Awake or Woke?

Good Morning, Songsters! Don't know if this one makes much sense. All I know is that it's fun to sing.
Copy and Pasting from Sid's latest:
Sensitive Topic: I understand there will be others with alternative views and I respect those, but I am only looking for feedback on the song itself, not a debate on the topic. Please respect my wishes.

AWAKE OR WOKE?
[Chorus]
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you a chick?
Are you a bloke?
Are you a snake
Blowing smoke?
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
[Verse 1]
You knew he was a snake when you let him in
Now that Trump’s in, no getting rid of him
And with his starry-eyed maniac, Elon
DOGE would just assume have us all gone!
[Chorus]
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you a chick?
Are you a bloke?
Are you a snake
Blowing smoke?
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Do-do-do, do-do-do . . .
[Verse 2]
You knew he was a snake when you let him in
Now that Bibi’s in, no getting rid of him
'Cuz he claims to be of God’s chosen tribe
And Bibi’s taking the Lost Sheep for a ride!
[Chorus]
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you a chick?
Are you a bloke?
Are you a snake
Blowing smoke?
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Before we go any further, hon, I need to know
This town’s runnin’ low on good seeds to sow, whoa!
[Chorus]
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you a chick?
Are you a bloke?
Are you a snake
Blowing smoke?
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Do-do-do, do-do-do . . .
[Chorus]
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you a chick?
Are you a bloke?
Are you a snake
Blowing smoke.......?
[Chorus/Tag]
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you a chick?
Are you a bloke?
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you awake
Or are you woke?
Are you awake
Or are you woke?

Speaking as one who is not ashamed of being fairly woke, I still found this a fun song. Nice simple, sing-along melody, good use of repetition. Also, there's a snake blowing smoke. You don't often find one of those in a song.

Let me rephrase.... while its structure is well written, the content was a bit confusing.

Again, I think if you made the strumming more "cool" your sound would be cool. It's literally the kind of strumming I have heard while visiting an old folks home on a Tuesday afternoon in the dinning hall.

@robwills sorry I'm not 'cool' enough for you. I do the best I can with what I've been given and Lord knows I shouldn't be playing any instrument. I just suck at it. Thank you for the reminder! And just so you know, I am old.

@IronKnee I agree the content is confusing. But so isn't the subject for that matter. 😍
