‘Sisters’ — #Lyrics To A ‘Purposeful Pop’ Song

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

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

‘Verified’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Protest Song

I have no beats to go with this one, just a general concept. Enjoy.

Verified
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

a blue check sits next to your name
doesn’t mean you’re any more sane
if anything it means your more than me to blame
for the state we’re all in you
nattering nabob of negativism

all I wanna be is verified, verified, verified
wanna see my name in lights
if I’m verified it’ll be a delight
verified, verified, verified

the world has gone to shit
bit by bit and click by click
things are dire I do believe
all you have to do is look at the screen

nothing is as it seems anymore
people lie thought we know the score
when will this ever end my friend
I look forward to this era’s end

all I wanna be is verified, verified, verified
wanna see my name in lights
if I’m verified it’ll be a delight
verified, verified, verified

[bridge]
people come and people go
in my heart I’m no ghost
once I’m verified people will listen
change the world you’ll see
just have someone verify me

I’m not one to brag
just know I’m better than most hacks
give me a blue check quick as can be
then you’ll see

just wanna be verified, verified, verified
verified, verified, verified
verified, verified, verified
verified, verified, verified
