Ok, so, a production Friday, a freakin’ bear of a production Friday this one, shit just didn’t want to end, with numerous sprinkled “motherfuckers” for therapy and a headache all the way through it as my “close” PC work glasses and phone glasses are worrying me a little now as they have rather quickly become not so glasses effective and I’m having to stretch and squint. My upcoming yearly appointment with the eye doc can’t come quickly enough in a couple of weeks. But until then I worked beyond squinting headaches and took in my escape from the end of the workday, workweek to just sit imagining I have points to make.
Finished some lyrics during the week and with some revisions along the way while I was workin’ it I came up with something.
I’ve used this tune before, a couple of years ago, Frank Sinatra’s “High Hopes”, but thought a revisit.
“Woke Hopes (little dictator song)”.
Woke Hopes (little dictator song)
Next time you’re told
To be woke isn’t bold
By a Ronnie who scolds
Know he just trolls
—
Just what makes little dictator rant
About some things that he says ya just can’t
Eyes open to inclusion now
A weakness you can’t allow
—
But we’ve got woke hopes
We’ve got woke hopes
Hopes not turning blind eye to the “other” folks
But when you need a bigot’s screed
To tell you what truth’s to heed
Just remember his rant
Ohhhhh …
Ooops, there goes another Ronnie slam
How being hu-man is just another scam
Ooops, there goes the truth a now also ran
—
Ronnie now calls
To his herd of mind smalls
That they must all stand tall
Or think to brawls
—
Now Ronnie says CRT is just crap
Doesn’t fit his supremacist rap
His white kin they were ex-cep-tional
Racism don’t even track
—
Cause he’s denier of truth
With slaves country didn’t build roof
And if you say otherwise
Laws he’ll pass making rights go poof
—
So anytime you hear Ron speak
Know his white’s been tweaked
And he just won’t couch for that
Ohhhhh …
Ooops, there goes some more to demonize
Inclusive compassion that’s a bunch a lies
Ooops, here goes some hate to try on for size
(break)
Ron threatens anyone who don’t agree
With his hist’ry tree
Don’t be of them and not we
Ohhhhh …
Ooops. there goes another truth to turn
Ooops, there goes another book to burn
Ooops, there goes democracy to be spurned
Mm Mm
