Country singer Zach Bryan released a statement on Tuesday insisting that he did not intend his new song to cause controversy after it went viral over the past few days.

On his Instagram account, Bryan previewed a new song titled "Bad News" that appeared to lament the policies and general spirit of America under President Donald Trump. 

The song included lyrics such as, "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-----s, ain’t they?" and, "And 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 song continued, "The bar 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."

In a statement posted on an Instagram Story, Bryan wrote that "Bad News" was written months ago and that people need the "full context" of the song.

"This shows you how divisive a narrative can be when shoved down our throats through social media," Bryan said. "This song is about how much I love this country and everyone in it more than anything. When you hear the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle. Everyone using this now as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are. We need to find our way back."

He continued, "I served this country, I love this country and the song itself is about all of us coming out of this divided space. I wasn’t speaking as a politician or some greater-than-thou a--hole, just a 29-year-old man who is just as confused as everyone else. To see how much s--- it stirred up makes me not only embarrassed but kind of scared. Left wing or right wing we’re all one bird and American. To be clear I’m on neither of these radical sides. To all those disappointed in me on either side of whatever you believe in just know I’m trying my best too and we all say things that are misconstrued sometimes."

Hours later, he posted an additional statement expressing heartbreak over being scrutinized for the last few months.

"The last few months of my life I’ve been scrutinized by more people than I ever thought possible. I feel like I’ve tried my hardest in so many ways and it’s so had to see where my bearings even are anymore. Been falling off a cliff while trying to grow wings at the same time," Bryan wrote. "I am SO proud to have served in a country where we can all speak freely and converse amongst each other without getting doxxed or accosted on the internet or worse; the violence and heartbreak we’ve faced in the last few months! God speed ol sons I’m out!"

Bryan, who has a history of being at odds with law enforcement, is known for his liberal commentary.

EXCLUSIVE:  As the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts are met with continued resistance in Chicago, FBI Director Kash Patel passionately defended the bureau’s supporting role in the Windy City, telling Fox News Digital that agents are "just doing their job to safeguard the streets."

Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were on the ground touring the Chicago field office on Tuesday morning and explaining why the FBI needed to "flex resources" to help DHS.

"The environment here in Chicago needs a focused effort, not just on crushing violent crime, but also, removing the illegal aliens that are correlated to that violent crime," Patel told Fox News Digital. "And that's a result over years of failures in policies by the prior administration to allow so many illegal aliens and so much criminal activity to occur here in Chicago, in the state of Illinois."

While immigration enforcement isn’t a typical part of the FBI’s job, Patel said that "every single three-letter agency" in the Trump administration is "driving towards the same mission." He called the concerted campaign a "whole-of-government approach."

And Patel added that the mission goes well beyond immigration enforcement, also touching on narcotics distribution, government officials who are suddenly being targeted for death and agents whose lives are being endangered.

Patel lauded the efforts of the officers serving with the Chicago Police Dept., calling them "great partners" and saying "they are doing their job with us every single day."He drew a stark contrast, however, between the rank-and-file and their bosses."

But they report to the elected leadership," he said. "And I think it's our duty to call those out who prioritize illegal immigrants and crime over those that they serve in the city they're supposed to protect. So I'll call it out for as long as it takes."

President Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy National Guard troops to protect federal officials and property in Chicago has already been kicked to the courts.

But Blanche said it’s clear that the Guard is needed to help clean up the high-crime streets of Chicago.

"I mean, at this point, it's almost laughable, laughable that the state government is standing up and saying, don't let the National Guard in," Blanche said. "I mean, they have access to the same TV that I have access to. And of course, we need the National Guard."
