‘Trump Tower:’ #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock-Rap Song

I make no claims to be as good writer as Kanye West or Donald Glover, but I am at least inspired to write lyrics about the dumb shenanigans that took place in Trump Tower. As always, this is just me enjoying writing for fun. This is just a ham-handed first draft. The beat would be fast like West’s “Monster.”

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

living on the 66th floor
life is such a bore
living on the 66th floor

the Russians are in the tower
looking for weakness in the wall
they have the gall to try to explain it away
say something lame, lame, lame
but we all know that Trump knows
he’s selling the country out without a doubt
the leaks are all about making me want to shout
the people are on their way to claim the 66th floor
with a roar

you’ll be able to hear
all the way on the 66th floor
the roar of the people down below
the roar of the people down below

you’ll look down from your redoubt
wondering what all the fuss is about
why are the people so upset
Trump Tower is the center of the traitorous action
you’re catching flack for the attack on our democracy
but there’s nothing much we can do
rush the door of Trump Tower with a roar
but how far we’re going to get
is anyone’s bet

I wish we could burn FOX News to the ground
America would be better for it
but there’s no doubt it’d spring back up
to spread its lies yet again
I wish there was a simple cure
maybe if we rush the tower

you’ll be able to hear
all the way on the 66th floor
the roar of the people down below
the roar of the people down below

[bridge]
there’s nothing more to say
they tell us to just enjoy the humming economy
sit back and get laid
you’ll enjoy it too

but I beg to disagree
party over country is no way to go
this isn’t Vichy France
I’m tired of the easy questions lobbed
I want to cut this boil with a lance
I hope it doesn’t come to a rush on the door
but if it does

you’ll be able to hear
all the way on the 66th floor
the roar of the people down below
the roar of the people down below

‘Mercenary’: #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

Now, let me again be clear — I only write lyrics because I like telling stories in verse. And rather than writing a poem, I feel like at least attempting to use the structure of song lyrics. Anyway, these lyrics are told from the point of view of a woman who lives in that murky gray area between high-class call girl and someone who just has a lot of sugar daddies. There are some pointed allusions that one might draw some conclusions from. But all of this means nothing. No one cares and I’m just relaxing. As always, this is just a crude first draft. I know nothing about music so take that into consideration. The beat for this would be really fast and pop rock like Womanizer.

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

all the boys see walking down the street
but I only care about those who make ends meet
if you want to make me miss a beat
you’re going to have to do more than beat your meat
I’m the kind of gal who will blow your mind
but you’ve got to have the cash to get this piece of ass

they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary
they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary

I’ve had all the men I want and more
had a few take the fall for me
just so they can get access to power
but I’m not wilting flower
I didn’t fall for Don the Con
I squeezed him for what he was worth
’cause I’m the one who has all the dirt

they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary
they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary

[bridge]
we’re all the same
we all feel the same pain
but I’m the one with the fame
want to know more
I can’t explain

don’t call me a victim
I’m far from it
I’m a stunner waiting for my next pray
whomever is willing to pay, pay, pay
is the one who’ll make my day

they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary
they call me a mercenary
a fucking mercenary

‘Coffee Boy’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-R&B Fusion Song

I write lyrics because it’s relaxing. No one cares about any of these lyrics I write, but I enjoy telling stories in verse. The music for this would be something The Weeknd might use.

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

we’re all going down in flames
the administration is run by rubes
the pain is real for the nation on its knees
no matter who you are when you’re gone you’re just

a coffee boy
a coffee boy
believe you me
you too will be
a coffee boy
a coffee boy

when this is all over
and we’re all running for cover
we’ll think back and say
how we wish we’d gotten our way
if only the coffee boy had done it right
maybe we could still live in the light

a coffee boy
a coffee boy
believe you me
you too will be
a coffee boy
a coffee boy

[bridge]
nothing is as it seems
people rush towards me and plead
for some respite from the crushing fright
but we all know it’s gone until daylight

I like my coffee strong
I say with a sigh
this reasoning is weak
we may never get the truth we seek

coffee boy
coffee boy
coffee boy

‘Facts’ — Lyrics To A Woke Folk-Rock Song

These lyrics would be for a song like “Ohio.” I’m just writing these lyrics because doing so is relaxing. That’s all.

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

Rudy is on the job
telling us what he knows
when will the truth come out
does anybody know
anybody know
so we watch the president say
later in the week

he’ll get his facts straight
he’ll get his facts straight
he’ll get his facts straight

what does the president
have up his sleave
when will he just get up and leave
we’re going to have to deal with him
until the very end I’m afraid
he’s not going anywhere and neither are his lies
but we’re going to hear him say about Rudy

he’ll get his facts straight
he’ll get his facts straight
he’ll get his facts straight

[bridge]
nothing is going to change
I long for the truth to come back
but it’s gone for good
as long as Trump’s in charge

I just want things to go back
back to what they once were
when I could trust the president
not to lie, lie, lie
when

he’ll get his facts straight
he’ll get his facts straight
he’ll get his facts straight

‘Gas Killing Animal’ — #Lyrics To A Punk Song

This is just a first draft. Me screwing around with a punk song lyrics. Just for fun.

Gas Killing Animal
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

Assad is on his way
to kill the children and the moms
Trump thinks he can wag the dog
distract, distract, distrct
with an attack on Assad’s ass
’cause on the Twitter box
Trump calls the shots

gas killing animal
gas killing animal
Putin watch out
for the smart missiles

we’re all afraid World Ward III
is about to explode
won’t know what the future brings
once the final canary sings
just one step away
from the final explosion
is what I sing

gas killing animal
gas killing animal
Putin watch out
for the smart missiles

[bridge]
don’t expect us to last
as long as Trump’s got a need
a need to attack
to fight back, fight back

Mueller’s going to break down the door
of the Oval office I suspect
as he does Trump will release his own gas
knock him right out!

gas killing animal
gas killing animal
Putin watch out
for the smart missiles

‘NO MORE DACA DEAL’ — #Lyrics To A Punk Song

Trump’s rantings about “no more DACA deal” sounds like a punk song to me. So, you get this. This is just for fun. It’s relaxing.

NO MORE DACA DEAL
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

no more DACA deal
no more DACA deal
no more DACA deal

we’re going to build a wall
a big beautiful wall
because we have the gall
to think the brown guy is after our jobs
we don’t care that ladders matter
that planes exist
we just shake our fists and hiss
MAGA is for the stupid and ignorant
that’s why we scream

no more DACA deal
no more DACA deal
no more DACA deal

when the revolution comes
we’ll be on top
we’re going to burn Washington
to the ground, to the ground
keep the black and brown guy down
’cause we’re ignorant as they come
as ignorant as anything under the sun

[bridge]
watch us as we scream and shout
about the things FOX News tell us to think outloud
we’re just rubes and fools
who couldn’t finish school

but our dear leader is in control
we’re going to see how things roll
when he tweets out

no more DACA deal
no more DACA deal
no more DACA deal

‘Do Not Congratulate’ #Lyrics To An Old School Hip-Hop Song

I like the song Bust A Move because it tells a story — or, actually, several stories. So, while I’m listening to that song as I write these lyrics, I’m not trying to re-write that song, but these lyrics are influenced by its beat. If I could find someone to help me co-write this and produce this song that would be pretty cool. But I have very low expectations about such things. I’m just doing this because it’s relaxing.

Do Not Congratulate
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

let me break it down for you

I got elected on a fluke with some Russian help
my staff is a gas full of hotties with no class
I direct my staff to bend to my will now
I’m president and I’m ready to party
on a call with Putin they tell me in big bold letters

do not congratulate
do not congratulate
do not congratulate

I ignore them of course and do just that
I’m the president and I can say what I like
even can tell Mueller to take a hike
and when I do, don’t you know
my staff will write something down
in big bold letters that I’ll ignore

do not congratulate
do not congratulate
do not congratulate

[bridge]
we all have heads on our shoulders
we know the facts of the matter
the Russians help me win the presidency
before this is over I’m going to have to flee

I’m ready to take that flight to the next level
they’re going to call me king or a devil
before this is all over with
if I’m on the level
everyone around me will say with glee

do not congratulate
do not congratulate
do not congratulate

‘(Not Going) Anywhere’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

I really don’t have a beat to this one, but if I had to pick, it would be something like “Coming Of Age” by Damn Yankees that features the guitar stylings of one Ted Nugent. I just enjoy writing song lyrics and I’m trying to psych myself up to work on my novel or screenplay.

(Not Going) Anywhere
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

all Ted does is attack attack attack then
survivors of death and destruction
why is it so difficult for us not to understand
we’re not each other’s enemies but possible friends
Ted says they have no souls
but after what they’ve been through
I would suggest they have

old souls
not going anywhere
old souls
not going anywhere
old souls
not going anywhere!

they march on the capitol
going to change the world
what’s Ted done
but shit himself because he was afraid
we’re all waiting for you to make sense
why do you think you got it all Ted
to break through the wall
you have the gall to say they’ve got no soul
when we all know they’re

old souls
not going anywhere
old souls
not going anywhere
old souls
not going anywhere!

[bridge]
we all believe
that you’re a fool Ted
but we’re stuck with you
because the president’s a dick
who we wish would just leave

wish us luck
never again will our young people
have to duck and cover
when is this going to change
when will they have to stop being afraid
but we’re in luck
they’re

old souls
not going anywhere
old souls
not going anywhere
old souls
not going anywhere!

‘Barren’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

Just being silly. Someone on Twitter wrote what I felt sounded like decent lyrics, so you get this.

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

Stormy just does not give a single fuck
her field of fucks is barren and the earth has been salted
she has spanked a president
what more can you expect from her
she’s ready to take him down
if we’re lucky she will I believe

her field of fuck is barren
and the earth has been salted

she’s Stormy Daniels
she’s Stormy Daniels
she’s Stormy Daniels

we’re all going to have to wait and see
what happens with her case against the president
we may see the leader of the free world
gone like so much dust
if Stormy gets her way

her field of fuck is barren
and the earth has been salted

she’s Stormy Daniels
she’s Stormy Daniels
she’s Stormy Daniels

[bridge]
we’re waiting for the end
waiting for the end of this nightmare
what happens next
is anyone’s guess
our fate is in Stormy Daniel’s hands

life was once so simple
but now it’s changed
we have a porn star as a folk here
what once made us blush
is now just a part of life
I guess

‘You Remind Me Of My Daughter’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Dance Pop Song

Now, I know that typically songs like this start with beats then go from there, but I enjoy telling stories in verse so you get this. It’s just for fun. It’s relaxing.

You Remind Me of My Daughter
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter

you’re my kind of girl
I’ll never lie to you
lure you to my bedroom
we can watch shark week
you’ll be on my show
I’ll make you a star
after we go far, far, far

you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter

no know has to know
that you’re going to the show
because of what we do between the sheets
you can spank me all you like
I’ll be your little boy with a hiss
when people ask what we have together
I’ll just say with a smile

you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter

[bridge]
no one will understand
why you make me so glad
all the other girls will be envious
because they know I like it rough

you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter
you remind me of my daughter
