Bushranger

Magdalen · Jul 26, 2007

He was a bushranger
A backwoods, backwards man
He was a bushranger
An outlaw American
He was a bushranger
Can I make you understand
That bushwacking, bushleague bastard
Just ain’t my kind of man.

He should have listened to his Pa
Instead of messing with the law
Of the land
He could’ve fooled me once, the shill
But he kept pushing me until
I must stand
And declare we institutionalize
The dolt won’t be constitutionalized
Take my hand
Together we can fill the breach
A fruitful plan, we must impeach!

He was a bushranger
A backwoods, backwards man
He was a bushranger
An outlaw American
He was a bushranger
Can I make you understand
That bushwacking, bushleague bastard
Just ain’t my kind of man.

In my mind, this little ditty is quite melodic. "bushraan-gerrrr"

So close to yours, which is great, I couldn't resist, wrote it the day after it started.

COWBOY

Cowboy stands in the dusty street,
Full of his cowboy pride.
Cowboy down at the end of the road
Says God is on his side.

Who knows what the fight’s about?
Who was the first to call?
Who’ll be the one to walk away?
Who’ll be the one to fall?

Town’s too small for the both of us
Under the Western sun.
Cowboy law is luck of the draw,
We solve our problems with a gun.

It’s too bad, you weepin’ widow,
Sorry the kids will grieve,
I had to call him out, ya know,
An ace was up his sleeve.

If it looks like he might be trouble,
This new guy come to town,
Just pray to God and draw yer rod
And take the varmint down.

So tell us Mr. Pres-i-dent,
Who do we hate today?
With flags unfurled, we’ll show the world,
And blow those guys away.

It’s too bad, you weepin’ widows,
Too bad for your children, too.
We had to take him out, you know,
He might have a bomb or two.

World’s too small for the both of us
Under the Western sun.
Cowboy law is luck of the draw,
We solve our problems with a gun.

Bushderangement Syndrome

I have lost all perspective on reality
My coat is stronger than my mentality
I believe 9/11 was a conspiracy
And that Bush blew up the levees

Derrrrrannnnngment....I have no sense at all
Derrrrrannnnngment....My brain don't work no mo

I'm crazy
I'm angry
I have a fever burning inside me

I'm tired
I'm lost now
BDS has sapped all my mojo.

I got BDS.
Who got BDS?
I got BDS.
You got BDS?

You down with BDS?

REPEAT with frothing mouth on last chorus

Oberon! Good one! Our times require more protest songs, and this must be the place to post 'em. I especially liked

So tell us Mr. Pres-i-dent,
Who do we hate today?

Where is the audio that the mods have been promising? Then you could sing it.

Billy!! Nice try, but IMHO it needs work.

Thanks,Magdalen. Someday I'll figure out how this place works so I will know who is doing what, and why can't I remember where I have posted stuff?

But don't ask me to sing it, it's one of my songs I haven't worked out music for (for which I have not worked out the music, if you must).
