#97. The Fight Song

I watched Trump's defense lawyers at the impeachment trial today.  Sad!  Fight, fight, fight... yeah I get it.  Eleven minutes worth of liquid shit.  Granted, I'm hardly impartial, but it just seemed the video was kinda disingenuous.  And exhausting.  How about all that spooky-foxy techno background music?  What the fuck was up with that?  

Also, and not to state the obvious, but I'd say about half of the Democrats, when they were telling their crowds "to fight"... were actually talking about fighting for healthcare, education, social security, living wage, climate change, etc.  They weren't trying to create a human stampede.

Anyway, here's a twist on one of Marilyn Manson's most anthemic tunes.  The Fight Song.

The Fight Song
sonofsaf

Nothing irritates you more than
The blasting of the same word that makes no sense
Repetition is a cumbersome task to fake
The editing in overdrive

But I'm not so brave to applaud
Or cease and desist
And I'm not so brave or concerned
If Donald takes a shit

Not misunderstood
Repeat all the lies
And make Trump glad
We'll carve you blind

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Stay awake get a sugar fix candy bar
Watch a video that’s all the same
They just repeat the shit like
Go and fight and say that death
Is surely the way

Not misunderstood
Repeat all the lies
And make Trump glad
We'll carve you blind

But I'm not so brave to applaud
Or cease and desist
And I'm not so brave or concerned
If Donald takes a shit

Watching that video’s agony
Watching that video’s agony
Watching that video’s agony
Repetition is idiosyncratic

But I'm not so brave to applaud
Or cease and desist
And I'm not so brave or concerned
If Donald takes a shit
But I'm not so brave to applaud
Or cease and desist
And I'm not so brave or concerned
If Donald takes a shit

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!

The Fight Song
Marilyn Manson

Nothing suffocates you more than
The passing of everyday human events
Isolation is the oxygen mask you make
Your children breath into survive

But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit

And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

You'll never grow up to be a big-rock-star
Celebrated-victim-of-your-fame
They'll just cut our wrists like
Cheap coupons and say that death
Was on sale today

And when we were good
You just closed your eyes
So when we are bad
We'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit

The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of millions is just a statistic

But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit
But I'm not a slave to a god
That doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to a world
That doesn't give a shit

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
