The Story of a Resistance Song

Hear the song here: https://youtu.be/a1E3ophPVfE?si=mYm1WuUEIWiXctFV

I was driving home from the State College, Pa. airport when this song came to me. It was pre-dawn on Sunday, December 14. I was driving down I-99 in a typical, overcast, winter, Pennsylvania snowstorm and to keep from nodding off I was listening to the news on the radio. Every story that came on just sucked. Every day it's like this. Rotten news every goddamn day. People being dragged off the streets. Political corruption and grift to a numbingly obvious amount. Enormous fights about the price of medicine. I suppose they (whoever THEY are) want us all to be quiet or just throw up our hands and quit. Sit there and be a nice consumer. I'm sick of this shit. It wears you down. But me? I fight back. The song practically wrote itself. By the time I got home it was becoming a new day and I wrote down my thoughts just like you can read them here or along with the YouTube static video I posted. I jammed my lyrics into an evil A.I. generator and got a half dozen versions of a Mid-70s sounding Album Oriented Rock deep-cut. And THIS is my answer to this sick society right now. I managed to figure out how to make a YouTube video of just an mp3 audio file. I figured out how to marry artwork to the file so you had a nice thumbnail. I found out I already had a kind of YouTube channel of my own. That was news. I have three subscribers, it seems. I'm probably one of them. Anyway. I made a song and I'm sure my poems and song writing have already lost me enough "friends" that it doesn't matter anymore. But I just got fed up. With everything. You can hear the song, because my WIX site either doesn't allow me to put up my own videos or I can't figure out how, here: https://youtu.be/a1E3ophPVfE?si=mYm1WuUEIWiXctFV .

SUCK by s.k. inlow (me)

The president fucking sucks

Those who still support him suck

Those who collaborate suck

Those who enable him suck

Insurance companies suck

Big pharma and health plans suck

The costs of medicine suck

Everybody make a buck

*I guess we’re all a bunch of suckers

Corporate cheats and grifters and fuckers

Meta pigs and Elon Muckers

Heritage Foundation cuckers

Fox News really fucking sucks

Rupert Murdoch really sucks

Karoline Leavitt just sucks

Jared Kushner fucking sucks

Q-Anon people really suck

Dumber than a flock of ducks

Thicker than a hockey puck

Sitting in their pick-up trucks

* I guess we’re all a bunch of suckers

Corporate cheats and grifters and fuckers

Meta pigs and Elon Muckers

Heritage Foundation cuckers

- lead break-

Nixon made the HMO

Have some processed crap to eat

Freedom come and freedom go

Leave your number at the beep

Destitution down below

Tired eyes and still can’t sleep

Golden hair and Q-halo

Man, the shit is getting deep

The president fucking sucks

Those who still support him suck

Those who collaborate suck

Those who enable him suck

Insurance companies suck

Big pharma and health plans suck

The costs of medicine suck

Everybody make a buck

*I guess we’re all a bunch of suckers

Corporate cheats and grifters and fuckers

Meta pigs and Elon Muckers

Heritage Foundation cuckers I've already been told by someone I don't know that I suck. Didn't see that one coming. That's ok. But if you are with me, and I feel like most people SHOULD be by now, please feel free to share this song wherever it can go. I know it can't go on the radio because of the f-bombs. But, as the only living ANTIFA that I know, at least the ONLY bombs I'm throwing are of the "f" variety. Much love to all. Thanks for all you do to make our society kinder and more loving. Maybe this song can pry a couple leaches off the carcass of this democracy, but I'm not holding my breath.
