I was invited to play at a local club for brunch with a lot of other songwriters and realized that my songwriting is not nearly as prolific as it was prior to all this dissention everywhere. Last night, I wrote this little ditty to play there, it is a brunch after-all...that's sort of a combination of breakfast and lunch with bloody Marys that has replaced two meals working people do for those that still live in their parent's basement and such... Down at the pool hall playing 8-ball with an old friend I haven't seen in a while\ Drinking long-necks, smoking other people's cigarettes and telling dirty jokes that make me smile. Put some change in the juke-box, the band was on break and they really suck, a round of shots hit the spot I mind my own business, it just is what it is, but man that woman looked hot. She was wearing hot-pants, she asked me to dance, I could read between the lines So we got in my pick-up, couldn't believe my bad luck, She had a penis and it was bigger than mine. Transgender is a mind bender that I don't understand A beautiful woman that's actually a man... She had all the features I've come to admire but that second Mr. Happy just put out the fire. I'd like to tell you just how this story ends cause I ain't seen my friend in a while Ain't been back to the pool hall, don't want to play 8-ball and dirty jokes no longer make me smile. I learned quite a lesson so it was really a blessing, I guess she really opened my eyes. I suppose I am confessing some things don't need messing with, especially that kind of surprise... So if you ever find yourself with someone else and in that awkward spot... damn your luck, just get out of the truck, It will never be forgot. Trans-gender is a mind bender that I don't understand Why would a woman need a penis if she's really a man? She has everything a man could need or desire but that second Mr. Happy just put out the fire.
Well, I just got a call from the management at this 'Songwriter's" thing, telling me I couldn't play that song because they were expecting a lot of "Church" people to show up. I really think that anyone that would take their children straight from church to a bar for a late breakfast would have enough sense of humor to laugh at a funny song. I might go and support some of the other writers but I will not be performing, as this violates everything I believe in about the creative process.
Getting a lot of "accept it" flack from some of the songwriter's forums so I'll quote Dave Chappelle here, "You can shoot a nigger and get away with it, but you better not hurt a Queer's feelings..."
People going straight from a church to a bar and bringing their children - not exactly the kind of church-goers I grew up with. Being present in a den of iniquity where alcohol of the drinking variety was consumed or stored could be considered a sin. One sip of bourbon and it was the Lake of Fire for you!
Maybe I should try this one? The headline from Mother-Earth News says God is just my Baby-daddy He don’t come around when I need help, that’s why things turn out badly I work three jobs to feed my kids and keep them all in clothes New Nike shoes and a covid mask to protect them from the cold I don’t hear much talk about “Freedom” any more Liberty is a thing from the past. There were not enough farmers left to turn plows into swords And Freedom could not last I don’t hear much talk about love anymore Just shit about significant others I don’t hear much about the strength of Family We don’t stand beside our brothers They want to change this country’s papers, and rearrange all the words The Liberty Bell rang loudly but nobody really heard The headline from Mother-Earth News says God is just my Baby-daddy He don’t come around when I need help, that’s why things turn out badly
