A rhythmic and lyrical update for the Antisocial Waltz
light hearted lyrical sarcasm and original music inspired by a lifetime of accompanying a boatload of excellent musicians.
With the exception of Mango Chutneyed, everything posted here results from home recording in which alll the tunes posted are original compositions of mine, with performances on the various tracks also by me.
Story behind the song
Trump continues to be a national disaster
Lyrics
Not all of these are sung, but most are:
Now the Tea Party’s the Trump Party, making America grate
Now the Tea Party’s the Trump Party, perpetuators of hate (ChorusXXXX)
We love our guns and religion, they rank 1 and 2 on our lists
So we’ll keep on prayin’ and we’ll keep on slayin’, we’re rowdy anti-socialists
We admit today’s problems are complex, solving them takes a long time
A strict constitution’s no simple solution, but proof that we have simple minds
So what if you can’t pay your doctor, pre-existing conditions exist
If you’re wasting away that’s much better, we say, than surviving as a socialist
XXXX
When we don't get our way we just act out, we like our opponents to crawl
We don't pull our weight for the good of the state; we just want to build a dumb wall
We never liked regulations, at profits they whittle away
To burn fossil fuel is now suddenly cool, so we castrated the EPA
Garland was stuck in the middle, he’d never migrate to the right
But with Kavanaugh, we’re standing in awe, and he’s willing to drink beer that’s light
XXXX
Some say that the globe it is warming, more like a scientist’s prank
Or a Chinese hoax meant for gullible folks while we make our way to the bank
Our opponents are blantantly partisan, it’s not our intent to divide,
What we say isn’t true by we will be nice to you as long as you vote on our side
Compromise has no place in law making, winning’s a function of will
With petty pugnacity and lacking sagacity we’ve no sense of when we should chill-
XXXX
Entrepreneurs need their freedom, democrats need to get real
They thwart opportunity with utter impunity, and won’t let ‘em be free to steal
We’re here to lower the taxes both corporate and for the rich
While poor folks pay more and the deficit soars, they’re digging a millionaire’s ditch
Freedom is surely our anthem, we’ve come here to give it a voice
We love its flavor, it’s something to savor, unless you mean freedom of choice
XXXX
God gave us natural resources, hunting, it gives us a thrill
And we know that oil’s a help to the royal, that’s why we say “drill baby drill”
We love our guns and religion, they rank 1 and 2 on our lists
So we’ll keep on prayin’ and we’ll keep on slayin’, we’re rowdy anti-socialists*
