[Intro]
That’s cool
I got the DI
I didn’t do it yet
I got the DI
I didn’t do it yet
It’s to a click, Mark!
Alright, sweet
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Watch the gears grind off their teeth, the screeching halt machine
Digging heels in disbelief
Two reactional identities, opposing policies
A bait and switch routine
Double takes and double-speak
Still scripting the facade
Asphyxiate and choke the truth
All hail the money god
[Chorus]
Repeat, echo, refrain
It’s all the same, so deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence, we asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream
[Verse 2]
A coup d’état on full display, a liar’s sick charade
A traitor’s grand parade
Narcissistic masquerades for those without a say
Systematic disarray
Divide and conquer and close them in
And bury secrets deep
Make America hate again
And bleed the sheep to sleep
[Chorus]
Repeat, echo, refrain
It’s all the same, so deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence, we asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream
(Scream)
[Bridge]
You try to pick the lesser of
But evil doesn’t come in twos
Bellicose and Balkanized
A sinking ship of fools
So kiss the hangman as you drop
The rotting corpse of decency
Just another casualty of the American scream
Scream
The American scream
[Chorus]
Repeat, echo, refrain
It’s all the same, so deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence, we asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream
Never again
whew, another nodium dodged.

I swear if [undrafted] ends up on the podium I’m gonna throw a fit.

Mary Chapin Carpenter – American Stooge
Lyrics are fine, and I do hate me some Lindsay Graham. But musically, it’s a little dull, and that groove part at the end goes on way too long. Folky Americana isn’t really my thing at all, so it was going to have to be something special to do great here. It wasn’t, but I do appreciate the outside the box attempt.

Not sure who [undrafted] is, but I’d classify that likelihood as extremely low.

Of the remaining 9 songs, only 3 are from artists I had heard of before.

Is that a good or bad thing?
Any song that takes a dump on Lindsay Graham deserves a heart.

Not sure. Probably a good thing?
Just call me Mr. Outside the Box.

Lower Dens – Young Republicans
Lyrics are quite amusing. This was initially a few spots higher, but I kept moving it down because at the end of the day it’s just not that enjoyable to listen to. That’s not to say that I hate it (and it’s certainly possible to find dream pop that I like much more), but the competition starts to get tougher around this spot.

Zolita – Fight Like a Girl
A simple catchy pop song with an uplifting message for the women of the world. I liked it enough; it just wasn’t special enough to break out from the middle of the pack.

I’m guessing this is skydiver’s. Would be a little surprised for two reasons if not.

yup. I already said it was kind of a given.
There’s not one single man in the video.
Also, “can’t grab me by the…” lol

Rise Against – The Violence
This was the only song submitted that I had heard before. Initially sounds depressing (understandably), but has a few hopeful lines in the second verse. Musically, it’s average for Rise Against, which is pretty decent.

This was mine. I like Rise Against from way back when so they were one of the bands I looked into. Apparently this song was about the 2016 election, it’s not my favorite but I thought it was fitting.

Commute over. Still alive. This was my favourite entry, which pretty much locks me in to be next up i guess
