Just a few weeks ago I got a notification at Facebook of being tagged. It was a tag to a posting of a link to Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish”. Seems the hearing of that song has always reminded a them of a me and our fond days of inhabiting a place called “Monico’s” in Pittsburgh back in the early 90’s. A Rock ‘N’ Roll bar I bartended at part time around my radio schedule at WDVE back then. I responded back that I could still see myself playing the “air horns”, elbows up and dancing back and forth behind the bar, as if in choreographed unison with some unseen other members of the horn section, ignoring all drink orders until the song and my horns and imaginary bandmates were done.
It got me to thinking though. Could I maybe sing along with this one with some new lyrics as I’ve done quite a few times in the last couple of years deservedly skewering Great Leader/former great leader, the orange one, with some other tunes? Maybe a little something about our current state of surreal affairs?
Yeah, I think I could.
“What? You want a beer? Sorry, you’re just going to have to wait … hell, just milk it will ya? … I don’t give a fuck about your warm backwash … just wait … can’t ya see I’m air hornin’ and dancin’ and singin’ about some bat shit insanity?”
Dark Days (they wish)
Looking back on lost years and an orange headed lyin’ boy
Whose one and only con-cern was power and just how earn from ploy
We watched and listened sadly, the starkness of the thing
That had support too many, discipled GOP
—
Truth went out the window, propaganda became the truth de jour
Echoed many sides now, podiums to pundits even went on tour
The press tried too late stem tide, point out all the lies
But they opened up that window, just tryin’ now save hides
—
They were dark days … you’d … think we’d want no more
Some truly sad … days … attack norms at the core
But some still want … those … days to darken doors
Now hold se-di-tious dreams, yeah, they hold a torch
They hold a torch
—
The time came to be counted, a real count not a one that aimed at steal
Enough of us did stand up, a threat was posed and seen saw to be real
But even then some hundred plus signed on to a deal
To stand with former power mad with fraud as the new spiel
—
That led to insurrection, encouraged violence for a new rule
With help also from inside who even took some to tour of new school
Useful idi-ots follow dumb as useful tools
The Gaetz, Hawley’s, McCarthy’s fools who know the fools
—
They were dark days … you’d … think they’d want no more
Some truly sad … days … attack norms at the core
But some still want … those … days to darken doors
Now hold se-di-tions dreams, yeah they hold a torch
They hold a torch
