FAWM: "The Statue of Liberty Is Melting"

The Statue of Liberty Is Melting

Liner Notes

And here we go another FAWM.
Last 50/90 I unintentionally started off kinda political, so this time it's intentional, it's a bit of a generic sounding one for my standards but I'll make sure to do some wacky stuff this year.
Maybe I'll get 14 FAWM tracks this time, excluding lyric only skirmishes and album tracks.
And as always if you for some reason want more of me my youtube has hundreds of (bad) songs.

Lyrics

Everybody wants to be less political
If they try they'll just be hypocritical
They'll stuff it down your throat
If you don't want no more
Have you ever seen so many red flags?
Have you ever seen so many red flags?
The statue of liberty is melting

They set us up, from the start
We let the monsters in
They'll hit us soft, they'll hit us hard
They're gonna break your heart
Some people fear the end, well this is where it starts

Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining
Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining
Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining

Some people vow to make your life worse
Those people want the worst for themselves
As they think it's some kind of help
Well, goodbye rights, hello wrongs
Can't wait to be strung along a rocky road

Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining
Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining
Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining

If it wasn't for double standards
We wouldn't have any standards
Great nations fall
When the people think they know it all

There is nobody, to hold your hand
It was 1933, they had solid plans
They promised paradise, they gave us extra lies
Are we really gonna fall for the same mistake twice?

Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining
Something right, shouldn't need convincing
Something right, should just need explaining
Something right, shouldn't need convincing (Have you ever seen so many red flags?)
Something right, should just need explaining (Have you ever seen so many red flags?)

man, the Chorus is so true...

@nuj4x 2w

I really like the chorus in this. It's kind of a mashup of punk rock vibes meet over the top synth work. I don't know why that works, but for me, it does. Killed it. I really liked the way you delivered "1933". Wasn't expecting a muted syllable and regardless if you did that on purpose or not, it was awesome!

Ooh, I love that beat and the "rubbery" synth sound in the intro. The lyrics feel right on.

@gwenthered 3w

Hell yeah! Love me some political synth crap. I always struggle getting my synths to sound right, so I really admire how things just "fit" in this.

@jinx 3w

I don't know much about electronic music but this is great! The chorus is so right on.

@atitlan 3w

Catchy chorus. Nice synthy backing. I like the lyric 'They promised paradise, they gave us extra lies' - seems that covers all politics everywhere these days.

@mikeskliar 3w

nice work! I suspect a lot of us 'went political' in our first songs here this year (I know i did!) some great lines for sure ('goodbye rights, hello wrongs' is fantastic) and the music is a good fit for the lyric!

I have to watch externally on YT as it says I need to sign in, small barrier for some maybe.

Hard to tell which side you're on as they are as bad as each other. You failed the Godwin's law test though.
