‘Aftermath’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song
The music to this would a solid pop-rock song like something you might hear from Arctic Monkeys or LCD Soundsystem. It’s about the aftermath of Donald Trump becoming president.
Aftermath
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
the center did not hold in November
the worst that could happen, happened
so now what, now what, now what
we’re going to have to deal with the
aftermath, aftermath, aftermath
Joe Biden, our nation turns its eyes to you
Joe Biden, our nation turns its eyes to you
Joe Biden, our nation turns its eyes to you
the aftermath of the insane campaign
makes me want to complain, complain, complain
but all that yelling would be in vain
the bad guys won and now we’ve got to fight
we’ve got to do what is right
history will judge us and we have only ourselves to blame
we’ve got to listen to the past and it’ll be a blast
things are going to get rough that’s a fact
but in the end maybe Joe will help us bring things back
yet we can’t just talk we have to act
the Republic is at stake, we can’t cut any slack
Joe Biden, our nation turns its eyes to you
Joe Biden, our nation turns its eyes to you
Joe Biden, our nation turns its eyes to you
[bridge]
there’s going to be a bumpy night
I sigh
it seems as though things may get rough
before it’s over with, my friend
the aftermath of the election
has given me much pause for reflection
but I don’t know what to say
maybe things will change
is my refrain
‘Many People Are Saying’ – #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song
Trump is always saying “many people are saying,” so I’ve turn that into the chorus of a woke pop-rock song that is an homage to Harry Nilsson’s Everybody’s Talkin. The music for this, however, would be more traditional pop-rock in my imagination.
Many People Are Saying
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

[chorus]
many people are saying
at least that’s what I hear
many people are saying
many people are saying
[verse 1]
the world is collapsing around us
Rome is on fire
Rome is on fire
the center won’t hold, hold, hold
at least that’s what I hear
many people are saying
[chorus]
many people are saying
at least that’s what I hear
many people are saying
many people are saying
[verse 2]
our leaders lie to us
demanding to be heard
the herd follows their every word
but not me, but not me
I follow my own beat
at least that’s why I hear
[verse 3]
I have a dream that things
snap back into place
that we’re going to returns to the past
when America was already great
and the president wasn’t insane
[chorus]
many people are saying
at least that’s what I hear
many people are saying
many people are saying
[bridge]
now believe me what I say
we’ll be strong after this
at least I believe this to be true
if it’s not
what are we going to do
many people are saying
many people are saying
the president is insane
and we’re all to blame
and we’re all to blame
The Night The Lights Went Out In Texas #Lyrics To A Woke Country Pop-Rock Song
This is just me screwing around. I am not feeling very inspired right now, but I can see the possibility to tell a story of sorts about the Friday night went it seemed all this news broke about the same time. This would have a country pop-rock beat to it.
The Night The Lights Went Out In Texas
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

it was a quiet Friday night
I was getting ready for next day’s fight
it seemed as though Harvey was the news of the day
that he was going to cause many people pain
but wouldn’t you know Trump made a decision
one that would shake us to our core
remind us of how much he is a bore
soon enough it went across the wire
Trump had pardoned Joe Arpiao
a very bad man indeed
yet another norm broken without heed
that’s the night lights went out in Texas
that’s the night they pardoned a guilty man
don’t you think it won’t happen again
Trump’s got Mueller breathing down his next
I was shocked at this turn of events
shocked as can be
shocked at what was happening to my nation
believe you me
what’s worse the so-called president
made it so transpeople can’t serve
shouldn’t matter how you dress
or where you piss
as long as you serve the country with finesse
that’s the night lights went out in Texas
that’s the night they pardoned a guilty man
don’t you think it won’t happen again
Trump’s got Mueller breathing down his next
[bridge]
what can I say but we’re screwed
nothing is going to change for a while
but I’ll see you at the ballot box
if not next year then 2020, you bet
now let’s just accept where this is headed
keep our head down and focus on the test
it was a Friday night and it all came to a head
that’s the night lights went out in Texas
that’s the night they pardoned a guilty man
don’t you think it won’t happen again
Trump’s got Mueller breathing down his next
Foresight Is 20/20 – The 2020 Election & Trump: Will Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart Save Us?
by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
I have to agree with Roger Stone that there is a real risk of political violence in the next four to eight years. I suspect what is going to happen is that 2020 will be the most consequential presidential election since 1860 and just as messy. I have a feeling that the two parties are going to split into four for similar reasons. The Trump base of the Republican Party will force the Romney establishment of the Republican Party out of the party altogether. Meanwhile, the Zuckerburg center-left of the Democratic Party will split from the progressive base of that party.
I still think that that someone like Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart will throw their hat into the ring change everything. But that’s just me daydreaming. The video below goes into great length about what I’m talking about.

I am feeling creatively restless, so I’m going to try to do some creative things today and tomorrow. But we’ll see. Anything could happen, I guess.
Some Thoughts On Roger Stone & The Possibility of Civil War
by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
I consider myself an amateur historian and it definitely seems as though the United States is hurdling towards some sort of armed domestic conflict because of Trump. What’s going on in the United State is much like what — after the fact — was obvious about the late 1850s — America is tearing itself apart.
It will be interesting to see how all this plays out. Things could get pretty hot over the next 10 years
Trump & The Summer of Hate
by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
In 1967, we had the Summer of Love. People were wearing flowers in their hair, running around naked and having lots of unprotected sex. Flash forward to today and and what do we have? The Summer of Hate. People hurting each other, a president who’s criminally unable to do his job and general hatred and nastiness all over.
It will be interesting to see what happens next.
Talk To Me Internet: #Trump #DPRK #Charlottesville
by Sheltonn Bumgarner
@bumgarls
If it weren’t for the fact that I have to go to work today, would be heading to Charlottesville which is just up the road from here in Richmond. But, alas, I have to work, so I’m stuck doing a Talk To Me Internet about what’s going down. I have a feeling that there could be real violence today in Charlottesville as people in the greater Virginia area learn of the right-wing nutjob protest there.
Meanwhile, while I’m nervous, I’m not really all that concerned — yet — about Trump and the DPRK. Right now it’s all talk. But we’ll see as the month progresses what happens.
