NSFW Skirmish: What I did on Summer Brea... (@jlampson)Liner Notes
Yes to growing a pair! Three different friends shared what they have been up to and all three have acted in strong ways that were uncharacteristic and wonderful. Here's to growing a pair! #guitar #singersongwriter #bluegrass
Lyrics
On summer break last year I grew a set of balls All my friends did too, we all heard the call No more yes men and women to take the fall We said enough of this, we’re standing up and winner take it all.
Chorus We’ve spent half our life making sure that we didn’t offend in any way Now we’re seeing that there’s only us to fix things so we’re doing it anyway
Was it something in the water, was it something in the air? Or was it all the tv news that made us grow a pair Did we all start reading Alan Watts realizing this is it No time for setting easy it’s time to go and fix this shit
Chorus We’ve spent half our life making sure that we didn’t offend in any way Now we’re seeing that there’s only us to fix things so we’re doing it anyway
I know I was kind of startled when I first saw that change Standing up and sticking out seemed kind of strange We’re always so quiet and never want to cause a fuss But now we’re standing up and saying what we mean and enough’s enough.
Chorus We’ve spent half our life making sure that we didn’t offend in any way Now we’re seeing that there’s only us to fix things so we’re doing it anyway On summer break last year I grew a set of balls All my friends did too, we all heard the call No more yes men and women to take the fall We said enough of this, we’re standing up and winner take it all. We said enough of this, we’re standing up and winner take it all.

Geez, that was awesome! That first line is killer and grabs your attention. Kind of like when John Prine sings, "I am an old woman.....". You're like wait....what? Imma share this with my friends.
I love the message and the humor. Great Skirmish, and let's win this together.
Omg that first line. YES And the rest of it. Excellent protest.
