‘Wide Open’ — #Lyrics To An Old School Rap Song

These lyrics would go to an old school rap beat. I don’t have a beat, but the general vibe would be like the type one might find in Bust A Move. That’s the vision, at least. This song is about a hot chick who’s out there and the adventures she takes a guy on.

Wide Open
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

let’s get into it

she’s the type of girl
you think is sweet and coy
but once you get her into bed
you realize it was all a lie
she’s ready to rock around the clock
leaving you in shock
don’t worry though this too will pass
though you’re going to have to relax
if you want to keep up with her sass

she’s wide open
I tell you
she’s wide open
I tell you
she’s wide open

meet her for a drink
she gets drunk and next thing you know
clothes are coming off and she’s poppin out
you panic don’t know what it’s all about
there’s nothing you can do
she’s determined to show some ass
leaving you wondering where she left her class

she’s wide open
I tell you
she’s wide open
I tell you
she’s wide open

[bridge]
we all know girls like her
she seems perfect for you
you both like to drink and to talk
but keeping her in check is a no go
you just don’t want to blow it with her
’cause she’s wide open

she’s wild as can be
leaving you not knowing what to do
how to control her is your quest
but she’s got nice tits
so you feel blessed
you take one look at her and smile
realizing you don’t care at all that she’s
wide open
wide open
wide open
wide open

‘Melanie’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

I’m just screwing around. I like telling stories in verse and so you get this. That’s all that’s going on. Nothing more.

Melanie
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

a misspelled named is a little thing
I’ll admit that but I won’t forget
the other mistakes of the past
there you are dogging on a porn star
you all but admit it’s true

do you even love me
do you even love me
or do you love Melanie
or do you love Melanie

you should know better than this
I want to hiss
but don’t forget my regret
how you make me fret over my fate
when will I be replaced
with a younger model
is it just a matter of time

do you even love me
do you even love me
or do you love Melanie
or do you love Melanie

[bridge]
when the time comes
when this is all over
will you even remember my name
or will it just be another shame?

the name’s Melania
have to note
who’s this Melanie bitch
you speak of?

‘Cannon Fodder’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Song Advocating Gun Control

These lyrics would go to a beat much like Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta.” Something really fast and a little bit dancable. But no one cares what I write, so I just do this for a little bit of relaxation. I write these lyrics really fast, so think of this as a ham-handed first draft.

Cannon Fodder
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

another day and shooting
children’s blood pools on the ground
I scream into the sky looking for hope
but we all know the truth
if you push for change all you get is rage
the wise men in suits will tell you a lie
but the facts are they think
mass murder is

the price we pay for freedom
the price we pay for freedom
our children are just cannon fodder
’cause that’s the price we pay for freedom
’cause that’s the price we pay for freedom

now just wait a second I have to yell
can’t we dwell on solutions
other than more mass murder
can’t we try to fix the problem
isn’t there another way
are you simply not able to be swayed
much to my dismay

the price we pay for freedom
the price we pay for freedom
our children are just cannon fodder
’cause that’s the price we pay for freedom
’cause that’s the price we pay for freedom

[bridge]
will nothing ever change
no matter how much I shout
can’t I get something done about this
why does this happen so often
it’s all so painful to contemplate

but I’d like to think
that this stink will be washed away
our freedom from death and despair
will be repaired
mass murder simply can’t be

the price we pay for freedom
the price we pay for freedom
our children are just cannon fodder
’cause that’s the price we pay for freedom
’cause that’s the price we pay for freedom

‘Doors’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Country Song Advocating Gun Control

I just like Kacey Musgraves’ vibe so this would be a mid-tempo pop country song where you could hear the lyrics really well. She’s really good a stuff like that. Regardless, I just like writing stories in verse and this is relaxing, so there you go. These lyrics allude to the fact that someone recently said it was too many doors in a school, not, like, uh, too many guns, that were the problem with school shootings.

Doors
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

we’re all demanding changes
too many children have died while learning
but you demand more locks on the doors
why can’t you see my friend
the lies you’re spewing aren’t true
it’s glocks not locks we should be thinking about

don’t tell me about
doors
don’t demanded fewer
doors
doors
doors

things don’t seem like they could get much worse
wish people would hear my cry
I don’t care about doors in the schools
we need to fix the problem with guns
locking doors isn’t going to help
when you’ve got an active shooter about

wish it wasn’t this way no way
I wonder if things will ever change
but I’m afraid I know the answer
we’re stuck with what we got
no matter how many locks we get

don’t tell me about
doors
don’t demanded fewer
doors
doors
doors

[bridge]
wish I could change our fate
even at this late date
I’m afraid there’s nothing to say
much to my dismay

when it’s all over
the history of this time is written
what will they say
was the problem too many doors
or too many bores who didn’t care
about the fate of the children

‘Starlight’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Song About Selma Blair

I’m the first to admit that my lyrics are comically bad. But I’m feeling inspired and something on my mind is how kind in a very minor way Selma Blair has been to me on Instagram. I’m a nobody, but she’s been, in her own way, quite gracious to me. So, in honor of that, here are some lyrics that express my gratitude. The general beat of these lyrics would be a Brit-Pop song. Enjoy.

Starlight
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

we’re all made of stars
that’s what they tell me in school
when a star shines your way
if even for a moment
it’s enough to give you pause

she’s not know for her smiles
but she’s a star nonetheless
bright as can be in the summer sky
or on the silver screen

starlight is a powerful thing
starlight is a sight to see
can change the fate of your day
starlight, starlight, starlight

we all live for a moment in the sun
for us to get some of that flavor
of a star’s favor
when it happens to us we smile
knowing it’ll pass soon enough

when all is said and done
just enjoy it while it lasts
don’t get too full of yourself
sass will get you no laughs

starlight is a powerful thing
starlight is a sight to see
can change the fate of your day
starlight, starlight, starlight

[bridge]
starlight shining from up on high
makes mortal men sigh
knowing we can see but never touch
the starlight shining down on us

starlight is her name
she’s got all the fame
she’s an ageless beauty
that’s her claim
starlight, starlight, starlight

‘The Long Con:’ #Lyrics To A Woke Pop Rock Song

This just me screwing around, trying to tell a story in verse. That’s all. Nothing more. I just find writing lyrics relaxing even if no one cares that I’m writing them. These lyrics are about how Trump supporters have been duped by the long con of Trump.

The Long Con
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

he comes in on a horse
telling them what they want to know
they flock to his side
they don’t care what he has to say
as long as he makes them feel great

the long con is the term
it’s enough to make them squirm
the long con is the phrase
that explains, explains, explains

we’re all having a fright
from which they get great delight
knowing they own the night
they have control of the nation
so they allow him to abuse his station

the long con is the term
it’s enough to make them squirm
the long con is the phrase
that explains, explains, explains

[bridge]
in the end
they’ll regreat
what they’ve done
don’t you fret

for the time being
we have to wait
for them to catch up with fate
will it ever happen
that’s the question
we’re just going to have to see
which way goes the breeze

‘Melania:’ #Lyrics To A Woke Pop Rock Song

I am very ambivalent about Melania Trump. She kinda got herself into this situation and so I can only be so sympathetic to her plight. But I’m feeling inspired, so here are some lyrics about her to the general beat of Elvis Costello’s “Veronica.” I only listen to the song to get some sort of beat going on in my head. If someone were to actually do something with these lyrics, they might be able to find a different beat. This is just a ham handed first draft.

Melania
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

she’s got the world under her thumb
but she’s not dumb
her man is a con and she knows
she may be complicit in his deeds
yet she tries her best

Melania
hiding behind your hats
Melania
we all know where your mind is at
Melania

so when will the truth come out
when will things burst into the light
are you ever going to leave Don
be the hero we know you can be
when, honey, are you going to flee

Melania
hiding behind your hats
Melania
we all know where your mind is at
Melania

[bridge]
we’re no fools
we know you can stand his drool
but you’ve made your bed
and now you lie within in
crying yourself to sleep

we’re all now wondering how it ends
when are you going to get tired of the sin
the lies and the saddness
but it won’t end any time soon
that wouldn’t make any sense
we sigh

‘Crossfire Hurricane:’ #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Country Song

In honor of the beautiful and talented Kacey Musgraves, here is my attempt at talking about Trump collusion with the Russians. It’s hopefully garbled enough that someone, somewhere might find it at least interesting. Enjoy.

Crossfire Hurricane
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you and your plausible bullshit
think you can get away with it
you drink white Russians with abandon
have them visit you in your home
when you’re not alone boning storms

crossfire hurricane
that’s the life you live
crossfire hurricane
when are you going to give it up

they say where there’s smoke there’s fire
you live your life without a care
you’d trash the nation for a buck
but you’re not nearly as tough as you think
when the truth comes out your lies will end

crossfire hurricane
that’s the life you live
crossfire hurricane
when are you going to give it up

[bridge]
when all comes to light
you’re going to serve things out right
the bars will be cold
just like your soul

we’re all just waiting for the day
when this will have passed away
but nothing will change until we fight for it
this storm is only the beginning
we’re begging for some winning

‘Trump Tower:’ #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock-Rap Song

I make no claims to be as good writer as Kanye West or Donald Glover, but I am at least inspired to write lyrics about the dumb shenanigans that took place in Trump Tower. As always, this is just me enjoying writing for fun. This is just a ham-handed first draft. The beat would be fast like West’s “Monster.”

Trump Tower
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

living on the 66th floor
life is such a bore
living on the 66th floor

the Russians are in the tower
looking for weakness in the wall
they have the gall to try to explain it away
say something lame, lame, lame
but we all know that Trump knows
he’s selling the country out without a doubt
the leaks are all about making me want to shout
the people are on their way to claim the 66th floor
with a roar

you’ll be able to hear
all the way on the 66th floor
the roar of the people down below
the roar of the people down below

you’ll look down from your redoubt
wondering what all the fuss is about
why are the people so upset
Trump Tower is the center of the traitorous action
you’re catching flack for the attack on our democracy
but there’s nothing much we can do
rush the door of Trump Tower with a roar
but how far we’re going to get
is anyone’s bet

I wish we could burn FOX News to the ground
America would be better for it
but there’s no doubt it’d spring back up
to spread its lies yet again
I wish there was a simple cure
maybe if we rush the tower

you’ll be able to hear
all the way on the 66th floor
the roar of the people down below
the roar of the people down below

[bridge]
there’s nothing more to say
they tell us to just enjoy the humming economy
sit back and get laid
you’ll enjoy it too

but I beg to disagree
party over country is no way to go
this isn’t Vichy France
I’m tired of the easy questions lobbed
I want to cut this boil with a lance
I hope it doesn’t come to a rush on the door
but if it does

you’ll be able to hear
all the way on the 66th floor
the roar of the people down below
the roar of the people down below

‘Mercenary’: #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

Now, let me again be clear — I only write lyrics because I like telling stories in verse. And rather than writing a poem, I feel like at least attempting to use the structure of song lyrics. Anyway, these lyrics are told from the point of view of a woman who lives in that murky gray area between high-class call girl and someone who just has a lot of sugar daddies. There are some pointed allusions that one might draw some conclusions from. But all of this means nothing. No one cares and I’m just relaxing. As always, this is just a crude first draft. I know nothing about music so take that into consideration. The beat for this would be really fast and pop rock like Womanizer.

Mercenary
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

all the boys see walking down the street
but I only care about those who make ends meet
if you want to make me miss a beat
you’re going to have to do more than beat your meat
I’m the kind of gal who will blow your mind
but you’ve got to have the cash to get this piece of ass

they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary
they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary

I’ve had all the men I want and more
had a few take the fall for me
just so they can get access to power
but I’m not wilting flower
I didn’t fall for Don the Con
I squeezed him for what he was worth
’cause I’m the one who has all the dirt

they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary
they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary

[bridge]
we’re all the same
we all feel the same pain
but I’m the one with the fame
want to know more
I can’t explain

don’t call me a victim
I’m far from it
I’m a stunner waiting for my next pray
whomever is willing to pay, pay, pay
is the one who’ll make my day

they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary
they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary
