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

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

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

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

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

This is a political homage to Pearl Jam’s “Black.” This is about the election of Donald Trump as president.

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

the night creeped forward
we had no idea what to expect
but the Comey letter had its affect
not we’re dealing with a dream
a nightmare really
that’s lasted for months now
when will it end
when will it end

we’re going to wake up one day
we all know it’s true
our love for country is too strong
this can’t go on forever
we can only hope that something will change
sooner rather than later

when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp
when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp

there doesn’t seem to be any hope now
the walls are closing in
closing in, closing in
but we can only hope for a change
Mueller’s team is on the case
when will they arrive
I scream into the night

the darkness of this nightmare
seems forever
seems like it won’t ever break
seems like the day will never come
but we have to believe it will

when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp
when will we wake up from this nightmare
that’s what I ask
when will we wake up from this nightmare
I gasp

[bridge]
what happens next
is anyone’s guess
what if we learn the truth
and we just shrug
what will happen then
is there any hope?

we have to be strong
we have to believe
that there’s a chance
a chance in three
that Lady Liberty will rise again
rise again and be free

The music to this would be a homage to U2’s Love Is Blindness. Again, I’m just screwing around. I’m in the mood to tell stories in verse, so you get this. This should fade soon enough.

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

thoughts and prayers
come and go don’t you know
they don’t mean anything anymore
they just stop progress it seems
they make it more difficult for us
more difficult for us to act

thoughts and prayers
there’s not much they can do
we’re all animals locked in a zoo
the powers that be
make us feel like sheep
when yet another child is struck dead
from a weapon bought by a manman
legally, legally, legally, legally

thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
how do we stop the next killing
when all we do is offer, offer, offer
thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers

we need to act
need to do something for once
we have to believe in love
give hate a shove
our politicians are bought and paid for
it seems
when will we glean the truth
bring truth the sundlight
give us hope that is bright

thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
how do we stop the next killing
when all we do is offer, offer, offer
thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers

[bridge]
just give me some hope
give me a chance
that this isn’t our last gasp
let’s grasp hope for once
and do more than offer
thoughts and prayers

we’re all in this together
you know it’s true
why can we move past
move past for once
thoughts and payers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
