This whole Rob Porter thing has made me furious. It’s so obvious that the Trump Administration is lying. So, out of frustration, I’ve decided to write lyrics to an angry Temple of The Dog type song. I’m not saying I’m the greatest lyricist, but I do find writing lyrics relaxing.
A Battle of Pride
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
wake up to another day of lies
the president grabs’em by the pussy
’cause he’s a celebrity and can get away with it
I know I wasn’t raised that way
my views alienate my peers
but all I can say is I’ve found my hill
and I’m taking my stand
I’ve found my hill
found my hill to stand on
found my hill to die on
found my hill to die on
this is my battle of pride
this is my battle of pride
this is my battle of pride
my peers think I’m a fool
they tell me to enjoy the economy
tax cuts keep things humming
why don’t I just shut up and get laid
how can I do that I exclaim
when wife beaters are accepted in the White House
am I the only person willing to take a stand
has everyone else lost their mind
I know I’ve not lost mine
I’ve found my hill
found my hill to stand on
found my hill to die on
found my hill to die on
this is my battle of pride
this is my battle of pride
this is my battle of pride
[bridge]
keep your eye on the prize
keep it as focused as you can
we’re going to win this one
if we all stand as one
I’ve found my hill
going to die on in
this is my battle of pride
this is my battle of pride
this is my battle of pride
