Have A Really Strong SciFi Novel Concept I’m Working On
by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
I don’t have a muse, so I bounce around a lot creatively, but I may have finally stumbled across a novel concept I can believe in. I’ve been looking for a big creative project for years now and I think this one I’m working on may be it.
At least, I’ve managed to flesh out this concept much farther than most of my past efforts. But we’ll see. I’m still a little nervous it’ll all collapse in on itself like so many have in the past, but I’m pressing forward anyway.
I am very please with what I’ve managed to accomplish so far, at least.
But we’ll see. Generally, no one listens to me or cares what I have to say, so I’m going to have to do this all by myself, for myself.
‘Enemy Of The People’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song
Trump definitely has a way of generating song titles, is all I gotta say.
Enemy Of The People
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
you say you’re one of us
tell us the truth
when we’re doubt
but what’s that all about
we don’t want the facts
just want lies
that fly high into the sky
when will it all be by and by
enemy of the people
raging against the night
enemy of the people
tell us what is right
tell us what is right
Just want some peace
flying at the speed of light
some delight to end my fright
the enemy of the people
will open my eyes
what it all means
I can’t seem to glean
maybe I’m not meant
to believe my senses
that’s what Big Brother says
enemy of the people
raging against the night
enemy of the people
tell us what is right
tell us what is right
[bridge]
when will this end
when will air be free again
why are we fighting over this
this shouldn’t be an issue
but it is
but it is
but it is
enemy of the people
raging against the night
enemy of the people
tell us what is right
tell us what is right
Talk To Me Internet: ‘#WalkAway’ Is Russian Bullshit

@bumgarls
Meh. The Russians are bothering us again.
‘After The Witch Hunt’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song
Benjamin Wittes gave me a challenge and so here are my lyrics. Someone else will have to put them to music. 🙂
After The Witch Hunt
Lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
just wait Vlad
wait until the time is right
I’ll betray my nation again
with a smile on my face
it’ll be a big disgrace
after the witch hunt
after the witch hunt
the news will come
after the witch hunt
we’re all rolling around in glas
many people are going to get hurt
I’ll blurt it all out into my shirt
not much isn’t known
I’m just a traitor
but things are too hot now
can’t meet you right away
I’ll wait for a little bit
until things are better
maybe right before the mid-terms
after the witch hunt
after the witch hunt
the news will come
after the witch hunt
[bridge]
why are people so upset
they don’t understand the jest
you’ve got me by the short ones
as everyone knows
after the witch hunt
after the witch hunt
the news will come
after the witch hunt
‘Owning The Libs’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song
Just like telling stories in verse. These lyrics are just a rough draft, but it’s relaxing. No one ever listens to me, but I enjoy venting about how shitty Trump and his followers are in verse.
Owning The Libs
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
Please give credit if you produce or perform
blow your hand off with a grin
anything you can do to own the libs
it’s all you want to do
owning the libs
is your goal
owning the libs
is your goal
owning the libs
why do you do this shit
burn the nation to the ground
run around hoping for the end
turn the keys over to the Reds
hoping they’ll get rid of the libs
why are you so sure the libs are bad
do you have any idea how you’ve been had
lies are all around you I’m afraid
your master implants them in your brain
owning the libs
is your goal
owning the libs
is your goal
owning the libs
why do you do this shit
[bridge]
the truth will set you free
that’s the way it’s meant to be
why are you so afraid of the facts
your desire to own the libs
is absolute
owning the libs
is your goal
owning the libs
is your goal
owning the libs
why do you do this shit
‘Carter Page’ — #Lyrics To A Punk Song
I know nothing about music, but this is meant to have a punk beat to it. I’m just writing stories in verse. Someone else will have to do something with them.
Carter Page
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
a FISA warrant was issues for him
but he don’t mind
he’s got a big old grin on his face
we all know he’s an agent of a forign power
but he just wants us to know his name
Carter Page
Carter Page
that’s his name
Carter Page
being an agent
is his claim to fame
don’t you fret
don’t you worry one bit
Carter Page doesn’t give a shit
his shit eating grin is on CNN
it seems like every minute
he knows all the secrets
knows all the lies
one day it’ll all come crashing down
but you’ll know his name
his name is Carter Page
Carter Page
Carter Page
that’s his name
Carter Page
being an agent
is his claim to fame
[bridge]
Carter Page
just wants his moment in the sun
feeling the spotlight on his face
is its lone saving grace
Carter Page
Carter Page
that’s his name
Carter Page
being an agent
is his claim to fame
‘The Legend Of The Swamp Monster’ — #Lyrics To A Country Folk Pop Song
Just trying to tell a story in verse. Don’t know how successful I was. This is meant to be one of those songs that The Charlie Daniels Band you to do that told a story. Don’t know how successful I was.
The Legend Of The Swamp Monster
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
he came to town saying he’d drain the swamp
but I’m here to tell you the truth
he’s a swamp monster that’s for sure
swamp monster what’s your deal
swamp monster why do you act so weird
swamp monster one day you’ll be gone
every morning we awake to tweets
telling us of the deep state
when will it end is all I wanna know
the swamp monster scares the children
makes it so they can’t sleep
’cause they’re thinking of their fate
hope one day things will be better
we’re all just going to have to deal
until the Blue Wave makes the old swamp monster squeal
but if the swam monster has his way
the Russians will return to the scene of the crime
he came to town saying he’d drain the swamp
but I’m here to tell you the truth
he’s a swamp monster that’s for sure
swamp monster what’s your deal
swamp monster why do you act so weird
swamp monster one day you’ll be gone
[bridge]
I believe we’ll be free one day
but what do I know
we’re going to have to make the change
be the power we strive for
he came to town saying he’d drain the swamp
but I’m here to tell you the truth
he’s a swamp monster that’s for sure
swamp monster what’s your deal
swamp monster why do you act so weird
swamp monster one day you’ll be gone
‘Profit’ — #Lyrics To A Folk Rock Song
This is just me screwing around. I feel like writing lyrics, so I’m trying to tell a story in verse. This is supposed to be about Trump making money off of being president.
Profit
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
well the Constitution tells us what to do
but these days it seems we’ve gone stray
people are making profit off of their position
profit from position
profit from position
profit from position
is what you’re doing
the liar in chief wants me to believe
the deep state is out to get him
that they’re making a profit off their clearence
yet we all know he’s full of it
he’s making a killing off his position
all he does is lie, lie, lie
profit from position
profit from position
profit from position
is what you’re doing
[bridge]
we’re all going to be broke
once this is over that’s the truth
but we still have a chance
just fight
when will we get the truth I wanna know
is it so hard to side with the facts
or is everything just a gass
‘Security Clearance’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Song
This is structured like Radiohead’s Man Of War, so take it for with it is. I just enjoy telling stories in verse, so you get this. It doesn’t mean anything, but it’s fun to do. It’s relaxing.
Security Clearance
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
tell me your secrets I’m all ears
but that won’t stop me
from my pursuit of the truth
it’s all coming to fruition now
people lie all the time
won’t just tell the truth
but I have the keys to the facts
security clearance
security clearance
security clearance
is what I got
that’s all I need
don’t you worry one bit
I’ll have the facts
before it’s over with
security clearance
security clearance
security clearance
is what I got
that’s all I need
