Feb 2022 girl-with-guitar pop-punk protest
Something (that has to do with living and working in a "right wing" anti-education racist-heavy part of Pennsylvania) set me off yesterday. The open embracing of ignorance and the shirking of responsibility to community, the environment really pissed me off. Since I moved last year, I've become somewhat insulated from this vibe, and rarely feel like someone's going to run me off the road in a big RAM truck all covered in bullet-flag stickers.
In case there is ANY doubt: I am pro vaccine. Pro science.
Science Bad. Freedom Good

Science bad. Freedom good.
Me be mad. Me chop wood.
Reading bad. TV good.
Me be mad. Me chop wood.
Vaccine bad. Freedom good.
Me be mad. Me chop wood.
Left is wrong. Right is right.
Me have gun. Me can fight.
Me is sick. Me will die.
Freedom, freedom. Me will fight.
Science bad. Freedom good.
Me be mad. Me chop wood.

Glad you didn't waste too many words, or notes, in depicting this character.
Still, one two many notes for the One Note Challenge.

Ahahahaha, oh, man. Thank you for this.

It sounds like you are in that phase of FAWM where you are just finding it all inside of you. I love the pulsing guitar here and the way you use repetition throughout. Powerful stuff.
@stephubik Feb 2022
A hundred times yes! Being in a similar situation I can *so* relate to that. And I love how you brought home the overwhelmingly frustrating stupidity of it all.

I had to click on this because of the title, and I think you did a perfect job of staying in character for the songwriting. This is exactly how this person would write a song. I love it.

I can appreciate the frustrating sarcasm in this lyric (having moved to New Hampshire a couple of years ago and still seeing those annoying 'T-P 2020' signs around!) The stark repetitious guitar emphasizes it well.

Yes, yes, yes! Everything about a descent into dystopia right there! And not just murica unfortunately :( Nicely done Jessica.
@jessicamoon Feb 2022
Very clever and love the satirical lyrics! Animal farm? Love it. Awesome way to take on the one note challenge!

These are original lyrics! I love the point you are making. It might be cool with some backing vocals..
