So Then Sunday: Don’t Go Back To Trumpville (song)

Because there may not be much time before we are singled out and sent away as example of a lack of unity and non-fealty, or possibly be felled out of tall Russian windows I thought I would “So Then Sunday” this one while I can.

From back in December.

To R.E.M.’s “Don’t Go Back To Rockville”

Don’t Go Back To Trumpville

Looking at old hell a new time

Wonderin’ what we’ve done to be so cursed

In the possibility that

The Orange Devil could usher somethin’ worse

Only this time with an even darker promise

With vengeance in his blackened heart

.

He’ll persecute and prosecute

The order of which won’t matter when he’s done

Retribution will be his rally cry

To punish one and all  

And any who don’t comply

And offer fealty on bended knee

With bowed heads kissed rings even fresh lipstick

.

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste Democracy

.

At night he drinks himself to sleep

Of despot dreams jack booting in his head

He envies Xi and surely Vlad

Even Benito and now new Nazi Klan

Who find in him their great leader to follow

With violence waiting on a call

.

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste our future years

.

Some though feel that there’s no need to worry

Head in sand they see no real ur-gency

But anyone who’s not head under ground knows the danger that is found

In another orange presidency

It’s not the way to protect our liberty

And our too weak now Democracy

.

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste our future years

.

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste Democracy

    1. Well anything equating, sadly, to 1984, is high praise. It’s been a thing of mine for quite some time D. Knowing that no one is going to read my straight up shit I thought to instead put my thoughts and angers to tune, maybe a foot tapped and head bopped might get a bit more notice. Probably not but the attempt? All that matters. Though this one is old it still works for the most part.
