‘I Started The Media Men List’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

I just enjoy telling stories in verse. I don’t expect this to ever be produced. Just find writing song lyrics on the fly to be relaxing. So, take all of this in context. I see the music to this to be sad and slow like Radiohead’s “How I Made My Millions.” But, whatever. Just having fun.

I Started the Media Men List
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

please give credit if you produce or perform

time has come to change the world
time has come to make a difference
we have to stop standing still
mine is the power to make a change
here is what I did

I started the media men list
I started the media men list
I started the media men list

the winds of change are blowing
making people take notice
but will they hear what I have to say
or will they push it back another day

I am using my voice
to give notice to those in power
that what has been done can be no more
we have to fight the good fight
end men’s ability to take delight by force

I started the media men list
I started the media men list
I started the media men list

[bridge]
when change happens at last
this car won’t run out of gas
been too long
it’s too late
we must continue even at this late date

I started the media men list
I started the media men list
I started the media men list

‘Very Stable Genius’ — #Lyrics to a Pop-Rock Song

I only write song lyrics because it’s relaxing. That’s it. And I like to tell stories in verse. In my imagination, the music to this would be something post-punk like the Psychedelic Furs.

Very Stable Genius
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

Trump is one of those guys
weak man’s take on a strong man
dumb man’s take on a smart man
he think’s got it under control
but we all know it’s all fake

he think’s he’s a very stable genius
thinks he’s a very stable genius
think’s he’s a very stable genius

things could be worse
his cheeseburger could be cold
and Kim Jun Un on hold
but he’s the type of guy
who does everything on the sly

Trump is ruler of the world
wants to bring down ruin on us
it seems as such
but only we can change this
by voting in the fall
resist, resist, resist

he think’s he’s a very stable genius
thinks he’s a very stable genius
think’s he’s a very stable genius

[bridge]
we have to be ready to answer the call
things are dire it’s obvious to me
that the end may come
if we don’t ring the bell of liberty

we have one last chance
one last chance to defeat Trump and his goons
but let’s not lose sight of the fact that
Trump thinks he’s a
very stable genius
very stable genius
very stable genius

‘Have A Great Life’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Power Ballad

Trump, besides putting his grubby hands on a great Beatles lyric, is just a fountain head of lyrics today. So, here goes. The meaning of these lyrics is kind of muddled.

Have A Great Life
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

the end is near it seems between us
we’re going to have to accept
that the last lap has been run
we’re done, done, done
you’ll be gone soon enough
leaving all this behind

have a great life
is all I have to say
have a great life
I mention to my dismay

the powers that be have kicked you out
you had power over me now you’re just a lout
when we look back upon this time
we’ll struggle to figure out
how it happen at all
we will climb to a new fate
leaving me to wonder why we ever did date

these days are scary
with the tweeting going on
war seems about to happen
so I hide in the lyrics of a song
when it will be over is anyone’s guess
but will tell you now Godspeed and God bless

have a great life
is all I have to say
have a great life
I mention to my dismay

[bridge]
you’re quoting Beatles’ songs
much to may dismay
how would you do such a thing
I say with a sway

but goodbye is all I have to say
you’re gone now for good
at least that is your claim to fame

have a great life
is all I have to say
have a great life
I mention to my dismay

‘Frog’ — Lyrics To A Woke Rock Song #resist

This is meant to be a homage to the epic songs of the 70s by The Who and The Rolling Stones.

Frog
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give give credit if you produce or peform

we’re in a frog in a pot that’s boiling I’m afraid
the question is are we going to hop out
are we going to hop out before it’s too late
I don’t know about you, my friend
but it’s too hot for my liking
let’s hop out!

the we hear from the adminstration
how everything is fake news
they alone have the facts for us to believe
but what am I to say
I can feel the steam of this water coming my way
I’m not going to let them cook me or you
we’ve got to do something
see you in the streets

we’re a frog in a boiling pot
we’re a frog in a boiling pot
we’re a frog in a boiling pot
it’s up to you
what are you going to do
I say hop out!

people are frantic
they’re in a panic
they don’t know what to do
but I tell you if you want to live through this
we’re going to have to hop out
we have to agree
to hop out!

we’re a frog in a boiling pot
we’re a frog in a boiling pot
we’re a frog in a boiling pot
it’s up to you
what are you going to do
I say hop out!

[bridge]
people tell me to cool it
tell me not to be angry
but that’s not my speed
I refuse to be cooked
cooked in a boiling pot

we’re a frog in a boiling pot
we’re a frog in a boiling pot
we’re a frog in a boiling pot
it’s up to you
what are you going to do
I say hop out!

‘Moore’s Law’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop Rock Song

I imagine this to be a Doobie Brothers’ kind of song.

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

Moore’s law is what’s it’s about
if there’s grass on the field
he’s ready to play
Moore thinks he’s a man
the people on the Right
will defend him till the end
they have no morals I’m afraid
they live in sin

the people of Alabama
have no sense
how did we get into this prediciment
Moore’s law I’m afraid
is that anyone is fair game to get laid
he’s going to represent the great state
the great state of Alabama
while Trump is president

Moore’s law
that’s what they want us to believe
Moore’s law
Moore’s law
oh dear me

[bridge]
what are we going to do
what happens next
have things come to and end
should we give up
and begin again?

when will all of this end
when will we come to our senses
that’s all I need to know
never is the answer
the answer because of
Moore’s law
Moore’s law
Moore’s law

‘Good Guy With A Gun’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Rock Song

This is meant to be the type of rock song they used to make about 10 years ago, with a political bent.

Good Guy With A Gun
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

when the shots are fired
you tell me that more guns are the answer
but I tell you that guns aren’t the answer
no not all
we need to manage the guns we got

good guy with a gun
good guy with a gun
he’s not the answer
guns never are
we need to accept that
before another drop of blood

one day people will flee
at the drop of a hat
when guns are flooding the streets
people just blink and say
that more guns are the way

but I can’t agree
makes no sense
that pumping out guns
will fix the problem of guns
when you say we need a good guy with a gun
you make me want to puke

good guy with a gun
good guy with a gun
he’s not the answer
guns never are
we need to accept that
before another drop of blood

[bridge]
why do we talk of this at all
what’s the problem
why do have to explain
that a good guy with a gun
isn’t the answer
isn’t the answer

but people want to tell me
with a grimace
because they think the answer is clear
that a good guy with a gun
is what we need to hold dear

good guy with a gun
good guy with a gun
he’s not the answer
guns never are
we need to accept that
before another drop of blood

‘Thoughts And Prayers’ — #Lyrics To An Angry Woke Folk-Pop-Rock Song

The music to this would be angry and folk pop rock like Neil Young’s Southern Man.

Thoughts And Prayers
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

another day another mass death
it’s all too much I fret
how many is it today I wonder
how many young children torn from their mothers
but the NRA and Donald Trump
look at the color of the shooter and decide
if they take away rights for all or say

thoughts and prayers
is all they can give
thoughts and prayers
to say such a thing
in my view
is a sin

thoughts and prayers
are what they want us to say
they’re so afraid of the NRA
and the score they’ll get
they don’t care how many more die
they don’t care about it at all

when are we going to resist
when are going to stop to think
that this can’t go on forever
it all makes me want to drink
but until we address the problem
it’s all going to stink

thoughts and prayers
is all they can give
thoughts and prayers
to say such a thing
in my view
is a sin

[bridge]
I can see a future
one without guns
one where we love one another
it’s shouldn’t be that big a problem
where’s the rub?

I worry that we’re all doomed
doomed to die
at the hand of a gun
because we refuse to do anything
but I’ve got to have hope

thoughts and prayers
is all they can give
thoughts and prayers
to say such a thing
in my view
is a sin

thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers

‘Rebound Boyfriend’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Rock Song

I’m just in the right mood to write song lyrics, so you get this.

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

so you’re in love it seems
fate’s arrow has you split at the seams
but should things change
should you be on the run
just know you can run right into my arms

so baby please
let me be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
with that time comes
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend

it’s about time you thought things out
time you made it about us not him
I know you don’t feel right
think it’s a sin
but let me in, baby, let me in
I’ll make you my queen
until you realize your mistake

it’ll be fun
it’ll be great while we date
but you’ll grow tired eventually
of my quirks and lack of cash
but we’ll have fun while it lasts
so let go of the past
let me be your future

so baby please
let me be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
with that time comes
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend

[bridge]
things will be better I swear
you’ll be filled with delight
in the middle of the night
the sun won’t set until you feel right

so baby please
let me be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
with that time comes
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend
I wanna be your rebound boyfriend

‘Love On The Loose’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

I don’t know anything about music, but these lyrics are about the epic sex scandal rocking the worlds of politics, entertainment and virtually every industry. This would be a dance-pop-rock song. It’d have a beat and you could dance to it.

Love On The Loose
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you’re just trying to do your job
keep your head down
hoping you can stop eating soup
so when he whips it out
that’s not the meat you expect to see
looking for a little bit of an edge

it’s love on the loose
if you can call it that
love on the loose
keep it a secret for now
love on the loose

he wants you to touch it
but you rebuff him
telling him you’re not that kind of girl
but he insists
you run away fast as you can
fast as you can
fast as you can
this wasn’t part of the plan
everything has changed

what can you say now
things have gone too far
you’ve got a mental scar
you’ve got to address your new fate
how are you ever going to trust a date

it’s love on the loose
if you can call it that
love on the loose
keep it a secret for now
love on the loose

[bridge]
what happens
what do you say
how do you address that fool
when you meet him in hall
how is it he had the gual

maybe one day it’ll all change
maybe the stain will fade
but it’s in your head
rattling around
it’s love on the loose
love on the loose
love on the loose

‘Montreal’ — #Lyrics To A Love Ballad

This is just me fooling around. I have specific music in my head as I write this that someone provided, but the lyrics aren’t 1-1 to the beat. That’s for no other reason than I don’t know anything about music. But it’s fun to write anyway. Enjoy.

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

she’s the type of girl
leaves you aghast with her sass
she’s a really lovely lass
she makes you dream of her ass
she’s just out of your grasp I’m afraid
she’s a city like no other
makes me sing for glee

Montreal
princess of the north
Montreal
wife of the snow
makes you go for a roll

nothing can compare
to how she makes you want to stop a spell
let me dwell on your smile
I’m just a mortal guy

Montreal
princess of the north
Montreal
wife of the snow
makes you go for a roll

wish you’d be mine
Montreal
your smile is a mile long
