Political Song Walked In A Bar

https://suno.com/song/854f4e82-00b8-43f7-8d8d-d1cc007187ef

verse 1

Neon flickered, smoke hung low

Half the room already ready to go

Old man starin’ in his beer

Like trouble was already here

Boots on tile, quiet got tight

You could feel it 'fore the fight

Bartender wiped the counter slow

Like he already knew the show

Verse 2

Door swung wide, cold blew in

Room got still like a coming sin

Guitar player stopped mid-chord

Everybody leaned toward the door

Then somebody laughed too hard

Like they’d just pulled a wild card

Nobody knew just who you were…

But the whole room felt the stir

Chorus

A political song walked in a bar

Didn’t get very far

One side cheered, one side swore

Nobody listened anymore

Truth got drowned in a whiskey jar

When a political song walked in a bar

Verse 3

Somebody yelled, "Pick a side!"

Somebody else said, "Truth just died"

Chair legs scraped, tempers sparked

Freedom stumbled in the dark

Guitar player packed his case

Said, "Music lost its place"

Bartender just shook his head

"Songs used to bring folks together," he said

Final Chorus

A political song walked in a bar

Left with a broken guitar

Nobody won, nobody learned

Just another bridge that burned

Silence humming where voices are…

Since a political song walked in a bar


Now even love songs get nervous when they walk in that bar.

    They're Career suicide . I still remember hit writers I studied with . do not write them . you can write the most beautiful song crickets

    Write some fucked political song , Here come the junkies . they all waste their life away on news channels and become experts on comments . Well they want to be informed , you ain't changing shit . Is Trump going get out of this mess he got us in . you mean are you going get us out of this fucking mess he made . Well I picked a side , See what I mean ?

    That's too bad, these are really strong lyrics., and I'm not saying that to blow smoke up your ass, and stroke your ego😁

    There is a book from Arthur Machen called White People, which naturally isn't about racism, but if you have a song title White People which is based on the book of the same name, would most likely do as well as a political or religious song.

    I need money , I'm not using robots its session players , Will see . People get offended on robots , Its not your Uncle Bob , its fucking computer

  • it seems that using AI to create songs, is a no-no, but using AI to edit and mix songs is ok. there is a site called Taxi, there's a portal for you to submit songs. Not sure if they are a scam or not, but in one of the briefs, they said that you can't use AI to create the music, but they don't have a problem with using AI to mix

    They will only take them if they are edited by AI, not created by AI.

    One way to find out if your songs suck or not, post them on a professional site and not an amateur songwriting forum, where I guess if you are too harsh, and don't' tell them that their lyrics are the bestest ever,, then your opinion becomes fact and you're now the monster :)

    Even though you do use Neon a lot, it's not quantity, its quality, this is what separates professional writing from non-professional, like mine, for example. my songs aren't deep but layered symbolically but the meaning needs a bit of extracting, which is part of my world. You write symbolically, but the meaning is there, but you tell a story. Neon means different things based on context.

  • Well thats enough serious stuff , Don't forget to vote

  • You have to be a complete moron to keep doing music and lose money
