Behind the Song - Halloween Since 2016 (boo)

As we approached Halloween and the midterm elections, I had this thought in my head about how it's felt like Halloween since Trump got elected...just kinda feels like the country's been circling the drain for the past 2 years. I just chuckled and thought it'd make a silly spoof song, but didn't actually write and record it til the administration started bullying the trans community and pipe bombs started going out in the mail addressed to prominent Democrats. Right after I posted this some American terrorist murdered a bunch of elderly Jews in a synagogue. Like I said, scary fucking times. Which is why, even though this is a spoof, I don't look like I'm having very much fun. 

To the tune of "Lil' Red Riding Hood" by Sam Sham & The Pharaohs.

Lyrics:
it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about doom & gloom when you can't afford the emergency room
and you're terrified w/ chills cause your wages won't pay the bills
what big lies they tell
i'd rather live at the bates motel
than watch my country slip away
to the nra & the kkk
what big hypocrites
getting rich for the apocalypse
i gotta say, it's a scary day
now that putting kids in cages is the christian way
it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about horrifying putting predators in power and ignoring science
when every fox news line sends a shiver up & down my spine (boo)
what big lies they have
i'd rather jason chase me in a hockey mask
than watch rights get stripped away
for brown, trans, female, homeless, poor, or gay
what big hypocrites
placing blame on the journalists
aspiring to be like our enemies
& conspiring to murder our democracy
it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
here's what we're gonna do listen up now i'm talking to you
this red's gonna kill us dead so please vote blue
