Avenue C and 5th Street

This is a dedication song for the people of Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and the glorious Wrexham A.F.C.  Plenty of symbolism and intentional meaning in this one too.  We're going up said three times, We rise said three times!  Champions!   We believe!

I Do

Everything I am because of you
The fire burns to dream you made it true 
We rise up from the ashes 
Who believes 
I do 

Stand and raise your eyes, you’ll come to see 
Long enough, my friend you’ve carried me 
My turn to have your back
Do you believe 
I do

This city on our shoulders we all sing together 
I do 
We rise we rise we rise we fight

Brave enough, the passion live in me
Champions us all in victory
How far we have to go
Do you believe
I do 

This city on our shoulders we all sing together 
I do

We rise we rise we rise we fight
We rise we rise we rise we fly

I Do

New Born Baby

Verse
I feel like a new born baby, wipe my tears and spank me, all the ways you'll fuck me up, maybe you don't know

Verse
I feel like a feral puppy, throw me scraps and kick me, begging you to love me, until you put me down

Was it all the whining, did I remind you of something, that made me let you go

Bridge
Close your eyes, I won't bite, say your mine
Close your eyes, please don't bite, say goodbye

Verse 
You say that you don't love me, that you're gonna leave me, that I'm not enough, as you dance in the rain

Verse
I feel like a supernova, failed the constellation, fade from view when the light is gone, like there's no escape

Was it all the crying, was I only dreaming, did I drive you away
Was I lost in the distance, was it imagination, we ever danced anyway

Not all of us who wander are lost
To pity us or turn in disgust

Inside your walls, a line to your vein
Can you walk at all, define what is sane

Pretend You're Free

This is a protest song.  In no way is this a manifesto, nor am I to be considered a threat to act with an measure of violence beyond or representative of the words in this song.  I am a peaceful person who vehemently detests Trump, his administration, and everything that he does.  I appreciate the people who support him, I just don't support what they believe, and wholeheartedly feel that this country is a far worse and more dangerous place with Trump as president.  He sows the seeds of fear, hate, and everything that this country has been trying to mature beyond.  Clearly, to him, "Make America Great Again" simply means to make it white and make it male!  F Trump and F anyone who supports his ignorant policies!  Again, not a threat, just a pissed off songwriter who needed to say something!

Intro Chord: Bf > B > Bf > B 
Intro Melody:  Bf > A > G > F > Af > G > F > Ef

Verse 1:
(Bf) These politicians are (B) driving the train
Straight off the cliff, they don’t hesitate
Gather us up and they place us in chains
Care more for their power, this narcissist’s power

(Bf) Will they never learn, (B) how can they not see
It’s never enough, justifying their greed
Both sides of their mouth, you can never believe
Don’t trust in these fools, beware of their sheep
 
Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air

Verse 2:
No strength found in numbers.  They’re pounding their chests
Roots take to the promise that the beast knows what’s best
Can you see what is coming, getting harder to breathe
45, 47, wears his hate on his sleeve

From up in his castle, the king on his throne
Protecting his fortune, picks his teeth with our bones
To our last breath, with it our democracy
Resisting the tyrant, we must resist his lunacy

Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air


Bridge Verse 1
(am) I’m just (EM) trying to live my (F) life (C) (em7b6)
(am) You’ll never control (EM) my mind
(F)	You’re just a puppet with the (CM) power (em7b6) to decide

Just another 3 inches to the right
A civil war to be xenophobe free
Not my president, don’t represent me

Bridge Chorus
(F)	You got an expiration (E) date
(F) I’m declaring Independence from (E) intolerance and hate
(F) No place for despotism in the (E) USA
(F) Your fascist agenda is an (E) ideocracy

Bridge Verse 2
I’m just trying to do things right
Deportations and tariffs are a ludicrous decree
Firing national security agents who refuse to bend the knee
The earth is just trying to survive
But you’re drill baby drill, want to gut protected lands
You’re gonna get us all killed, you’ve got our blood on your hands

Bridge Chorus
You got an expiration date
I’m declaring Independence from intolerance and hate
No place for despotism in the USA
Your fascist agenda is an ideocracy

Pre-Chorus:
(C#) We are, in our (D) darkest hour
(C#) Cry freedom, from the (D) bigots and fear

Chorus:
(E)	I might, try to (F) take back the power
(E) I might, raise my fist (F) in the air


From the Declaration of Independence

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
