As you may know, at the beginning of the American Civil War, one of the slogans floating about was “wayward sisters part in peace.” Given all the drooling that Right Wing Nutjobs seem to be doing about a new civil war, these lyrics are about what’s going on right now, with the country seemingly tearing itself apart.
Sisters
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
the news today is scary as can be
proud dudes knocking heads
telling me to run away
but I’m going to stand my ground
even if one day I wake up and hear
wayward sisters
part in peace
be sure to stay safe my friend
things could get hectic
talking heads want to yell
wayward sisters
part in peace
wayward sisters
part in peace
wayward sisters
part in peace
I’m not ready to give up
no matter how much hate is lobbed
we’re going to have to stand and fight
even when the chips are down
not afraid to speak my mind
boys wanna tell me to hush
wanna bum rush the stage
but they’ll end up in a cage
be sure to stay safe my friend
things could get hectic
talking heads want to yell
wayward sisters
part in peace
wayward sisters
part in peace
wayward sisters
part in peace
[bridge]
my siblings will stay I believe
won’t leave our union
it won’t get that bad
unless my thoughts deceive
be sure to stay safe my friend
things could get hectic
talking heads want to yell
wayward sisters
part in peace
wayward sisters
part in peace
wayward sisters
part in peace
