit
This is the anthem of the Swamp!
The symbolism in this song is so true it's scary!!! I'm happy to see Eric church take a shot at THE MAN and hia evil bag of tricks.

Played this song so much when his album came out and still love it
We The People🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome tune so true
Hope you won't stop liking my aspirations?
Every morning I wake these days and see the news about our government I can't seem to get this song out of my head
I just found this and its addictive to listen to. Eric church has been the best country artist in a long while I love it
Me too
Like we say 2 wings of the same bird, this is the same thing. One is just a little fancier then the other. One puts on a better show then the other one. But, they both bite, they both hide, they both are for their own kind. One even openly shared a poem plainly telling you what was coming. But you have to chose, do so wisely and stay on guard because they both bite in the end
Man I love this back wood swamp type feel to it and also the message telling us to OPEN OUR DAMN EYES haha
Time to go back to work Mr Church! I will buy the first tickets!
Eric Church Always awesome 😘😘
Absolutely 100%
Hell ya...incredible lyrics! Hidden meaning in the lyrics really got me lol
Very Original song I couldn't compare it to any other song that carries this much melody anyway
Can't wait! Best show I've ever been to. Gonna double down in Dallas!
Jeffrey Hortman I so wish I was with you in Dallas that’s home (Lake Fork), however I have lived in the Smokey Mountains for 30 years, I just know that will be one of those great memories that will sustain you in your old years. Have a great time.
@@normam.atchley9856 I'm about 10 minutes from lake fork. This was the time of my life. Have a Blessed evening!
Thanks for the enormous care and hold up as a special true fan of mine it has been your prayers and support that has kept me at my very best may God bless you❤️(469) 301-6683 that's my private contact I hope that's safe with you I really hope I can trust you not giving that out to anyone
You are one hell of a songwriter singer. I have loved every song on every one of your CDs and I have every one of your CDs. You make Blake Shelton look like a Hollywood country singer now LOL JK JK don't want to piss off Blake another one of my favorite singers. But you are absolutely the best. And I really love this song. You are amazing. What I would do to be able to see you in concert. Keep them coming I still have CZcams
Please keep up this real music that actually has a meaning,!!! Most music doesn't have a meaning now days! I'm only 22 but I've grown up with old soles and I think we need more artist like you!!
Lord.. Sheeeejuzzz!!! There is, no one, hotter in Country Music.. No one. I hear him sing, my pants fall right down. 🤤💕🎧🎸🎙🔬🎤🎼🎵🤤💥🔥🔥👅🔥
My new favorite song by Eric!
@Eric Church🔹 I've listened to every song so far. I work hard everyday, but have time to watch a couple videos and yours is the first. Demolition ranch comes 2nd. It would be cool if you and Matt collaborated a video together. He's a cool guy.
Whoo. Love Eric Church and the hidden truths in his words!! 💜
Listening to this while the 2020 election results come in. Nothing more fitting.
U called that right
My thoughts exactly!
Same
Yeah and I'll be listening to this on augnaltional day too
@@lesliemastin8600 Yep, looks like we've been "hosed"
Wowza to that intro twang
Thanks for your endless and support you have constantly shown me. I’m forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love and support towards me.. Where are you watching from?
Probably my favorite on the album but I love all of em!
This speaks volumes on 4/20/2020..
