There’s a famous tale that just after the Civil War some freed slaves told some whites “bottom rail on top now.” This is homage to that tale in the form of a Daft Punk-type dance song. Make of it what you will.
Bottom Rail
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
the train is on its way
our fate has been decided
we were on the bottom
now we’re on the top
bottom rail is on top now
bottom rail is on top now
bottom rail is on top now
bottom rail is on top now
our will was honored
’cause people did there part
this is just a start
but I’m going to yell
bottom rail is on top now
bottom rail is on top now
bottom rail is on top now
[bridge]
we’re entering history
things are going to change
much to the dismay
of those who would complain
bottom rail is on top now
bottom rail is on top now
bottom rail is on top now
