‘Executive Time’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

Just screwing around, trying to tell a story in verse.

Executive Time
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

please give credit if you produce or perform

whenever I want to chirp in dismay
I sit in an oval
tell my aids to go away
sometimes you just need
executive time

executive time
it’s my peace of mind
it’s no lie
it’s no lie
it’s no lie

we’re all in this together
unless you’re a shade too dark
then you’re off the mark
I’m the guy who makes the rules
I make my rules during
executive time

executive time
it’s my peace of mind
it’s no lie
it’s no lie
it’s no lie

[bridge]
maybe I’ll be king for life
wouldn’t that be a delight
don’t mean to give you a fright
but it just mind happen, alright

executive time
it’s my peace of mind
it’s no lie
it’s no lie
it’s no lie

‘Mob Rule’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

This one is structured like Radiohead’s Man Of War. I’m unhappy and so I’m writing song lyrics.

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

tell me the truth
but facts don’t matter to me
I’m the guy who thinks for myself
what matters is how I feel
that’s how I deal

don’t want to hear your words
explosive as they may be
’cause your
the enemy of the people

the enemy of the people

you’ll get what you deserve in the end
I’ll blend in right in

just you wait and see
as to what I have up my sleeve
you’ll never going to see
me coming at thee

mob rule is your goal
mob rule is your goal

turn out the lights it’s over for you
your mob is never going to win
turn out the lights it’s over for you
your mob is never going to win
your mob is never going to win
your mob is never going to win

‘Driving Into The Sun’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song #Vanifesto

This is about the vanifesto.

Driving Into The Sun
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

got a few bombs to drop
my vanifesto on display
wouldn’t want it any other way
my wheels go round and round
like the earth lead by a clown

driving into the sun
going to get it done
dropping truth bombs is my thing
if bodies grow bloody I’m not to blame
driving into the sun
driving into the sun

don’t tell me what to do
what’s it to  you
it’s danger to drive blind
but when you’ve the sun in your eyes
it’s all very sublime

I’n not the man you think I am
always on the go
with my vanifesto don’t you know
watch out if you see me
you won’t know what hit you

driving into the sun
going to get it done
dropping truth bombs is my thing
if bodies grow bloody I’m not to blame
driving into the sun
driving into the sun

[bridge]
when the sun sets
you can bet I won’t rest
I’ve got mail to send
libs to own
if you will

the end is coming quick as can be
I know the dear leader is there for me
when I’m driving into the sun blind as bat
he’s always got my back

driving into the sun
driving into the sun
driving into the sun
driving into the sun

‘Florida Man’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

Just screwing around.

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

you got a spirit all your own
dance to a different beat
strange things are you fate
Florida man

you can a van cover in hate
hope is your enemy I’m afraid
at this late date we your plan
Florida Man

we’re all waiting for your next feat
when are your plans going to be complete
blowing up the land with your rage
trying to make the big, small

don’t know how to combat your words
your actions are for the birds
when will you listen to reason
I know that’s not your scene
Florida Man
Florida Man
Florida Man

[bridge]
gonna leave the sunshine
going to colder climes
to get away from you, man
hope you don’t follow me

Florida Man
Florida Man
Florida Man
Florida Man
Florida Man
Florida Man

‘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
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

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

‘Short Fingered Vulgarian’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

This is an attempt at a John Lennon-like protest song, applied to the Trump Era.

Short Fingered Vulgarian
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

they call us the angry mob
we’ll I’d like to lob a few words their way
much to everyone’s dismay

short fingered vulgarian
short fingered vulgarian
short fingered vulgarian
pretends to lead us
fills me with rage
makes me want to march to the polls
don’t interrupt me I’m on a roll

their dear leader is not so dear to me
he’s just a con man in a cheap suit
got little stubby fingers to boot
lust in his heart for his progeny
it’s pretty obvious to me

short fingered vulgarian
short fingered vulgarian
short fingered vulgarian
pretends to lead us
fills me with rage
makes me want to march to the polls
don’t interrupt me I’m on a roll

[bridge[
once this is over
gunna buy the world a drink
watch the forces of darkness slink
slink back from where they came
under a rock
it’s all really lame

don’t want you tell me the facts
just makes me unable to relax
we’re going to take the country back

short fingered vulgarian
short fingered vulgarian
short fingered vulgarian

‘Could Have Seen This Coming’ — #Lyrics To A Taylor Swift Type Pop Song

No one cares about anything I do creatively, so I’m just relaxing writing song lyrics. My goal is a Taylor Swift-type song.

Could Have Seen This Coming
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

visions of my fate swim around
lately I’m not feeling myself
you’re gone never to return
all I can say at this late date is
who could have seen this coming

who could have seen this coming
nobody but everyone
nobody but everyone I’m afraid
who could have seen this coming
who could have seen this coming

when the end came it was all kind of lame
but that’s your game it’s explained
breaking girls hearts left and right
leaving them with nothing but fright
don’t get me wrong I knew you were doom

who could have seen this coming
nobody but everyone
nobody but everyone I’m afraid
who could have seen this coming
who could have seen this coming

[bridge]
no one is to blame I have to explain
I’m alone again and I feared
but I have no tears in me
’cause the future is past
who could have seen this coming

don’t you fret the best is yet to be
I’m going to dig myself out without a doubt
no one is holding me down like a clown
the future isn’t set

no one will see me coming
no one will see me coming
no one will see me coming

‘Hard Pass’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

I just like telling stories in verse and I have a little bit of time on my hands.

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

he’s running for the hills
’cause he’s just a shill
giving us the long con as he always does
all I’ve got is one answer
and that’s
hard pass

don’t give me that shit
not even one little bit
hard pass
hard pass
hard pass

the zombies do their walk
’cause they know they’re all the talk
expect me to buy in to their lies
but that’s not my type of class
I’m going to balk at this point
it’s a hard pass

don’t give me that shit
not even one little bit
hard pass
hard pass
hard pass

[bridge]
come back when you’re ready
to give me something steady
don’t really expect to be
anything better than bad you see
hard pass

don’t give me that shit
not even one little bit
hard pass
hard pass
hard pass

‘Pattaya’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

This is based on a true story. Make of it what you will. It’s meant to be a rock song like Pulp’s Common People.

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

knew what I was doing once I got off the bus
made a beeline to my hotel
it was cheap as hell
put on my swimming attire
hoping to retire on the beach
aspiring to no good
’cause what else can you do when you’re
on the beach at
Pattaya

Pattaya is where it’s at
the girls are loose and pretty
and that’s a fact
Pattaya is no joke
a great place to go if you’re a bloke
Pattaya
Pattaya
Pattaya

saw two babes in the sun
bathing like two peas in a pod
starlight shone down on us all
they were showing their goods
birds were chirping
bees were buzzing
as padded over their way since I’m a lad

began by asking one if she wanted a drink
looking at me over her shades
she gave me a look made me think I would get laid
juice she said
off went with a scoot

Pattaya is where it’s at
the girls are loose and pretty
and that’s a fact
Pattaya is no joke
a great place to go if you’re a bloke
Pattaya
Pattaya
Pattaya

[bridge]
I was so excited
thought my fate was set
she would be mine that night
you could bet

of course wouldn’t you know
a guy swung by on a crusade
also looking to get laid
he had more dough than I could ever make
before you could lick your lips
both the girls had split
leaving me watching them go
on the beach at Pattaya

Pattaya is where it’s at
the girls are loose and pretty
and that’s a fact
Pattaya is no joke
a great place to go if you’re a bloke
Pattaya
Pattaya
Pattaya

‘Little Black Dress’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Ballad

Oh, I just like writing stories in verse. I have no idea how good I am. I’m probably pretty bad. I definitely need a co-writer and a producer / composer if I were to be serious about turning this into an actual song.

Little Black Dress
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

take a drag off my cigar
my tumbler of whisky almost tumbles out of my hand
as you walk in and amaze
my praise is my lustful gaze
’cause you got it going on in that

little black dress
come sit next to me
’cause you’re driving me wild in that
little black dress
little black dress

wanna caress your thigh
while I talk to the guys
the warmth of your skin
should be considered a sin
tonight we’re going to be fallen angels
’cause you got on your

little black dress
come sit next to me
’cause you’re driving me wild in that
little black dress
little black dress

[bridge]
white is the color of the good
if that’s the case we’re on a roll
’cause we know the score
your little black dress is make me bad
but we’re going to be oh so good

little black dress
come sit next to me
’cause you’re driving me wild in that
little black dress
little black dress
