A long, long time ago
I can still remember how my freedom used to make me smile
And I knew well I had my chance
and I could work hard and advance
And maybe I’d be happy for a while
But Twenty twenty made me shiver
With all the info delivered
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
Daily reading about this wild ride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the freedom died
So bye, bye, Watch America Die
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you read the books Orwell
And the visions he did foretell
of how our future would go?
Now can you believe it’s all come true?
Is there a way to save me and you?
and can you teach me how to fight this show ?
Well, I know that they’re in love with him
'Cause I saw how they fellated him on CNN
They all had nothing to lose
Man, the lack of laws just gives me the blues
Back in the day we were teenage broncin' bucks
Working hard not giving a fuck
We didn’t know we’d be out of luck
The day the freedom died
I started singing bye, bye, Watch America Die
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
Singin' this'll be the day freedom died
This'll be the day freedom died
I ran out of time. The Salt mine awaits. To be continued...........
Dude!
ReplyDeleteThat is an instant classic!
No, it's not dead.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be back. We've been through worse and the Demos are so incompetent, they can't even trust their own legions. Add to that the slugs who will be trying to dictate our lives, and you have a very volatile mix.
Sad, but most likely to come true in coming months. On another note Irish, you've got real talent as a writer. I know this is a modification of someone else's original work, as have some other recent pieces been. But, U B Killin' it!!! Now, if you can just figure out hoe to incorporate expressions like "John has a red mustache", we'll be set. ;^))
ReplyDeleteThe Great American Gut Check begins.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a primer on just what that may look like read this piece by Glen Geenwald. I don't particularly care for Greenwald's stance on a lot of things, but he is and has been a champion of liberty his whole career.
