Skirmish: Cold Enough For You? (@metalfoot)Liner Notes
Honestly, I really, really tried to skirmish on something other than politics. But, apparently my Derangement Syndrome is rampaging. (Let's hope there's treatment for that..). Lyrics at the buzzer, music to follow. #political #protest
Lyrics
COLD ENOUGH FOR YOU? c. 2025 raspberry33
VERSE 1: I have a mandate, you gave it to me Let’s divorce reason from policy Freeze federal spending pending review It’s all about me, and not about you And if you’re out of a job….well too bad! Is that cold enough for you?
VERSE 2: Declare emergencies that don’t exist FBI agents can all be dismissed Do not complain, that’ll never be wise Sports are for girls, not guys in disguise And if you’ve lost some rights…well too bad! Is that cold enough for you!
CHORUS: I’m the snake that Aesop warned you about And I was freezing in the snow You came, you rescued, invited me back Sit back, and chill to my show Because ratings are all that matter Is that cold enough for you?
VERSE 3: You don’t look American, you differ from me Prove that you’re legal, not a refugee I could deport you for just looking brown Now that I’ve traded my soul for a crown Crops staying unpicked in fields…too bad Is that cold enough for you
BRIDGE: I like it cold, but real-estate interests Tell me Gaza is the next big thing Just relocate families who’ve lived there for centuries Let’s get it done by Spring I need the ratings!
VERSE 4: I have my heroes, spread rather thinly My idol’s the tariff king, William McKinley Overseas conquests, imperial power Greenland and Panama we will devour United Nations will not say a word Is that cold enough for you?
CHORUS and out

Thought it was really witty how you opened the ball on the "cold enough for you" skirmish with a spending freeze! Thinly/ McKinley is an inspired rhyme.

‘And an end to all wars’ is that cold enough for you? Another insightful choon.

Not only is this awesome musically, you did a killer job of diving into the narrator’s head. Super powerful and vivid.

Great references and a powerful write. Lots of appropriate indignation in this one. Should be great set to music.

Ouch! I love all the political songs this year, Woody Guthrie would approve! You really nailed it with those one.

Love the Aesop reference! Strong social/political commentary. Good take on the theme.

Yes, this has made a cold winter even colder. And that cold has no thermal jacket.

Some good vividness in this write and in interesting line with some current situations/players, @raspberry33 . Fun song and delivery in order to speak your truth, trying to get your points across in an entertaining way. Clever skirmish cold theme worked into politics.
