Hello good people
This is my first post so here’s wishing for beginner’s luck.
Below are the lyrics for a song in search of some critical feedback, pulsating music, a superstar singer, world wide sales, and a Grammy but I’ll settle for any helpful advice you can spare.
It is a song about me/us and Donald Trump.
There is one word in the second line which might be viewed as offensive and the third of four letters has been replaced by an asterisk as follows: sh*t.
So here goes.
American Apples
He’s got a White House but he don’t like it.
He’s got a tax return but we don’t see sh*t.
And he’s got a foundation that don’t make donations
He’s forgotten the forgotten; and there’s more
He’s got friends in cyberspace, bribes in a briefcase,
hustlers in the workplace, opponents on a database.
And there’s more; he ain’t got class.
Chorus
And when he goes high
about the size
of his ratings, his assets, his brain,
his vocabulary, his hands ..
Well we know better and we go low.
Me, I’ve got a mortgage and I choose
To pay my taxes, pay my dues.
And, when I get good fortune, I give back a portion
He says a winner takes all, but we losers have more.
We got decency, morality, honesty, civility,
Fidelity, propriety, humanity, humility.
And there’s more; we got class.
Chorus
He don’t get climate change, don’t get diversity,
Don’t get fallibility, had his own university. (not)
And he don’t read books save for chapter eleven.
He don’t get the don’ts ‘n’ the don’t knows, and there’s more.
He’s got movies in the bookcase, orange on a paleface,
buds in the master race, tweets in the upper case.
And there’s more; he ain’t got class.
Chorus
Me, I’ve got a future, and I don’t refuse
to believe in science, and then I choose.
And, I believe in uncertainty guarding our liberty.
He says he has all the answers, but we “don’t knows “ want more.
We want sanity, integrity, reality, veracity,
Rationality, causality, total factuality.
And there’s more; we want class
Chorus
How do you like them apples, Donald?
