It’s mine too.
“Americans” – Janelle Monae
Hold on, don’t fight your war alone
Halo around you, don’t have to face it on your own
We will win this fight
All souls be brave
We’ll find a way to heaven
We’ll find a way
War is old, so is sex
Let’s play god, you go next
Heads go up, men go down
Try my luck, stand my ground
Die in church, live in jail
Say her name, twice in hell
Uncle Sam kissed a man
Jim Crow Jesus rose again
I like my woman in the kitchen
I teach my children superstitions
I keep my two guns on my blue nightstand
A pretty young thang, she can wash my clothes
But she’ll never ever wear my pants
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Learned the words from my mom and dad
Cross my heart and I hope to die
With a big old piece of American pie
Love me baby, love me for who I am
Fallen angels singing, “clap your hands”
Don’t try to take my country, I will defend my land
I’m not crazy, baby, naw
I’m American
I’m American
I’m American
I’m American
Seventy-nine cent to your dollar
All that bullshit from white-collars
You see my color before my vision
Sometimes I wonder if you will fly
Would it help you make a better decision?
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Learned the words from my mom and dad
Cross my heart and I hope to die
With a big old piece of American pie
Just love me baby, love me for who I am
Fallen angels singing, “clap your hands”
Don’t try to take my country, I will defend my land
I’m not crazy, baby, naw
I’m American
I’m American
I’m American
I’m American

This is such crap.
See, you can’t claim gender fluidity in one hand, and the gender wage gap in the other.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Actually, just one, my daily carry gun. And it’s not blue. lol, who would have a blue nightstand? My nightstand is nice stained solid wood. Fifteen feet from the nightstand I may or may not keep a couple rifles, and a vest.
Janelle’s an idiot, and terrible “artist”.
@Weenis You do know the difference between gender fluidity and gender identity, don’t you? A woman making .79 cents to a man’s dollar has nothing to do with who she sleeps with. Got that homeboy?
Calling Janelle Monae, an artist who Prince called to ask to work with; an idiot and terrible artist makes you sound like dumb, old man Trump. Saying someone who is talented terrible just because they don’t agree with your politics is….(in Charles Barkley’s voice, teeeerrrible.
Let’s see you dance, sing, produce, write, act, and look fucking hot while doing it all.
@Gina
There is no gender wage gap.
@Gina Well, this was a waste of time…
@immortal_pirate This is more your speed. I know, it’s too much for you to grasp.
@Gina Very funny…
@gina4peas, @Weenis seemed to take the verse “I keep my two guns on my blue nightstand” as being pointed at himself but only disagreed that the description of the night stand and the amount of guns was off, not:
“I like my woman in the kitchen
I teach my children superstitions
……
A pretty young thang, she can wash my clothes
But she’ll never ever wear my pants”
Boys’ll love their oppressed mothers over their oppressing fathers, & this will set them free from some of the Programming.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion has it’s overlaps.
@luftballooneyegouge
It was the only thing in the song that even remotely mirrored reality.
@Weenis
Maybe the opposite will be more to your approval?
@luftballooneyegouge Yep. The song is called, Americans. It’s an ode to America’s racist habits and traditions. Things @Weenis can relate to I’m sure.
Here is another milktoast “rock” song for da weenis.
@Gina
They probably play this one at der rallies…
@luftballooneyegouge That’s his best song. Way to go!
