‘Be The Power’ — #Lyrics To An Old School Rap Song

These lyrics are meant to up a homage, a spiritual successor to Public Enemy’s Fight The Power.

Be The Power
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

please give credit if you produce or perform

they told us long ago
to fight the power
well it’s a new century
the power we want to be is within
no need to fight it be it

be the power
be the power
make the change you want
be the power
be the power

we’re run by the Russians
the tweeting tyrant tells us no
hit the streets if you want to hear yes
don’t be afraid to express your views
just expect to be in the news
they want to keep us down
out of the people’s house with their lies
but we’re going to bring the down

be the power
be the power
make the change you want
be the power
be the power

[bridge]
don’t expect me to be quiet
now while the they grow rich
as the population grows poor
they’re going to hear us roar

I don’t expect it to be easy
we’re ready to do what it takes
getting their attention will be tough
but we got to make it so they can’t ignore us
be the power
be the power
be the power
be the power

‘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

‘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

‘Tell Me What You Know’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Song

I felt inspired. I have no beat, just lyrics.

Tell Me What You Know
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

tell me what you know
that’s what I need
tell me what you know
that’s how I’ll deal

you’re running through the streets
gun in hand
screaming at the top of your lungs
as if you have a plan
tell me what you know

I’ll be the first to admit
that you don’t seem to fit
the narrative is out of control
we’re all on a roll

tell me what you know
that’s what I need
tell me what you know
that’s how I’ll deal

[bridge]
we’ll know soon enough
that’s what I know
we’ll all be free of this
ready to roll
ready to roll
ready to roll

tell me what you know
that’s what I need
tell me what you know
that’s how I’ll deal

‘Ask Me Anything’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Ballad

Just screwing around with song titles and concepts. This one is pretty good. Just like telling stories in verse. That’s all that’s going on. It’s relaxing.

Ask Me Anything
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

we’re all alone in this world
don’t know what I’m going to do
moan all you like but in the end
life can give you a twirl
so I say to fate with a wink

ask me anything

maybe you’re the one
I tell you and smirk
is it possible you’re my love
a white dove ready to coo
what ever am I going to do

don’t you fret at all
I’m ready to take the plunge
ready to open the door to our first date
but you’ve got to stop waiting
get off your ass and ask

ask me anything
let the questions flow
from your tongue to my mind
ask me anything
ask me anything

[bridge]
let me answer all your questions
ease all your fears
I’ll get you closer to
everything you hold dear

what is there to worry about
once you ask me anything
I’ll say yes
maybe tonight
we’ll get undressed

ask me anything
let the questions flow
from your tongue to my mind
ask me anything
ask me anything
