Inauguration Playlist

It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)

 

Na na na na kiss him good-bye

 

"Duchess" - Genesis

"Times were good,
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
Oh but she really cared
About her music, it all seemed so important then,

And she dreamed that every time that she performed
Everyone would cry for more,
That all she had to do was step into the light,
And everyone would start to roar.

And on the road,
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge,
She battled through
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds.

But now everytime that she performed
Oh everybody cried for more,
Soon all she had to do was step into the light,
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for.

Oh but time went by
It wasn't so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong.
Yes times were hard,
Too much thinking 'bout the future and what people might want.

An then there was the time that she performed
When nobody called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light,
They really let her know the score.
But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
And everybody cried for more,
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, you're the one we've waited for."

(Yes, Trump is a Subhuman Pile of Crime, not a female entertainer. Larger point - i.e., downfall - applies.)

 

Lilly Allen, F*** You

Look inside
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired
So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor
So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well, I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So, please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So, please don't stay in touch

Do you get
Do you get a little kick out of being small-minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after
Well, that's not how you find it
Do you
Do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?

DISCLAIMER: Twice in the months leading up to the election, I pulled up to one of those parking lot pop-up stands selling Trump flags and MAGA hats, parked right next to it, rolled down all my windows and blasted this song. And let it repeat a few times.

 

"Ding, dong, the witch is dead."

 

My neighbors will be hearing this at absurd volume at 12:01 pm Jan. 20:

 

I’ll take the Hank version.

 

My Trumpist family members were SO excited when trump danced to the Sinatra version.

as for my song wish list:

welcome back by John Sebastian. The lyrics fit.
