It's Getting Kinda Hot

"Morning Song" is a burst of uplifting energy, wrapped in a cozy, feel-good vibe. Blending humor and positivity with a lighthearted, rhythmic flow, it offers a refreshing reminder that no matter what the day brings, you've got this—along with a dose of self-love and confidence. A perfect pick-me-up for those mornings when you need a little extra boost, it encourages you to embrace the day with a smile, a positive outlook, and the belief that you can handle anything life throws your way.

Morning Song

"State of Emergency" discusses the concerning state of affairs in West Virginia, including issues around vaccines, the opioid crisis, disability rights, LGBTQ+ discrimination, cuts to social programs, and the government's response to natural disasters and economic challenges. There are worrying trends of prioritizing special interests over the wellbeing of the people, and "State of Emergency" is a call to action for West Virginians to speak up and fight for their rights and freedoms.

Lyrics:

Well, I can clearly see
Big Jim
With a smug grin
Wearing a state pin
But what state do I see
I hear Baby Dog crying
I see West Virginians dying
It's a State of Emergency

And ole Patrick Morrisey's
Bringing back the measles
Geez Louise and
Lordy Me
All you gotta do is
Sign an affidavit
If you wanna deny vaccines

DEI to the side
Can't decide
To diversify
When we're too busy
With religious asides
But religion aside
Exemptions won't keep us alive
When Polio and Smallpox
Drop by to say, "Hi!"

Come ride the ride
These country roads are all broke
Opioids until we croak
Almost heavenly dope
A slippery slope
Brought in by friends of the old
Attorney General
And who was that
Oh no

That was Patrick Morrisey
There's ole Big Jim
I can't say I want the former
Nor the latter again
They like to say that
Jesus Christ
Came to die for your sins
But what's sin to one
Who wouldn't make
A neighbor a friend

You see the trend
They're gonna cut what they spend
Better bet they'll start with programs
On which people depend
I mean the ones that help the people
Who have much less than them
But now the wealthy get all
The federal entitlements

Need I say more
These people are rotten to the core
Big Jim rides a power wheelchair
But we were gonna kill 504
And that's not new
Mr. Morrisey got us in on it
Last year
So now his hit list goes
Disabled
Women
Poor
Lesbian
Gay
Bi
Trans
Then Queer

I really don't want to
Think the end is near
But why does our state
Keep choosing hate
Where'd we get all that fear
We're supposed to be proud
We're supposed to stand our ground
Not lick the boots of the very people
Who love keeping us down

Mother Jones is making
Waves in her grave
Why are there so many people
Interested in owning slaves
Cutting Medicaid
Social Security
Cutting PEIA
Did we forget how important
People are
To making us great

What are we doing
We could say we were wrong
We could go back to the idea
Of West Virginians being strong
They're gonna let people hit your kids
They're gonna raise your power rates
Only days before the last flood
Pat budgeted
No flood money for the state

Do you understand
Why are you not more upset
They gamble your life away and laugh
Like it was a two dollar bet
You just gonna sit around and wait
Until you don't get your check
Can't get to your Doctor's Appointments
Definitely can't get your meds

Can't get a job
Don't know how
Crypto even works
Going berserk
Because you're finding out
Who tariffs really hurt
Better get to work
You've got a voice
It's time to use it
Freedom doesn't come free
Better speak up
Before you lose it

It's Getting Kinda Hot
