Week 48 of the 2019 song-a-week challenge. The theme this week was "revolution". Lyrically, I riffed pretty heavily off of Youth Against Fascism by Sonic Youth.
HATE THAT SONG
Another storm of shit
A sieg heil-in’ president
Still banging the same old gong
I still hate that song
Good people on both sides
Y’all are pretty much hypnotized
27 years on
I still hate that song
I hate that song
When your white bread turns to toast
Your dark days will never give up the ghost
But nothing matters when everyone’s wrong
I still hate that song
I’ll say it ‘til my throat is sore
I believe Kristine Blasey Ford
But I bet they give that judge a fucking award
I still hate that song
I hate that song
And while you twiddle thumbs
Waiting around for a revolution
Your kids punch nazis for fun
I kinda like that song
The arrangements are complex and engaging, almost every song has a bridge that pulls you sideways in the best way, the lyrics are often simultaneously emotional and hilarious, and the strings, my God! John Brownell
