*"More Than a Squirrel"*

(Verse 1)  
I saw the video, felt the ache,  
Little P'Nut didn’t stand a chance to break,  
And yeah, the outrage, I get why it flows—  
A life cut short, everyone knows.  

But look at the comments, the righteous cries,  
For one little life under government lies,  
But when it’s lives lost across the sea,  
A different tune is all I see.  

(Chorus)  
Why does a squirrel’s life matter more,  
Than thousands killed on a distant shore?  
They say “vote blue, don’t talk foreign lands,”  
But blood stains red on all our hands.  

(Verse 2)  
I’m not saying rise up and fight,  
But tell me why, why it feels right,  
To cheer for a squirrel’s justice here,  
While genocide rolls on, year by year.  

Forty thousand lives—who’s keeping score?  
But call it out and they shut the door,  
“Don’t talk of taxes, don’t speak of aid,”  
Just “vote the party, and don’t be swayed.”  

(Chorus)  
Why does a squirrel’s life matter more,  
Than thousands killed on a distant shore?  
They say “vote blue, don’t talk foreign lands,”  
But blood stains red on all our hands.  

(Bridge)  
It’s genocide, no matter who,  
No comfort in knowing others do it too,  
Call them out, every regime,  
But look at what our taxes mean.  

(Outro)  
All lives are sacred, near and far,  
But a squirrel’s worth more in our backyard.  
If we could feel for every soul,  
Maybe then the world would be whole.

'Drumpf's DDoS of Democracy (extended version)'
- Kotoku Denjiro

October 30, 2024 at 2:00 a.m.

They’re crashing the gates with a flood of lies,
Rigged elections and FBI spies.
It’s ballots dumped and suitcases stuffed,
Dominion rigged, it’s never enough.
“Fake electors,” they shout in swing states,
Pressuring lawmakers to fabricate.
While courts try to untangle threads,
They’re onto the next mess in our heads.

It’s a DDoS on democracy,
A Gish Gallop unleashed deliberately.
Flooding the news, breaking the trust,
Wearing down systems built to be just.
With every scandal, they spin and scheme,
Till truth collapses under the stream.

An insurrection called “patriots' march,”
Where gallows stood under the Capitol’s arch.
“Hang Mike Pence,” they chanted wild,
But Trump claimed it was all mild.
In the Oval, plans were hatched,
Pressure campaigns to overturn the match.
From Georgia calls to fake audits staged,
Flooding every crack with lies and rage.

It’s a DDoS on democracy,
A Gish Gallop that grinds the gears we need.
Overwhelmed with claims and spinning the flaws,
Until the checks buckle in a web of faux laws.
A storm of tweets and media spun,
Until it’s chaos where the truth once won.

He called to Georgia for “11,780” votes,
A demand so clear, it was practically rote.
But when caught, he called it fake news,
Pushing conspiracies in alternate views.
Meanwhile, pardons fly like exit bribes,
For allies who stayed on his side.
Giuliani's hearings pushed wild lies,
Fake witnesses reading scripted alibis.
Judges and cronies stacked at each turn,
To make accountability crash and burn.

It’s a DDoS on democracy,
Every false claim a brick in the spree.
Overloading defenses, bending the law,
Leaving cracks for corruption to crawl.
They count on chaos, bet on noise,
To drown out reason and silence choice.

“Stop the steal” rallies call for arms,
Chaos as tactic, no fear of alarms.
Rittenhouse walks, praised as brave,
A martyr for the lies they crave.
Meanwhile, January 6th hearings stall,
Delayed by filibusters and shadowed calls.
Trump dodges indictments, claims no guilt,
While allies sow rage from platforms he built.

It’s a DDoS on democracy,
The system buckles from their strategy.
Distrust deepens with every blow,
As they keep lying, the cracks grow.
With every court date that comes and goes,
Another plot to keep the chaos stoked.

They’re counting on exhaustion and disarray,
To sweep their lies and crimes away.
It’s a flood meant to drown the guard,
Hoping to leave democracy scarred.
But we’ll hold the line, and patch each break,
Expose every plot and the havoc they make.
For when truth rises above the lies,
We’ll repair what’s been damaged and compromised.

DDoS: A Distributed Denial of Service attack, usually used in cybersecurity. In this context, it’s a metaphor for overwhelming democracy with a flood of misinformation, scandals, and distractions to destabilize and overload its systems.

Gish Gallop: A debate tactic where someone rapidly presents a large number of arguments or falsehoods to overwhelm their opponent. In this song, it represents how political figures use numerous false claims to wear down systems of truth and accountability.

Dominion: Refers to Dominion Voting Systems, a company accused without evidence of tampering with votes during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The term highlights how baseless accusations were used to undermine public trust in the electoral system.

“Fake electors”: Refers to attempts to have unauthorized individuals claim to be legitimate electors in order to change the outcome of the 2020 election, particularly in swing states where the vote was close.

Insurrection: Refers to the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, where rioters attempted to overturn the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

"Hang Mike Pence": A chant from some rioters during the Capitol attack, expressing anger at then-Vice President Mike Pence for refusing to reject the electoral votes.

[Ad-libbing]
Trump cosplaying as a grease-collar worker at McDonald's, and now McDonald's has an e-coli outbreak across the US.  I'm not saying Trump didn't wash his hands, but even if Trump wanted to wash his hands of all the crimes he's committed, "Out, damned spot!" he yelled, but he doesn't have a dog.

Trump is an evil fascist, you've witnessed his litany of crimes on primetime.  If in 2024 you still think Trump is a man worth voting for, that's on you.

Fascism is on you
Like white Karens on rice
Like white men and white lice
Like Trump and the supposed supremacy of the white race
When we're all just part of the fabric of time and space

Trump Didn't Wash His Hands

'Ender's Game, or Gamer's End?'

*(Verse 1)*
John Healy’s calling out to the screen, 
Recruiting gamers for the war machine.
From *Call of Duty* to battle plans, 
No boots on the ground, just controller hands.
No loadouts needed, no respawn here, 
This is real life, but don't shed a tear.
He says, "We need your killstreak streak, 
To fly our drones and dominate the weak."

*Chorus* 
**Ender’s Game, or Gamer’s End?** 
Is this where the battle truly blends?
From Warzone drops to drone command, 
Is this the fight we understand?
**Ender’s Game, or Gamer’s End?** 
No gulag chance, no friend to send,
But war’s the same behind the screen—
Just play your part, it’s not a dream.

*(Verse 2)*
Outdated rules are in the past, 
He’s scrapping the red tape fast. 
Eczema? Acne? You’re still in the fight, 
With your UAV, you’ll see the light. 
"No need for perks or streak rewards, 
The enemy’s now behind closed doors."
Drones and artillery lead the way,
This isn't Verdansk—it’s the real fray.

*Chorus*
**Ender’s Game, or Gamer’s End?**
Is this where the battle truly blends? 
From Warzone drops to drone command,
Is this the fight we understand? 
**Ender’s Game, or Gamer’s End?**
No gulag chance, no friend to send, 
But war’s the same behind the screen—
Just play your part, it’s not a dream.

*(Bridge)*
Like Ender, you’ll never see the face, 
Of enemies caught in your kill-cam trace.
No heartbeat sensors, just endless scans, 
Is this warfare, or another game plan?
You won’t hear the airstrike call, 
Just press the button, watch them fall.
Precision shots, no need to reload, 
But does it feel like the same old code?

*(Verse 3)*
Labour’s patching up recruitment woes, 
But who’s the player when the scoreline shows? 
Putin’s hacking our killstreak flow,
And you're the hero with the final blow. 
*Call of Duty* taught you well—
Dropping drones like a kill-confirm hell. 
Healy says it’s your time to rise,
From multiplayer lobbies to military skies.

*Chorus* 
**Ender’s Game, or Gamer’s End?** 
Is this where the battle truly blends? 
From Warzone drops to drone command,
Is this the fight we understand? 

**Ender’s Game, or Gamer’s End?**
No gulag chance, no friend to send, 
But war’s the same behind the screen—
Just play your part, it’s not a dream.

*(Outro)*
From killstreaks earned to missions real, 
Are you the soldier, can you feel?
With every drone, with every fight, 
Is this your duty, your shining light?  
Will you respawn or just pretend? 
When war’s no longer face to face,
Will victory leave a bitter taste?
