Songwriting challenge Week 4 (Blank Stare) 

This week's prompt; Blank Stare

I went back to the well on the political climate for this week.  It's a not very veiled shot at the divisiveness that's been sewn over the last many years.  I've waxed philosophic on that topic already so no need for me to ramble on there.

I went full demo on this one again with the Yurt Rock drum loops.  Once again I couldn't find an ending fill so this one ends with spoken word.  It's a choice… a good one?  The jury is still out. LOL

Instruments on this tune include my Vox organ, Gretsch guitar, and my 8 string Schecter bass

Lyrics

Head cocked like a dog

Mind is clogged

Conspiratorially slanted

Disenchanted

 

Facts don’t matter

Science ignored

Your bullshit splattered

Misinformation, constant roar

 

You never listen

Blank stare

You’re off your rocker

with your glass eyed glare

 

Your research consists

of confirmatory sources

supports your bias

It reinforces

 

Feelings over logic

Threats, atomic

Blindly demagogic

Your anger is chronic

 

You never listen

Blank stare

You’re off your rocker

With a glass eyed glare

World view skewed

Unaware

Functionally unglued

Blank stare

 

You never listen

Blank stare

You never listen

Blank stare
