‘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

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

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

‘And A Child Shall Lead Them’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Anti-Gun Protest Song

No one cares about anything I write, but I find writing song lyrics every once in a while relaxing. So, this would be a Radiohead type song but with very pointed and bang-you-over-the-head anti-gun lyrics. The lyrics are about how maybe, just maybe, things have changed because of the efforts of the Parkland children. We can only hope.

And A Child Shall Lead Them
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

in a crisis I don’t act
I plan my counter attack
adults act like children
playing their petty, petty games
paid for in the blood of innocents
all we can hope for is the truth
laid out in the good book

and a child shall lead them
is what they say
and a child shall lead them
we can only pray

they NRA claims the legacy press
lusts for more blood for its ink
we all know that’s bullshit
something we can call
like a cat in heat
on a hot summer day
in the end all that’s left
is what the good book says

and a child shall lead them
is what they say
and a child shall lead them
we can only pray

[bridge]
we’re all going to fight
unite, unite, unite
until things change
we won’t complain

and a child shall lead them
is what they say
and a child shall lead them
we can only pray

‘To Dana Loesch With Love’ — #Lyrics To An Angry Anti-Gun Pop Song

This is supposed to be extremely ironic. The music for this would be similar to To Sir With Love. It would be interrupted occasionally by gunfire. These lyrics did not turn out very well. I think I’m too angry to be poetic.

To Dana Loesch With Love
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

that day of hiding under my desk in fear
has come and gone
but you now say I’m a crisis actor
exploited by the legacy press
looking for blood
all I can say is
to Dana Loesch with love

I watch you on my screen
with a scary scowl on your face
you’re hate personified I’m afraid
you taught me right from wrong
simply by watching you howel

if you told me to go to hell
I’d know it was the place for me
you’re as hateful as they come
if you told me to fuck off
it’d be an honor that’s for sure

the dystopian vision you feed your sheep
is enough to make me vomit
but there’s not enough gold in the world
for me to do as you say you hateful bitch
please shut up and vanish from the earth

if you told me to go to hell
I’d know it was the place for me
you’re as hateful as they come
if you told me to fuck off
it’d be an honor that’s for sure

[bridge]
Dana you shrew
don’t know what I’m going to do
wish you’d just go away
never to be heard from again

now I have to rebuild my life
the pain you have caused me is almost too much to bear
but I’ll get over it, I swear

‘Here Kitty’ — Lyrics To A Funky Pop Song

I find myself inspired by Janelle Monae’s great song Make Me Feel. It’s very much inspired by Prince. But anyway, I feel like writing about trying to woo a woman in lyrics. No one cares about anything I write, so you get this.

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

see you walk on by
your presence makes me sigh
visions of touching your side
fill me with desire
but I can’t get even a hi

things keep going on and on
nothing seems to change
no matter how much I complain
all I ask is a little of your time
and that you come when I say

here kitty
here kitty
come and get it
here kitty
here kitty

girls come and go
don’t you know, don’t you know
but something about you shines
makes me smile at your thought
but what roles may occur
late at night with only the moon
to light our way
is anyone’s guess I feel
let me call again

here kitty
here kitty
come and get it
here kitty
here kitty

[bridge]
here’s so much I want to say
but I worry you’ll run away
just the mention of your name
is enough to ease the pain

all I want is your warmth
close to me but I fear
you’ll run away
no matter how much I cry

here kitty
here kitty
here kitty
here kitty
