This would be a really fast folk-rock-pop song where everything but the chorus was rapped. At least, that’s my vision for it. It would be a little bit like the Run DMC / Aerosmith cross over hit version of “Walk This Way.”
Summer of Rage
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
summer of rage is here
‘gunna bring the heat to the pigs
summer of rage is here
cling tight to what you hold dear
summer of rage
[rapped]
you think you got it figured out
everything that makes you shout
but let me tell you without a doubt
lock your doors not your mind
the summer of rage won’t be kind
we’re going to rock for our freedom
break the back of the Man at last
no one will doubt our might
as we rage until dawn breaks
the end won’t happen I’m afraid
until we make it what we want
which is a return to sanity
summer of rage is here
‘gunna bring the heat to the pigs
summer of rage is here
cling tight to what you hold dear
[rapped]
we’re going to rage all summer
till we break back what we love
we risk being cast out of heaven
if we don’t do something fast
we’re a city on the hill
for real for real
laugh all you like is all I can say
the things we love are at risk
they’re in play because of a big baby
who shits all over himself
speaking garbage every chance he can get
screaming at the top of your lungs
is the only way to deal
summer of rage is here
‘gunna bring the heat to the pigs
summer of rage is here
cling tight to what you hold dear
[bridge]
we’re going to win
is all I can say
we may break a few eggs
along the way
but freedom’s not free
just be sure to vote in the fall
summer of rage is here
‘gunna bring the heat to the pigs
summer of rage is here
cling tight to what you hold dear
