I've Got Friends with Snowden Faces

Willy came up with this song title idea. Let's work out lyrics for it.

Original:

Blame it all on my roots

I showed up in boots

And ruined your black tie affair

The last one to know

The last one to show

I was the last one you thought you'd see there

And I saw the surprise

And the fear in his eyes

When I took his glass of champagne

And I toasted you

Said "honey, we may be through"

But you'll never hear me complain



'Cause I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places



Well, I guess I was wrong

I just don't belong

But then, I've been there before

Everything's all right

I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

Hey, I didn't mean

To cause a big scene

Just give me an hour and then

Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower

That you're livin' in



'Cause I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places



I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places



I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

Oh, I've got friends in low places



I've got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns

And the beer chases my blues away

And I'll be okay




My rough work:

'Cause I've got friends with Snowden faces

Where they talk about drones

And Greenwald chases the NSA

And I'll be okay

I'm not big on social programs

Think I'll slip on down to a lower tax rate

Oh, I've got friends with Snowden faces



Well, I guess I was wrong

I just don't belong

You obviously like Trump a lot

Everything's all right

I'll just say goodnight

And find a libertarian website

Hey, I didn't mean

To cause a big scene

Just didn't know you were alt-right

Well, I'll be gone, as soon as I can

Then everyone here will be white!
