‘Dotard’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

This would be a slow pop-rock song like Pearl Jam’s “Garden.” That, at least, is my vision for it.

Dotard
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

the radiation drifts over the scorched earth
the dirt glows late a night
these visions give me a fright
as I awake in the middle of the night
with fate in my face teasing me
as it please

Trumplandia is ruled by a dotard
who doesn’t know where he is
the dotard will bring our end
is it just another sin

the dotard is a risk to us all
the dotard will destroy the world
if we don’t contain him now
dotard, dotard, dotard

the red alert is being sounded
the tweets are being written
the end is about to arrive
the animals churp in fear

the dotard is a risk to us all
the dotard will destroy the world
if we don’t contain him now
dotard, dotard, dotard

[bridge]
what can we do that’s my question
how can we fix this problem soon
when we all feel so doomed

but we’re all going to have to surive
death coming down from the skies
if we don’t vote the tyrant out
there can be no doubt

Ilana Glazer As A Potential Bond Girl & Her Inspiring A Character In My Novel

by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

I have a huge celebrity crush on Ilana Glazer of Broad City and I think she has the makings of a A1 Hollywood superstar because of her personality, if nothing else. But, to date, she’s not really been in anything of note outside of Broad City.

As a big fan of the James Bond franchise, I think it would be amusing, interesting and intriguing if she were cast as a Bond Girl. She’s not your typical Bond Girl by any stretch of the imagination, but given her broad appeal, I think a lot of people would enjoy seeing her matching wits with Bond. The Bond serious has become so epic and serious minded that Glazer would be perfect as comic relief. She would put her own unique spin on it all and I think it would be a real crow pleaser to cast her in such a role.

Meanwhile, I’m working on a novel and the female lead is — in part — based on Glazer. Glazer reminds me a great deal of someone in my own life and I am drawing upon Glazer’s public persona to build out the character. The character is a little bit younger than Glazer, so I couldn’t see her playing the character in any daydream possible movie adaptation, but still.

I am currently working on the outline of the novel and it’s a lot of fun. I don’t know if my writing is good enough to make the actual end product something anyone will want to read, but I enjoy the process of doing it, regardless.

‘You Own This’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

These lyrics are a rebuttal to all the people who continue to support Donald Trump. In my imagination, the music that went with this would be something you might hear in a Tove Lo song.

You Own This
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

as the earth slowly burns
and its turns aren’t a fast
people on the street can’t eat
they no longer stop to greet
the past and the present do meet
when the Nazis want to compete
all I can say is

you own this
when the end comes
you own this
when the end comes
you own this

I know where you stand
you think your man’s got a plan
we’re going to build a wall
but when it doesn’t come
will you have the gaul to admit
that your views are full of shit

you own this
when the end comes
you own this
when the end comes
you own this

[bridge]
wish there was some other way
something that would stop the flames
but we’re screwed it seems
while the masses scream

what are we going to do
will the moon refuse to shine
will the sun refuse to rise
whatever may happen I’m afraid
you own this
you own this
you own this
