Save America
Lyrics by Shelt Garner

Please give credit if you produce or perform

everybody wants to point fingers
tell us how to save America
one way or another
but let me tell you
she doesn’t need saving
she’s ready to rock
like she did before

save America
hush your mouth
we don’t need your clout
to save Lady Lib-er-ty
she’s already all we need
we can live off her smile
not wallow in the mud
or worry about the blood

Save America
no need
Save America
don’t you fret
she’s already safe as can be
save America
save America
save America
is a dumb idea

(bridge)
some say we’re on
the edge of distruction
but I believe we’re ready to rock
like we did before
to save America is to ignore
what united us like in times of yore

Save America
no need
Save America
don’t you fret
she’s already safe as can be
save America
save America
save America
is a dumb idea

‘Free Woman Energy’ — #Lyrics to a #Pop #Rock Song

Just screwing around. This is a homage to Britney Spears saying she’s got “free woman energy” now. I find writing lyrics very relaxing and today has been a depressing day, so, lulz.
Free Woman Energy
lyrics by Shelt Garner

she’s free now of the past
can make your own decisions
no one to tell her what to do
no longer a slave for you
’cause she’s got her papers
with

free wonman energy
never felt better
free woman energy
never felt better
she’s ready for the next step
free as can be
free as can be
free as can be

people wanted to keep her down
all they wanted was a frown
but things have changed
no doubt about it
she’s no longer under their thumb
she’s free as can be
no longer on the run

free wonman energy
never felt better
free woman energy
never felt better
she’s ready for the next step
free as can be
free as can be
free as can be

(bridge)
the past could come back
it’s always a risk
bondage could return
in the dead of night
but don’t you fret
she’ll return on a bet

to her
free woman energy
free woman energy
free woman energy
free woman energy

‘Gorgeous Gorgeous Girls’ #lyrics to a #Pop Song

Just screwing around. This phrase is used a lot on Tik-Tok these days and I thought it sounded like the title to a pop song.

Gorgeous Gorgeous Girls
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

gorgeous gorgeous girls
gorgeous gorgeous girls
gorgeous gorgeous girls
they do what they want
they are always top shelf

girls may come and go
but when you’re in need
don’t turn to them I’m afraid
they’re too gorgeous for your hurt
even if you blurt out your shame

boys will be boys
and gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous girls
won’t take your shit
no matter how much you flirt
so leave them alone
they’ll be at your side
when they can get what they want

gorgeous gorgeous girls
gorgeous gorgeous girls
gorgeous gorgeous girls
they do what they want
they are always top shelf

(bridge)
ugly hearted girls
make you take the blame
they don’t realize what they have
too busy making people feel sad
but if you’ve got a black card
there’s always
a gorgious gorgious gorigous girl

gorgeous gorgeous girls
gorgeous gorgeous girls
gorgeous gorgeous girls
they do what they want
they are always top shelf

‘Almost Cool’ — #lyrics to a #country #pop #rock Song

Make of this what you will. I see this as a Hank Williams Jr type song, maybe updated for more modern sensibilities.
Almost Cool
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

I sit here leaned over my beer
tears dropping in one by one
I see the happy couples all around
think to myself wouldn’t it almost be cool
to tell them in their face
that they’re all fools

wouldn’t it be almost cool
to tell them it’s not worth it
not one bit
wouldn’t it be almost cool
almost cool
almost cool
to just let rip with the truth
that love only leads to heartbreak
and shit

but I refrain
I take another sip of my lukewarm beer
look around and see
happy couples that want to make me flee
’cause they don’t know what I know
about affairs of the heart
so I have to control myself from
telling them right away
because

wouldn’t it be almost cool
to tell them it’s not worth it
not one bit
wouldn’t it be almost cool
almost cool
almost cool
to just let rip with the truth
that love only leads to heartbreak
and shit

(bridge)
it’s not cool to have a broken heart
love is so grand why break it in two
when we were together life was grand
then I had to take a stand
one that left me without anything
but beer

wouldn’t it be almost cool
to tell them it’s not worth it
not one bit
wouldn’t it be almost cool
almost cool
almost cool
to just let rip with the truth
that love only leads to heartbreak
and shit

Deep State — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #R&B Song

Make of this what you will. Just letting off some steam.

Deep State
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust

see you with someone else
someone else at your side
I just want to let it slide
but I have to confront that
when you told me you loved me forever
you lied
you lied
you lied

now I’m living in a deep state
deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust

what am I going to do
when I have to admit we’re through
will you ever smile your special smile
the one that makes me feel so high
I fear that’s the past and all my lust
is now nothing but disgust

now I’m living in a deep state
deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust

(bridge)
all this lust I feel in my heart
still burns as hot as the sun
no need for disgust when
the person you love makes you sigh
then I awake as if from a dream
feel all my disgust again

now I’m living in a deep state
deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust
deep state
of disgust

‘Baring My Soul’ #Lyrics #Pop #Rock #Country #Ballad #R&B

These lyrics are really good, at least relative to my ability. And I could see with a proper producer they could be turned into either a pop rock ballad or a pretty good modern day pop rock country ballad. Anyway, I know nothing about music, but I have a broken ankle and so you get this.
Baring My Soul
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

broke my ankle
running your way
sorry to say
you won’t be my nurse
now I’m cursed with pain
in both my body and soul

bearing my heart
bearing my soul
’cause I’m got a broken heart
hoping you’ll heal it
at least that’s a start
bearing my heart
bearing my heart

you said I lied
(I did, maybe a little)
so I rushed your way
to explain the truth
in the darkness of the night
I fell into the drain
what a fright

bearing my heart
bearing my soul
’cause I’m got a broken heart
hoping you’ll heal it
at least that’s a start
bearing my heart
bearing my heart

(bridge)
you told me I belonged
in the drain with the pain
I had caused us both
but you don’t believe that
not one bit
you know we’re met to be
not down the drain with the shit

bearing my heart
bearing my soul
’cause I’m got a broken heart
hoping you’ll heal it
at least that’s a start
bearing my heart
bearing my heart

‘Let’s Go Brandon’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Song

All I can say is — fuck MAGA. But if they’re going to keep producing songs using the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon,” then, well, lulz, I guess I’ll try to write a pop song using it. The song I used as a guide was The Beatles’ “Blue Jay Way.”

Let’s Go Brandon
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

he’s my friend this I know
always telling me no way
we need to leave for home
but he just nod waves

let’s go Brandon
let’s go Brandon
let’s go Brandon
for we will be late

he’s just the type of guy
who promises not to lie
always sleeping indeed
but also quick to greet

let’s go Brandon
let’s go Brandon
let’s go Brandon
for we will be late

(bridge)
stay where you are if you like
don’t move one bit
if that’s how bad
you don’t want to slip
just stay where you are

but let me try one last time
when I say

let’s go Brandon
let’s go Brandon
let’s go Brandon
for we will be late

‘New Model Army:’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad


I have written quickie song lyrics using this title before, but I thought I’d try again. As always, I’m only doing this because it’s relaxing. All of this is pointless because I don’t even know how to play guitar. But I hope to buy a guitar at some point before I croak. Writing song lyrics for real for real is one of my many creative dreams. But I this is just something relaxing to do while I psyche myself up to work some on the first novel in the four novel thriller series I’m writing at the moment.

New Model Army
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

you meet me on the field of battle
we love each other yet we attack
what is wrong with us

I wish things were simple
like they used to be
but now the sun boils down
on your New Model Army

New Model Army

the blood on the ground
is from my beating heart

when this is over we’ll all
gong to set
peace will be at hand
a peace that will last a thousand years

but for your
New Model Army
but for your
New Model Army

the blood on the ground
is from my beating heart
my beating heart
my beating heart

(bridge)
when this is over we’ll all
gong to set
peace will be at hand
a peace that will last a thousand years

but for your
New Model Army
but for your
New Model Army

‘Bad Art Friend:’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Song


I’m just letting off some steam, like I always am whenever I write lyrics. I have no idea what I’m doing, but writing lyrics really quick is a lot of fun and is very relaxing.

Bad Art Friend
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

bad art friend
bad art friend
bad art friend

here I am styling
all the while you’re dying
to tell me about your deeds
to help the sick
you won’t give up
until you get in your lick

in the end
you’re nothing but
nothing but a
bad art friend
bad art friend
bad art friend

I try my best
to avoid your serve
but you’re too good for me
and not even my swerve
can avoid your demands
that I tell you all I know

(bridge)
it’s too good to be true
the things you do to woo
you think I’m a hack
with no talent or class
but I know that’s not so

in the end
you’re nothing but
nothing but a
bad art friend
bad art friend
bad art friend

‘Red October’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Power Ballad


This is my “fuck you” to the fucking Qanon idiots who think something magical is going to happen as a part of “Red October.” Fuck you guys.
Red October
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

my blood beats red in my veins
full of my pain
but I can’t complain now
it’s all my fault and shame
that when the time came
I let it all slip away
when blue September became
red October
red October
red October

the throbbing of my heart
reminds me that you can be a tart
but I always loved you for your spunk
cause you were my rock girl
even when I was your country guy
now all we have is red October between us
do you even remember what we had
on those chilly red October nights

but now it’s all memory
red October is no more
red October is no more
even though I still adore you
I only bore you

but differences came between us
we loved each other until the end
if only I had been more clever
maybe our love would have lasted
longer than one red October
red October is no more
red October is no more
red October is no more
red October is no more

(bridge)
November is here
we all give thanks for those close
I wonder who you’re with
if you rmemeber our red October
that was full of joy
befor it ended too soon

but now it’s all memory
red October is no more
red October is no more
even though I still adore you
I only bore you
