"Shit Show" - The Story Behind the Song

SHIT SHOW 

At what point in a career politician’s life do they go from caring about the people they serve to caring about the country they serve. 

I’m ok by the way if there’s a group of politicians that serve for the good of our country, and the head of that group is the president of the United States. It makes perfect sense actually. Maybe, there should also be a second president. The president of the People of the United States. Someone who actually cares about the people, about our homeless rates, about our unemployed, about our education system and our policing system, etc, etc. 
  
The song Shit Show is a rant that goes out to the politicians who have forgotten why they got into politics. The politicians who forgot what they promised and what they’ve said along the way. The politicians who have forgotten who they serve. 

This is a song about disappointment. 

The chorus sums up the entire song in the first line. 
“Here we go again”

Song Art and Lyrics Below:

Shit Show 

After everything that’s been said 
Why are you still in my head 
I can’t think of any reason 

The more I to listen to you 
Tell us all lies on the news 
We want info not your preachin’ 

Here we go again 
Round and round again 
Don’t tell us what you don’t know 
Here we go again 
Round and round and round again 
This has become such a shit show 

You’re not who you promised you'd be 
You’re the one that tells me I’m free 
How did we let this happen 

We put a lot of our faith in you 
So you could do the things you said you’d do 
What happened to all your passion 

(Chorus) 
(Bridge) 
(Chorus)

Shit Show 
Fucking Shit 
Shit Show
