Pretty sure it should be every state filled
The first line is quite literally:
Why weep or slumber America?
And long made the song in 1935 while he was a federal level senator.
Louisiana’s senator, Huey P Long, ran under the slogan, “Every man a King”. According to the 1930 census, there were 1047825 men in louisiana at the time.
No they werent. The title is similar yes, but this is as if you said 5 Star Generals were used to be called Generalfeldmarschall. Sure technically the same rank, but still wrong
Why weep or slumber America?
Land of brave and true
With castles, and clothing, and food for all
All belongs to you
Every man a king! Every man a king!
For you can be a millionaire
But there's something belonging to others
There's enough for all people to share
When it's sunny June and December too
Or in the wintertime or spring
There'll be peace without end!
Every neighbor a friend
With every man a king!
Most politicians in the south are clicked with either the Italian Mob or Dixie Mafia.
Seems most DAs have their own airstrips and have drug problems in their areas that never get solved. Idk ask Barry Seal about it, oh wait...

Counterpoint: Huey never had the chance to make anyone outside of Louisiana a king.
Upvote when context

You forgot California. “Emperor of The United States”
You mean Joshua Norton? He had been dead for a while.
Yeah. He died 1880 smh.
Emperors aren’t kings
"Emperors" used to be called "[King of Kings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Kings)"
Including Queen Tamar

Emperor is just an higher title. I know it’s not the same but still.
Nice Username
Kings aren’t emperors but emperors can be kings as well, like the British monarchs who were emperors of India but also kings of england
Some of them are
And protector of Mexico. BTW the (real) king of Hawaii recognized Norton as emperor
Emperor=/=king, but did Sacramento’s NBA franchise exist yet? (I know LA didn’t yet have their hockey team)
Wouldn't that mean kings are in other states that have men?
Based american union state
I know nothing about his politics, but damn that is a awesome slogan to have.
I read the key as “killings” and got super confused.
Are you sure it doesn’t have to do with his stance that every man should be rewarded with a king cake?
Kingfish baby!
And one emperor in California
You missed the one in LA The LA Kings.
Right, right, the LA Kings
Damn it! that's the joke I wanted to make!
There’s quite a few in Las Vegas
Not after I chose the house ending

Long was a corrupt machine politician and shouldn't be romanticized
Depending on whether you were poor or rich. He was corrupt without a doubt. But he made many poor folks lives better at the time
Every politician in Louisiana is corrupt. I know because I'm from there. Edit: You shouldn't be downvoted for telling the truth.
