Brendan Tynan @akaichar.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Bouie's analysis mirrors my own. I think Trump's success at the ballot reflects the political acsendecy of the Boomers and Gen X, whose strong memories of Watergate have entrenched a universal skepticism.

![[Verse 1]
When I was born, they looked at me and said
"What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy"
And when you were born, they looked at you and said
"What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We've got these chains hanging around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls, we just look away](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vmhrtckqi7ghdoqhf3lgvm4y/bafkreiginogw2fyuzassgn3y6brkd37hu3siaxlqdl2lzwdi3kiiczwf7u)
![[Verse 1]
If I were you, and I wish that I were you
All the things I'd do to make myself turn blue
I suppose I'd start by removing all my clothes
Tie my pantyhose around my neck
[Chorus]
I'll be that girl and you would be right over
If I were a field, you would be in clover
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
[Verse 2]
If you will not have me as myself, perhaps as someone else
Perhaps as you I'll be worth noticing
Then even a eunuch won't resist
The magic of a kiss from such as me
[Chorus]
I'll be that girl and you would be right over
If I were a field, you would be in clover
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow

![[Post-Chorus 2]
And would you please ignore
That you found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
Oh alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

Would you please forgive me?
Would you please forgive me?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vmhrtckqi7ghdoqhf3lgvm4y/bafkreiaq66ylr5zvfwu4ezdcgemuttsp352zaz4d2faiq3qgmenmnppkvi)
