‘Trumplandia’ — #Lyrics To A Fast Pop-Rap Anti-Trump Protest Song

I may have used this as a song title before, but I have come up with a new way of using it, so there you go. This would be a really fast song like “We Didn’t Start The Fire” and “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine.) That’s the vision, at least.

Trumplandia
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

it started with Russian bots
telling us what to do
playing with our heads late at night
giving us a fright
then the comedy letter ended Hillary’s gaul
she had to take the fall, take the fall

before you know it
we wake up and it’s Trumplandia
Trump is in control
the chaos rolls in like the tide
and people are eating Tidepods for a like
so much has happened where to begin, to begin, to begin

don’t mess with the Mooch
he’ll just screw the pooch
people at the airport in support
of immigrants
Trump passes tax cuts in order to loot
the treasury
dear me, dear me, dear me

we wake up and it’s Trumplandia
we wake up and it’s Trumplandia
we wake up and it’s Trumplandia

we’re all in Trumplandia now
when will it end? when will it end?
will Stormy Daniels bring us respite
from the hell that lasts all day and all night

[bridge]
just hope it’s over soon
hope it ends with Trump behind bars
or at least a zoo
what can you do, what can you do

each day brings with it a new scandal I’m afraid
people tell me to shut up and just get laid
we’ll they can suck it as far as I care
this fight ain’t over, don’t you fear

we wake up and it’s Trumplandia
we wake up and it’s Trumplandia
we wake up and it’s Trumplandia

‘Eyeache’ — Lyrics To A R&B Love Ballad

I can’t sleep — it’s too early to go to sleep anyway — so I’m relaxing by writing song lyrics to songs that will never, ever be performed. I just liked telling stories in verse, so you get this. This would be a dark, funky R&B song in my imagination.

Eachache
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you catch my eye every time we meet
I think of the ways I’d please you
given half a chance
but you just smile and walk away from me
leaving to my cross thoughts
of how everything is for not

your beauty makes my eyes ache, eyes ache
you break my heart
you break my heart
leaving me with eye ache, eye ache

my eyeache is real
wish you would give me the thrill
of allowing me to give you a twirl
but there’s little for me to say
maybe, baby, you’ll come my way

we should live a little I believe
let me have you believe
that things will get better with you in my arms
leave all those troubles behind

your beauty makes my eyes ache, eyes ache
you break my heart
you break my heart
leaving me with eye ache, eye ache

[bridge]
you’re just my type
one to give me delight
wish you would listen real close
let me hold you tight

but now it’s never going to happen
you’re leaving town for good
taking your man with you
at least, that’s what’s understood

your beauty makes my eyes ache, eyes ache
you break my heart
you break my heart
leaving me with eye ache, eye ache

‘No Sign O The Times’ — #Lyrics To Funk Anti-Trump Protest Song

This is just me screwing around. I’m trying to write a homage to Prince’s Sign O The Times that talks about how Trump not signing his hush agreement with with Stormy Daniels is pretty typical of this era we now live in. Let me stress, I have no beats and I’m just screwing around.

No Sign O The Times
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

in this crazy era of ours what can I say
our leaders demand hush agreements of lovers
so they can be president
then they….don’t sign
if that’s not a sign of the times
I don’t know what is
if you get what I mean
if you get what I mean
if you get what I mean

it’s no sign o the times
I’m afraid
people want all the power
but none of the responsibility
they think they can get away with it all
and we’ll ignore it
as long as we’re entertained

it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times

[bridge]
but we can only hope
that the people are no dopes
that they won’t be rubes
that they can see the truth

it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times
it’s no sign o the times

‘Take The Money, Stormy’ — #Lyrics To A R&B Anti-Trump Protest Song

This is not meant to be a parody song, but I could see how one might think it is. The issue is, I just don’t have beats, so I have to listen to existing songs to get some beat structure. But this song would be a R&B song about how Trump got Stormy Daniels to sign a hush money agreement.

Take The Money, Stormy
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

last night I read the polls
it seems as though things are very close
we’ve had our good times and our bad
sent you pictures I shouldn’t have
now it’s time for our love to end
so all I can say for the sake of the nation is

take the money, Stormy
it’s for the best
take the money Stormy
I can ask no less

I’m not a perfect man I know
you remind me of Ivanka as I’ve said
but she’s my daughter so she I can not bed
you’re as beautiful as they come
yet things have come to an end for us
my desire to make myself president
only makes Melania hiss

take the money, Stormy
it’s for the best
take the money Stormy
I can ask no less

[bridge]
your touch was lovely
made me feel so big and so strong
it’s obvious though
we can no longer get along

when this is all over
maybe we can talk
but it’s time for this to be over
election is almost hear
and I can’t roll over and let you talk
to the fake news press

take the money, Stormy
take the money, Stormy
take the money, Stormy

‘Drinking Problem’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Country Rock Song

I like to drink and a woman I have a crush on does, too. So, this is me pining for her in lyrics. I just like to tell stories in verse, so you get this. I could see someone putting a country pop spin on this, actually.

Drinking Problem
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

she says she’s been wasted
for days and I didn’t get your message
but you’d wait and wait and wait
if you thought it’d help you get a date
but she’s far away and you’re always too late

you’d drink her in given a chance
she’d give you a drinking problem
she’d give you a drinking problem
one glance would do the trick
given you a drinking problem real quick

she’s the kind of dame
makes you feel lame, lame, lame
she’s got real personality
likes to drink as much as you do
but to tell so would make feel a fool

so many women out there who drink like a fish
but to get just one kiss from her would make you blush
she’s special as can be
but you’re afraid she’d flee if she knew
the feelings you had for her

you’d drink her in given a chance
she’d give you a drinking problem
she’d give you a drinking problem
one glance would do the trick
given you a drinking problem real quick

[bridge]
there’s so much drama in the world
you’d like to stir things up with her
just one smile would make you walk a mile

you’d drink her in given a chance
she’d give you a drinking problem
she’d give you a drinking problem
one glance would do the trick
given you a drinking problem real quick

‘Witch Hunt’ — #Lyrics To A Fast, Hardrock Anti-Trump Protest Song

I write these lyrics for no other reason than Trump keeps giving me concepts to play with and I find writing song lyrics relaxing.

Witch Hunt
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

it’s a witch hunt
that’s what Trump tweets
randomly it seems
he’s using his executive time
to lie, lie, lie

but we all know it’s Mueller time
and Trump’s time is up
he’s going to be lumped up
rolling and shoved
into a jail because

this is no witch hunt
this is no witch hunt
this is no witch hunt

we’re all going to cheer
when all that we hold dear
is finally protected from Trump’s weird
will we all get to see his political career end
I hope so, oh dear

[bridge]
let’s rage against the night
until we see some delight
with Trump behind bars
living with all the scars

you can’t tweet yourself out of this
you POTUS piece of shit
we’re coming for you
because this is no witch hunt
this is no witch hunt
this is no witch hunt

‘You Messed With The Wrong High School’ — #Lyrics To An Anti-Gun Rock Song

This would be a pop rock song that had a beat that you could dance to. It’s about Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

You Messed With The Wrong High School
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

think you can walk all over us
without any care without any fuss
but let me be clear NRA
you don’t know the hornet’s nest
that you’re now messing with
you messed with the wrong high school
you messed with the wrong high school
you messed with the wrong high school

things are dire right now that true
the NRA is all powerful and adults tell us no
tell us to shut up and study hard
so we get into the school of our choice
what’s the point if we’re dodging bullets?

you messed with the wrong high school
you messed with the wrong high school
you messed with the wrong high school

[bridge]
just watch us as we fight, fight, fight
we’ve got teen spirit as they say
there’s more than life than grades
we want to live to get laid

we’re ready to show you our spunk
there’s no end to our fight
this struggle won’t be easy it’s true
thing’s are just beginning ’cause

you messed with the wrong high school
you messed with the wrong high school
you messed with the wrong high school

‘Kid’s Crusade’ — #Lyrics To An Anti-Gun Pop Song

This is my effort to talk about the Parkland anti-gun movement. It would be a peppy pop beat.

Kid’s Crusade
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

adults are acting like children
bickering amongst themselves as innocents die
so it’s time for the kids to take control
take control of the debate
it’s time for a
kid’s crusade
kid’s crusade
we’re going to end the deaths

they say we’re too young
we should keep our views to ourselves
but adults’ time is up
they seem to be so out of touch
now is our time to make some change
we’re on a kid’s crusade

kid’s crusade
kid’s cruade
kid’s crusade

[bridge]
see on my TV screen
the NRA members scream
we’re going to shut them up
show them that Parkland is tough

this is not the end
this is just the beginning
we’re the future
those who cling to their guns the past

kid’s crusade
kid’s crusade
kid’s crudade

‘Crisis Actor’ — #Lyrics To An Anti-Gun Ballad

Writing lyrics is relaxing. These lyrics are decent.

Crisis Actor
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

they try to tell me it didn’t happen
that it’s all a lie
the shots weren’t fired
the blood didn’t spill
my friends aren’t dead
it’s all in my head
but I know for a fact they’re wrong

I’m no crisis actor
I’m no crisis actor
I’m no crisis actor

we’re all in this together
gotta fight till our last breath
to get the laws changed or it’s or death
what can we do at our young age
when adults just scream
and act deranged
we’re in a crisis that’s the truth
but to call me a crisis actor
is just too much

I’m no crisis actor
I’m no crisis actor
I’m no crisis actor

[bridge]
we’re going to fix this problem
that’s for sure
march on Washington is just the beginning
we’re in it till the end
that’s no sin

you can claim I’m wrong
that we’re too young to know right from wrong
but adults won’t lead
so I guess it leaves it up to me

I’m no crisis actor
I’m no crisis actor
I’m no crisis actor

‘Last Man Standing’ — #Lyrics To An Anti-Gun Pop Ballad

This one turned out ok. Too bad no one cares about anything I write. But it’s relaxing to vent in verse.

Last Man Standing
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

the day began normal enough I’m afraid
young teenagers hoping to get laid
soon enough, soon enough
things go pretty rough
active shooter alarm rang through the halls
teachers cover their children in a rush
hoping it was all a drill
who would be
the last man standing
the last man standing
the last man standing

fleeing for our lives
we screamed and screamed
hoping against hope that we would surive
would we be accused of acting once it was over
would we get death threats for speaking out
that’s the cost of being
the last man standing
the last man standing
the last man standing

finally things ended with a bang
we realized we could at last take a breath
the tears of rage began as they always do
what to do next was on our lips
it just too us time to process
our new status as
the last man standing
the last man standing
the last man standing
