Steemit Open Mic week 70.
It was a beautiful day at the river with my friends @melodyrussell, @jasonrussell, and @hethur240. Music had to happen.
Here is my entry:
I only messed up the lyrics slightly....
Through the best of times,
Through the worst of times,
Through Nixon and through Bush,
Do you remember '36?
We went our seperate ways.
You fought for Stalin.
I fought for freedom.
You believe in authority.
I believe in myself.
I'm a molotov cocktail.
You're Dom Perignon.
Baby, what's that confused look in your eyes?
What I'm trying to say is that
I burn down buildings
While you sit on a shelf inside of them.
You call the cops
On the looters and piethrowers.
They call it class war,
I call it co-conspirators.
'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist,
You're a spineless liberal.
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle,
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window,
You left me all alone.
You watched in awe at the red,
White, and blue on the fourth of july.
While those fireworks were exploding,
I was burning that fucker
And stringing my black flag high,
Eating the peanuts
That the parties have tossed you
In the back seat of your father's new Ford.
You believe in the ballot,
Believe in reform.
You have faith in the elephant and jackass,
And to you, solidarity's a four-letter word.
We're all hypocrites,
But you're a patriot.
You thought I was only joking
When I screamed "Kill Whitey!"
At the top of my lungs
At the cops in their cars
And the men in their suits.
No, I won't take your hand
And marry the State.
'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist,
You're a spineless liberal.
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle,
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window,
You left me all alone.
Good one!!! And a beautiful background for a beautiful lady and song!

Glad you were able to squeeze in a song at the river before you guys had to hit the road! It was so nice to go chill by the water for a couple hours with you guys :)

I agree. And a beautiful day! I miss the river so much! I can't wait for spring and all of the beautiful leaves/greenery and flowers. It definitely makes the river a magical place. Those bluffs make everything sound so wonderful! Thanks for going out to the river with us!!!! Love you!

thank you @soundlegion! I really appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen! It was a beautiful day by the river, so I had to go up to the car and grab the ol' guit-fiddle. Thankfully, my friend @jasonrussell was able to get a great sounding video for me!
