Boom Boom (Clear the Room)
by @regis
Liner Notes
I didn't intend to save this for Presidents Day, that's just how it worked out. There are, of course, far more important things we can rail about, but this chorus needed dislodged from my brain.
Lyrics
When the trumpet blasts, poker faces crack Turning green, watering eyes Part and parcel no surprise Not a drill this is not a test You made your choice, clean up your mess As above, so below Drowning and choking on the pungent flow
It’s too on the nose how on the nose it is
Boom boom clear the room Fetid stench of a cursed tomb It always lingers, always looms Boom boom clear the room Boom boom, clear the room Perfumed in the crack of doom Wrap it up not a minute too soon Boom boom clear the room
Try to play it cool But nobody’s fooled No more questions for today Not that anyone wants to stay Gotta understand The most essential command Is that you reject The evidence your nose can’t not detect
Such is the price we pay It didn’t have to be this way
Somebody crack a window Sit in your shame Too bad you can’t Febreeze All your sins away
Good hook. It is clear enough what current events are referenced. Like the closing, can’t Febreeze your sins away.
