Sting has a great song, “Russians” about the Cold War. These lyrics are about the current political Cold Civil War going on in the United States. Or something. Something like that. I don’t have any beats, so I am simply listening to Russians as I write these lyrics. As always, this is just me venting, relaxing by telling a story in verse.
Americans
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
fake news is spread by the president every day
we’re fighting over texts about secret societie
made in jest, made in jest
why are Americans so divided now I want roar
it all festers without a cure
I just hope that Americans will unite in the end
if we don’t then the dream is over
if we don’t then the dream is over
Americans have to figure out a cure to this fever
find some way for us to have a clue
but if we don’t then it’s the end of our state
we will no longer have God’s good grace
no boo, vote I’m told by my leaders
but the poor still can’t afford heaters
I just hope that Americans will unite in the end
if we don’t then the dream is over
if we don’t then the dream is over
[bridge]
we’re just going to have to wait
until Trump is no longer chief of state
it looks like we’re doomed but I believe
we’ll make it out alive
at least I pray
now take my hand and let us unite
take the good fight to the streets
maybe things will work out
but we’ll never know if we don’t engage
our birthright is at stake I tell you
