channeling my frustration (touch some grass)

NSFWLiner Notes
another therapy song, because...well, just look around.
It started one way, but ended up in another direction. Funny how that happens.
This one may never go any farther than this, but that doesn't change the fact that i needed to write it.
Lyrics
the common wisdom given is to write what you know but what if the only thing you know is an endless shit show?
The last year and change's been awful would rather not dwell on it escapist fluff is what I likely need get my mind to move beyond it
they tell you to...
turn off the news, shake off the blues go out and touch some grass focus on the positive until the low point has been passed I know those things usually work in normal circumstances but the world feels irreparably fucked not sure we've got a chance
a toddler in the White House assuming he don't knock it down ICE sowing chaos in our streets not being held to account
don't believe your lying eyes trust us, plebes, we're right never mind the air strikes launched at allies in the night
Still they say to...
turn off the news, shake off the blues go out and touch some grass focus on the positive until the low point has been passed these things, they might work in normal circumstances but the world feels irreparably fucked not sure we've got a chance
they've buried child trafficking by the rich and influential no guardrails, checks or balances they're so goddamn deferential
The so called opposition leaders cling to the idea of decorum there's just do much damn grift and money out there to break up that corrupt quorum
Just trust us, why don't you...
turn off the news, shake off the blues go out and touch some grass focus on the positive until the low point has been passed these things, they might work in normal circumstances but the world feels irreparably fucked not sure we've got a chance
every day the flood the zone with shit can't help but spread the outrage thin when it's a new thing every day you can't make any headway toward the win
the cult makes up one third of us and they're really fucking loud information's so fragmented there is no common ground
Don't be so mad, just...
turn off the news, shake off the blues go out and touch some grass focus on the positive until the low point has been passed these things, they might work in normal circumstances but the world feels irreparably fucked not sure we've got a chance
if we don't fight back it's all for naught we'll lose it all, I have no doubt we've got to use our voices, take to the streets denounce all the bullshit they spout
we've all got to hang together or we'll all hang separately the bones are good if we can keep them but the republic's in jeopardy!
Fuck You, We Won't...
turn off the news, shake off the blues go out and touch some grass focus on the positive until the low point has been passed if we don't use our voice we'll lose it we just might turn this thing around yet, but we've got to choose to do it!

Tell us how you really feel. 😀 Great idea, and you certainly have a lot to say. You might want to trim it down a tad; it is long and might come off as too long. (If that is possible.) Anywho. Thanks for sharing.
"but what if the only thing you know is an endless shit show?" A question I've asked my own therapist more than once.
