Disputin Putin
Disputin Putin is a song I wrote back in what 2012 or so, because the man is a scourge. I incorporated two other lyrics - more spoken word than song, because it all fits together. Hear the full result here, music, arrangement production courtesy of my brilliant music producer son, James Donahue, and guitar by equally brilliant musician Adam Agati.

Ooh, ooh disputin Putin
Mmm, mmm, a crime, treason
Rushing Russia to a season
Like Autumn
Dying leaves of reason
Mmm, mmm, Putin once
KGB agent
Hearing protests, discontent
Declared: Die. Fall.
If you dissent
+…
We Go On (for Ukraine)
We move on like nothing happened
We move on like there’s a sun
We go on about the weather
We go on and on and on
Like no children lost their mothers
Like no fathers saw the blood
Of their children in the crossfire
Or their faces as they died
And we go on
We do go on
We talk and smile through all our small talk
We do go on and on and on
Like no rich man jacked the tax base
Like you never lost your home
Like poor folks hand is in the space race
Like the liar isn’t two faced
Like you matter to your idols
Like they think of you at all
Like your vote counts as your debt mounts
Like they’ll catch you when you fall
But you quote your favorite foxhole
And pretend he’s not a fucker
As you act the good disciple
He steals the bread from your last supper
And you talk about the weather
Like the climate hasn’t changed
Put your feet up on the table
While the fucker eats your brain
But do go on and on and on
Like the words you say are yours
Like the steaming propaganda
Never made it through your door
Like eroded education
Is not part of the end game
Like those good jobs they created
Are more than table scraps
And the silver spoon they grasp
Weighs the same as those bootstraps
They tell you to pull up again
Each time you sacrifice
Another hour and week and month
Til they’ve taken your whole life
But keep watching your beloved gods
As ratings grow the pie
They shovel in their pieholes
A bite for every lie
While you toil to pay for scraps of joy
Whose day will never come
As your idols suck up more and more
And still go on and on
Like Ukraine doesn’t matter
Like theirs is not your struggle
Like no children bombed by Putin
Suffocate beneath the rubble
Like you have no time to even look
Past your fox-whores’ mediocrity
While elderly Ukrainians
Raise fists for your democracy
But do go on like nothing happened
Like no mother lost a son
And no father lost a daughter
Do go on and on and on

Peace Wrecker (spoken word)
Every time a bomb kills
Peace wreckers win
Babies kill babies
It's Peace Wrecker's work
The air I breathe is killing me
Peace wreckers win
I hope they don't win
I hope they don't win
Everybody dies
But their soul lives on?
Everybody's heart beats
Together? In the end?
Except the Peace Wrecker
Got no heart to join?
The Peace Wrecker
In the end, he's alone?
Everybody's crying
Except the Peace Wrecker
Everybody's trying
Except the Peace Wrecker
Will the Peace Wrecker
Be crying in the end?
When the Peace Wrecker's gone
Will Life begin?
