#381. Derek Chauvin

The ultimate joy of writing parodies is to take a song about love, flip it upside down, and turn it into hate.  Or vice-a-versa I suppose.

 

 

 

 

(Mark 1:06.35)

Derek Chauvin
sonofsaf

I was killing,
Choking out the weak, stops air from going;
He’s dead beneath the weight
Choking
The shame of blood, but never really flowing;
He just found out his fate.
I like to torture and watch you beg and pray.
I see right through all the strife and use my knee to bring the pain
I’m Derek Chauvin, Derek Chauvin, Derek Chauvin.
I was kneeling,
Kneeling on the neck so you can all see,
And assessing blame.
Doping,
And raping, lynching, equivalency
And I’ll never feel the shame.
Gonna be feelin’ worse and I don’t know right from wrong.
He said, I’m gonna kill you right boy, makes me feel strong
My name’s Derek Chauvin, Derek Chauvin, Derek Chauvin. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe,
Someday maybe, just because I was bored,
The effrontery.
Interlocking,
Cuffing you hand in hand, makes it much better;
Victim is what you’ll be.
I’m gonna leave you breathless, Lord, time has come for you;
Gonna give you the Derek Chauvin  and Chauvin in the end it’s just for you.
Derek Chauvin, Derek Chuavin, Derek Chauvin. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Derek Chauvin, Derek Chauvin, Derek Chauvin.

Keep on Growing
Grateful Dead

I was laughing,
Playing in the streets, I was unknowing;
I didn't know my fate.
Playing
The game of love, but never really showing;
I thought that love could wait.
I was a young man and sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way
To keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
I was standing,
Looking in the face of one who loved me,
Feeling so ashamed.
Hoping,
And praying, Lord, that she could understand me,
But I didn't know her name.
She took my hand in hers and told me I was wrong.
She said, you're gonna be all right boy, oh just as long
As you keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe,
Someday baby, who knows where or when, Lord,
Just you wait and see.
We'll be walking,
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
Woman just you and me.
'Cause time is gonna change us, Lord, and I know it's true;
Our love is gonna keep on glowing and growing and it's all we gotta do.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep on growing, keep on growing, keep on growing.
