about

I recently spent some time in a place with aggressively vile political signage. After a few days I tired of flipping the bird at inanimate objects and instead channeled my fury into writing some astral folk-pop, a genre I just invented. Enjoy!

lyrics

Spaceman Don
Is staring at the sun
And out loud he’s a-wondering
Why there’s still no MAGA flag
Planted on its surface
That would be so beautiful. So perfect.

Spaceman Don
Can’t spell hydrogen
But he knows a TV star when he sees one
And if Spaceman Don don’t claim it first
Antifi might or even worse
Cause Soros and the Clintons have the cash
To throw a sun-baked ice cream sandwich bash

So Space Force grab a rocket
Put Spaceman Don atop it
And point that stable genius at the sun
He’ll make that dwarf star tall again
Grab the aliens by their laser guns
So let’s be best and send him right away
For the sake of the American way

Spaceman Don wants to buy the sun and brand it
After all it is the orangest of the planets
He says think of all the factory lands
No more Chinese MAGA swag
We can make our crap now in the USA
Once the sun becomes our 27th state

So Space Force grab a rocket
Put Spaceman Don atop it
And point that stable genius at the sun
He’ll make that dwarf star tall again
Grab the aliens by their laser guns
So let’s be best and send him right away
For the sake of the American way

What a tremendous undertaking
A yuge responsibility
But who’s more fit for greatness than a failed TV host
Who cheated on his taxes and the SATs

So Spaceman Don take your hair off
Put your helmet on
You won’t need that comb-job where you’re going
Cause I heard on Fox and Friends
The hottest aliens like tiny hands
And trust-fund louts without an ounce of grace
So on the sun you’re bound to get laid

So Space Force grab a rocket
Put Spaceman Don atop it
And point that stable genius at the sun
He’ll make that dwarf star tall again
Grab the aliens by their laser guns
So let’s be best and send him right away
For the sake of the American way
For the sake of the American way
