Track 21 – “Orders of the Day” from Macht Amerika: Das Verte Reich Available 16th May 2025
In the voice of a proud yet hollow officer, “Orders of the Day” walks us through the rituals of obedience — the badge, the salute, the prayer — all performed without question. At first listen, it sounds like a national anthem for the boots-on-the-ground. But pay attention. This isn’t patriotism. It’s pathology.
This track is a confession dressed in camo: from traffic stops to border raids, from courtroom hush to church small talk, every line reveals the cost of compliance. The singer doesn’t think, doesn’t ask, doesn’t see — because he was taught not to. And rewarded for it.
Whether it's ICE, LEOs, military, or private contractors, this song asks: when does service stop being noble, and start being blind?
It’s a warning to the “good guys” who never stopped to ask who gave the orders — or what those orders cost.
I put on the badge I took the oath
Salute the flag and drink my toast
They told me who to watch who to fear
Who to cuff who to make disappear
They gave me rules and red tape boots
A Bible a gun and a checklist of truths
Told me don’t you think just stand your ground
And when it gets messy don’t look around
I don’t ask questions I just pray
Do what I’m told the American way
From the border wall to your hometown street
We keep y’all safe with a lil’ deceit
Got my orders of the day
From a man in a suit far away
Don’t matter what it says or why
I follow orders not the sky
I seen a mama cry for her son
Wrong place wrong time wrong kinda run
But I got a job and I got a code
And if he twitched well that’s how it goes
I stopped a girl just for lookin’ strange
Her license clean but her hair deranged
HQ said watch ‘em all close
That’s all I need to diagnose
Ain’t my place to say what’s right
Just load the bus and kill the light
Ain’t my place to check the cost
Just bag the tag and count the lost
I don’t ask questions I just pray
Kneel when I shoot stand when I play
From the courtroom steps to the church café
We keep the peace our kinda way
Got my orders of the day
And a flag to hide what I obey
If you don’t like it well bless your heart
Just don’t stand too close when the cleansing starts
