1. we're shitting bricks we're spitting mad we're restless and exhausted we're grateful but so sad you worship money cash is your church and your god's the easter bunny if rent's due on the first CH you're corrupt just look at the destruction you never gave a fuck about us don't you come back no more hit the road jack put your money stacks in the body bags don't ya come back no more 2. i post my privileged protest from the unemployment line do you like my brand new soapbox i got it on amazon prime contagious convenience continuous corporate news freedom turns to greed cause if you're poor or your brown you don't get to choose CH br. maybe it's too late and we got it cause we asked for it baby here's your hell in a trump-branded casket or maybe we are right on time with fresh air to breathe and we'll build something much better if you just fucking leave CH

1. since shelter in place got nothing in the bank stopped touching my face (mmm), and stay six feet away (mmm) i take my time with tasks all my friends are sewing masks my plans all got replaced with sanitizing every space but i keep on clinging to my musical upbringing hoping all this singing in your screen will help it be alright CH we just gotta put each other first and stay at home so it don’t get any worse keep thanking all the folks who are hard at work so it tapers off tapers off don’t spend all your time getting mad on twitter pick up a pen and write your senator or pop your head in on a struggling neighbor til it tapers off tapers off 2. i never miss a Zoom, i sterilized my broom but sometimes the doom and gloom (mmm) keeps me stuck inside my room (mmm) you’re not in this alone just make the moves up as you go be good to folks you know and even the ones you don’t but just remember you’re your own defender not just in November people have the power to make everything alright CH *some lines from this song are pulled from Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic as reference/wink to the book. How to Be a Winner When You Lose was a song prompt from Eagles Songwriter Jack Tempchin Verse: D C Bm A Chorus: D A G A // G A D C Bm G A it's not like i was asking loss to be my best friend but she stuck around when the chips were down i've always found her at the bitter end it's not like i've forgotten where the doors are or how to knock them i quite like the sound of the pavement pounding underneath the steps of my ambition i wanted big magic the kind of life that shoots across the sky lighting up the dark i've got this book of matches wet with regret, splintered with time and I can't find the spark seems like big magic's only big hat trick is to go when she knows you blew a fuse she'll leave you sitting in the dim learning how to be a winner when you lose it's not like I'm complaining about the waxing and the waning i prefer the rise and fall of a curve ball i'm always honored by her visitation it's not like i am choiceless or powerless or voiceless but i feel so weak, it gets hard to speak in the ruthless furnace of expectation *written to the tune of “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid i guess it's trump, what a crushing defeat can't believe he's allowed in the president's seat can't everyone see he's an ass - an ass who hates everything? look at his team, dangers untold how many disasters can one cabinet hold? somebody pass me a drink, at this point i’ll drink anything he hates brown people, gays, the disabled he hates women and science and more i was sure no one thought he was able i was wrong, now I'm scared, of what's in store i wanna be where the sheeple aren't i wanna see humanity advancing exercising your, what do you call it? oh - brain grabbing pussies got trump this far not paying taxes or his employees bragging about, what's that word again? rape sexual assault is not fucking fun, just ask his victims, every last one the jock gets away and the best we can say: rape's just part of our world what would i give if i could live where people were smarter? not pray away gay, or get in the way of a parenthood planned don't you understand this is a man who has objectified his daughter? still there are women who voted him in, it's unreal as his tan i'm not ready to reap what the people sow we've got some questions, let's find the answers starting with lessons we've already, i don't know…learned when's it our turn? we know what we need: to live in a land ruled by love and not greed out of the debris, how about you and me take charge of our world? *verses co-written with Veronica May (chorus/bridge partial cover of Snoop Dogg/Pharell song of the same name)
starting out it was the shot heard round the world a committed lady going after a noncommittal girl but then time, time finally took its toll life was the objective and love was the goal and then i said... you're beautiful, i just want you to know, you're my favorite girl finally settled down and things got better consider this song a little love letter it's like a whole new life now that you're in it baby be my wife, and let's begin it i just wanted you to know that you are really special |
