Story behind the song
A funky jam-progessive-jazz-rock song about Trump.
A little over 10 minutes in length, but enough changes to keep things interesting.
As a fan of The Grateful Dead, I enjoyed their long progressive, jazzy rock jam songs. This song is a combination of styles, perhaps somewhere between Steely Dan and The Grateful Dead. (See the lyrics below)
Lyrics
Big shot
You can't get any higher
(You got) One Shot
To see if you can get it right
You lie
Inside your golden bedroom
You lie
And we feel that dreaded doom
You can't win all of the time
Especially when you got nothing to lose
Conning people is your favorite pastime
It's so easy when you turn lies into news
Swunky Trump
In your funky swamp land
Swunky Trump
It gets deeper every day
Don't funk it up
This is our homeland
Swunky Trump
We can't believe a word you say
Jump out
Of your orange skin
Watch out
Cause the Russians let you in
You know
We'll be watching every move
Let's go,
You've really got a lot to prove
You promised to drain that skunky swamp
But we're still hip deep in political funk
You promised change, but it feels like we're sunk
All we get are tweets from our cryptical Trump
Swunky Trump
In your funky swamp land
Swunky Trump
The sharks are circling round
Swunky Trump
We won't let you stand
If you funk it up
We will take you down
Bridge:
There are a dozen different ways
That you can ruin the planet
Don't turn that spark into a blaze
I doubt you even have a plan yet
Watch out
Your teflon might crack
Laugh now
You dig yourself deeper every day
Cash out
While the deck is still stacked
In your favor, but cheating is just how you play
It's not as easy as you thought it would be
Your little hands can't grasp it all
It's not like playing the boss on TV
How will you ever build that great big wall?
Swunky Trump
In your funky swamp land
Swunky Trump
You're sinking deeper every day
Don't funk it up
Because your giant grandstand
Is only made of paper mache'
Swunky Turmp
In your funky swamp land
Swunky Trump
We're on to your game
Don't funk it up
Things don't always go as planned
And you usually find that out the hard way.
REPEAT:
Swunky Trump
It gets deeper every day
Swunky Trump
Can't believe a word you say
