If I see you IRL, you get a coaster you can pretend is a CD on your coffee table.

New song by @shannonmchargsongs.bsky.social

This is the story of a federal employee who is from an immigrant family. She went through a lot of trauma and drama with being fired and unfired all while her son was being questioned about his citizenship.

Verse 6
The oligarchs
Are gloating on Noah’s Ark
Pleasing the monarch
Forget the anarchs
Democracy
Is dying for you and me
That’s how they want it to be
Keep us in the dark in our trailer parks

Shannon McHarg Songwriter @shannonmchargsongs.bsky.social · 13d

Verse 5
The bigoted
Are uninhibited
Hate is distributed
Forget immigrants
Supremacy
Is coming for you and me
We’re no longer free
We’re terror-stricken, must keep hidden

Verse 4
The big bad boss
Is making a double cross
Profiting from our loss
Forget the human cost
ChatGPT
Is coming for you and me
Robots work cheaply
We’re casting lots with the albatross

Verse 3
The billionaires
Won't fund healthcare
Rely on thoughts and prayers
Forget our welfare
Each new disease
Is coming for you and me
Don't have a warranty
We’re in despair with our bodies threadbare

Verse 2
The autocrats
Are raising every tax
Firing the bureaucrats
Forget diplomats
The passed on fees
Are coming for you and me
Can't afford cups of tea
We're knocked on our backs in second class

Verse 1
The oligarchs
Are floating on Noah's Ark
There's only room for sharks
Forget the aardvarks
The rising seas
Are coming for you and me
Won't be no olive tree
We're here in the dark in our trailer parks
