This is just me screwing around. I am a little unnerved by Trump these days and I need to vent a little bit in verse. That’s all that’s going on. I want to tell a story in verse and this would have a really danceable beat like The Talking Heads’ Life During Wartime.
Life During Trump
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
the end on its way I’m afraid
people are oblivious to Trump’s shit
but when he hits the button
we’ll be left to scream in the dark
all we want is the chance to get laid
but when the lights go out our chances will be dim
there’s going to be fear all around
in the dark we won’t be able to see the blood
the loving will be over
we’ll just have doom to deal with
life during Trump
is always on the edge of getting us cut
life during Trump
is no time to strut
life during Trump
either you know what’s up and rut
or don’t
things don’t seem like they could get worse
but they keep getting worse and worse
the quiet before the storm is here
we’ve been warned that all we hold dear
will disappear in a giant blast of haze
when will do something about all of this
the ding of the alarm bells need to be blessed
we’re just going to have to pray
that things don’t stay this way
and fade away into their destiny
life during Trump
is always on the edge of getting us cut
life during Trump
is no time to strut
life during Trump
either you know what’s up and rut
or don’t
[bridge]
we’re all in a crisis
it’s obvious to see
just flee, flee, flee
into the darkness of history
into the darkness of history
when you think couldn’t get worse
here we are
Trump is making a grab for the suitcase
and his aides are rushing him
hoping to prevent the end of time
all I have his my rhyme
hoping it will surive
life during Trump
is always on the edge of getting us cut
life during Trump
is no time to strut
life during Trump
either you know what’s up and rut
or don’t
