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

The Russian bots are out in force today, trying to give our insane American Caligula some messaging via Twitter. I have nothing better to do at this point in the morning, so here is a first draft of an attempt to talk about this in verse. I just like writing song lyrics for no other reason than it’s relaxing.

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

the Russian bots are out in force
they want the president to be a fool
in it to win it
they’re out to break our liberty
what are we going to do when they win
we have to be sure they fail
it’s our lot to shake free
they scream collusion delusion
when we know it’s they who’s crazy

collusion delusion
collusion delusion
collusion delusion
it’s bullshit

when will this all end
how are we going to fair
when our democracy is declared at an end
we have to fight the good fight, my friend
lend me your ears
hear as I shout
dare to dream a future of freedom
when the Russians are gone
and we can sing our own song

don’t listen to them when they say
collusion delusion
collusion delusion
collusion delusion
it’s all a sham
is what I say

[bridge]
what are we going to do
what are we going to say
when the Russians arrive on our shores
ready to go once more

so ignore what they say
we’re going to have our day
at least, that’s what I say
there’s no collusion delusion
I scream
hoping someone will hear in the void

collusion delusion
is bullshit
collusion delusion
what a farce

‘Look My Way’ — Lyrics To A Pop Rock Ballad

I’m pining for a woman who I like but she doesn’t seem in the least bit interested. You know, the usual.

Look My Way
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

all I need all I want
is your time
a little bit of your time
and for you babe
to look my way, look my way
I don’t want to whine
I just want your time
I just want your time
I just want your time

you’re so kind
but I can’t figure you out
what is in your mind
why are you torn up inside
I wish you’d look my way
so I could sway to be my babe

I don’t want to whine
I just want your time
I just want your time
I just want your time

[bridge]
please be mine
let me hear you near me
give me a smile
and maybe let me
touch your thigh

but you’re going to walk away
leaving me only with fears that stay
’cause you won’t give me any of your time
just a moment of it
would be sublime
would be sublime
would be sublime

I just want your time
I just want your time
I just want your time

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

This is just me screwing around. These lyrics are about me telling Trump supporters who get so bent out of shape about me saying their racist to own it. Instead of shadowboxing and bob and weaving about how they support a racist, misogynistic bigot they should ‘own it.’ I may have used this title before, but no one cares about any of these lyrics and it’s just for fun, so, so what?

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

I tell you you’re a fucking racist
but you just get mad
tell me to get out
after I’ve screamed and screamed
that little hands demeans
women left and right
you don’t put up a fight
just don’t say I want to take your gun
that’ll start a fight
but all I gotta say
much to my own dismay is

own it
own it
just shut up it and
own it
own it

but there’s nothing I can do
nothing I can say
that will make you play my way
you’re always going to yell
when I tell you the truth
you’re a fucking racist without a doubt
why does that bother you so much
I have to ask
when Donnie has admitted to be a cad

so we’re at a stand still it seems
nothing will change I’m afraid
you’re still in your cult
still in your bubble
reams of paper prove
my thoughts but what can you do

own it
own it
just shut up it and
own it
own it

[bridge]
we’re all in this together
our leaders are afraid of the NRA
wish I could get an amen
from my friends on the other end

we’re all going to have to fight
hash it out until the end
I just don’t know where to begin
I just don’t know where to begin
I just don’t know where to begin
you can begin, my friend when you

own it
own it
own it
own it

‘Avoidance’ — #Lyrics To A R&B Pop-Rock Song

I fear my crush is actively avoiding me, so this is about someone talking about that scenario. As always, I just am writing these lyrics to vent and relax. It’s not like they’re any good or that anyone will ever produce them.

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

headed to the protest
hoping you’ll be there, be there
but your beau is supicious
won’t let you get within inches
so I walk around
looking for your smile
but it’s obvious to me
that you’re avoiding I believe

one day when you’re free
maybe you’ll be by my side
until then I’m alone
thinking of thee

you’re avoiding me
it’s obvious I’m afraid
you’re avoiding me
just hope you won’t flee
just hope you won’t flee

I hope to see you near
call you dear
maybe feel your presence near me
but I’m afraid it’s not to be
you’ll never be mine
’cause you love your man

you’re avoiding me
it’s obvious I’m afraid
you’re avoiding me
just hope you won’t flee
just hope you won’t flee

[bridge]
nothing will ever change
I’m afraid
I’m afraid
I’ll just think of you
with this sad refrain

you’re avoiding me
you’re avoiding me
you’re avoiding me

avoidance
avoidance
avoidance

‘John Bolton (We’re All Going To Die)’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

One thing I keep hearing about John Bolton becoming National Security Adviser is “we’re all going to die.” So, in that spirit, here are some lyrics to yet another pop-rock song that will never be produced. I write these very fast and you could consider this a first draft of sorts. I do this just for fun because it’s relaxing.

John Bolton (We’re All Going To Die)
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

never met a war he didn’t like
John Bolton will have the president’s ear
everything we hold dear is at risk
what are we going to do now
I ask and I ask

we’re all going to die
John Bolton
we’re all going to die
John Bolton
we’re all going to die

things seem so dire
but I wish they’d get higher
we’re all just going to have to wait
the weight of the world is on our minds
now that John Bolton tells Trump the time
the time to start a war
what are we going to do now
I sigh

we’re all going to die
John Bolton
we’re all going to die
John Bolton
we’re all going to die

[bridge]
but maybe I’m wrong
maybe it’s all a dream
one I wake up with a scream
let it be so
I plead

but who knows what to say
when they tell me to shut up
and just get laid
the end may be near
and everything I hold dear
will be made dust
gotta have a lust for life
so what are we going to do
we’re all going to die
we’re all going to die
we’re all going to die

‘Getting High With Russell’ #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

I just like this expression and so I’ve decided to write lyrics about this.

Getting High With Russell
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

these days can be so stressful
Netflix and chill
just isn’t much of a thrill
so in an effort to deal
I hang out with Russell

I get high with Russell
’cause that’s my thing
make me feel so chill

getting high will Russell
getting high will Russell
getting high will Russell

he’s my right hand man
the guy I turn to when I’m in need
in need of some weed
he’s there’s for me all the time
gives me reason to smile

getting high will Russell
getting high will Russell
getting high will Russell

[bridge]
Russell knows where it’s at
he’s going to clean up is act
but before he does pass the dutchie
pass it on the right hand side

wee’re all going to laid
we’re going to have it made
but before we do let me explain
that I have to get high with Russell

getting high with Russell
getting high with Russell
getting high with Russell

‘Eat The Salad, Rex’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock Song

In my imagination these lyrics would go a fast hard rocking song like R.E.M’s What’s the Frequency Kenneth. Let me be clear — I know none of these lyrics will ever be produced, but it’s relaxing to write stories out in verse.

Eat The Salad, Rex
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

eat the salad, Rex
we’re all here for a nice dinner
with the Chinese it’s clear
latter complains won’t due
we’re here to make do
have a clue, have a clue, have a clue

we’re all going to tell the truth
the facts don’t matter
no matter how many people march in the streets
just do as I say

eat the salad, Rex
eat the salad, Rex
do as I say
do as I say

[bridge]
no one will believe you
no matter what you say
I’m going to gaslight you
until dawn breaks

eat the salad, Rex
it tastes so good
like it, like it like you should
I’ve told you want do
you’ll eat it if you know
what’s good for you

eat the salad, Rex
eat the salad, Rex
eat the salad, Rex

‘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
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

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
