Five Million Bigots
by @dr_griff
Liner Notes
Bad Bunny’s Superb Owl performance got 135 million viewers. The other stream got…. 5 million.
Don’t listen to this song if you think you might hate my politics, which are unabashedly and flamingly liberal.
Lyrics
V1 It all started when Bad Bunny put on his halftime show His Puerto-Rican-ness on full display He showed us who we really are, he sang en español And you were mad because he won the day
You couldn’t stand his song (only 13 minutes long) Since you were not the stars, it drove you mad Your alt-right halftime stream was really just a dream With a washed-up has-been D-list of the bad
CHORUS You’re just five million bigots in a ten-pound sack It didn’t take Bad Bunny long to find your hidden cracks If a thirteen-minute halftime show is all that it would take We’ll lean on you until you finally break
V2 You think you’re the majority, this halftime proved you wrong You’re just five million bigots in denial Bad Bunny’s crowd was bigger - twenty-seven times your size Shut up and think about that for a while
You screamed and raved and ranted, you pouted and you growled You claimed he’s not American (you’re wrong) You demanded white performers and the NFL said “no” And then you lost your minds over his song
CHORUS
BRIDGE Perhaps you don’t do math so good I doubt you’d do it if you could So let me spell it out and make it clear Change is here and it has come You must really be so dumb If you can’t figure out what’s happening here
V3 Bad Bunny is American, as much as you or me He’s a Puerto Rican patriot, you know You can keep on telling lies, but history doesn’t care Nothing that you say can make him go
You’re in the minority, you’ll never win again America is all of us, red and white and blue And brown and black and yellow, you’re hiding in a past When everybody here looked just like you
CHORUS
CHORUS 2 You’re just five million bigots, un-American and vile We’ve put up with you long enough, we’re done Take your old-fashioned bigotry and shove it with a smile You’re not welcome in the world that we’ve become
OUTTRO You’re too stupid for the world that we’ve become Crawl back in your holes, you lousy racist scum
Comments
Thank you! I hope it hits the people it needs to hit, you know?
Yes, your guitar is a true descendant of Woody Guthrie's. And you are using your voice to make all the right good trouble.
Wow. Thank you. It's one of the things I hope I'm doing right.
ooh yes fireeeee. a much needed anthem! thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I've been turning it over in my head for a couple of days now, and it finally came together this afternoon.
I loved it! This needs to be played everywhere.
Thanks! I'm just a touch pissed off at those five million bigots.
A real traditional folk protest song - love it!
