This is a political homage to Pearl Jam’s “Black.” This is about the election of Donald Trump as president.
Nightmare
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
the night creeped forward
we had no idea what to expect
but the Comey letter had its affect
not we’re dealing with a dream
a nightmare really
that’s lasted for months now
when will it end
when will it end
we’re going to wake up one day
we all know it’s true
our love for country is too strong
this can’t go on forever
we can only hope that something will change
sooner rather than later
when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp
when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp
there doesn’t seem to be any hope now
the walls are closing in
closing in, closing in
but we can only hope for a change
Mueller’s team is on the case
when will they arrive
I scream into the night
the darkness of this nightmare
seems forever
seems like it won’t ever break
seems like the day will never come
but we have to believe it will
when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp
when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp
[bridge]
what happens next
is anyone’s guess
what if we learn the truth
and we just shrug
what will happen then
is there any hope?
we have to be strong
we have to believe
that there’s a chance
a chance in three
that Lady Liberty will rise again
rise again and be free
