These lyrics are about Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and how no one who meets him seems to remember the meeting. In my imagination, the music to this would be slow and melodic like a Blur song. But, again, no one cares about any of these lyrics and I’m just writing them to try my hand at telling a story in verse in a way that’s expected to be sung.
A Forgettable Man
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
people meet him day and night
but when you ask them about it
they seem full of fright
what’s to be said about this all
when at the center of this pall is
a forgettable man
Sergey Kislyak
a forgettable man
Sergey Kislyak
what’s up with all of that
Trump may have colluded
with our enemy
but it seems to me as though
no one can see the obvious
the spymaster is controlling things
Sergey Kislyak
Sergey Kislyak
Sergey Kislyak
now we’re going to have to address
the fact that we’re in duress
there’s little we can do now
but express our pain and fear
everything we hold dear is in danger
Sergey Kislyak
Sergey Kislyak
Sergey Kislyak
a forgettable man
Sergey Kislyak
a forgettable man
Sergey Kislyak
what’s up with all of that
[bridge]
we need to be brave
need to explain the problem
let’s pave the way to the truth
is my refrain
but how do we get the truth
when all Trump does is lie and lie
where are the tapes, I sigh and sigh
maybe one may knows
a forgettable man
Sergey Kislyak
a forgettable man
Sergey Kislyak
what’s up with all of that
