about

This song tumbled headlong out of me on hearing AG & DG on The Daily Beans read quotes from Fox Entertainment Network execs talking in the most derisive way about their own followers, as exposed during the Dominion lawsuit. I felt sad for my neighbors treated as marks in this circus, and I also hoped it might shake some of them out of their habit of serving in that role.

The energy to make the piece was very strong and rather different from my usual writing space; I wondered if I was channeling another sensibility. The name Sally Goodin jumped right up, so I'm calling her that.
It took us a week to tidy up the piece, and another week for me to learn to play it. Here ya go!

lyrics

Devotion
by Kimmerjae & Sally Goodin
3/20/2023

You're golden staff for the golden calf
On a golden day
January
Did you hear him laugh
On his way to the bank
As he leaves you here
In a cheap red hat with an empty tank
Devotion looks away

He could rob you blind
& you don’t mind
Gotta prove what you're willin to do
For your crew
Go to the ends of the Earth
To the ends of the Flat Earth
Ya gonna jump off too?
Show me your devotion
Take it into the ocean
Maybe you could think about it
For a minute or two

High on fact-free Truth-Lite ready to fight
Ya feelin alright
Put up your dukes for the plastic Jesus
He knows how to please us
Foxen armies of 3D printed yes men
You get the blade
They got the pen
Guess who's goin out marchin
Don'tcha think about it
For a minute

Are you gonna cover his lonesome lies all day
He makes you feel okay
God knows he'd never lie to you

Line you up like dominos
In red hat rows of matches
Wooden stick matches
Red hat man with the blues in the park
Tossin sparks on a lark
Just to see who catches
Batten down the hatches
What if you could think about it
For a minute or two

Promises absolution from the absolute
When you dance to the flute he's playin
It's not you he's betrayin today

Who's the scariest spook in your closet
Slam that door because that
Greater Love might get in your way
Only gotta face your own soul
On some other Judgment Day
Don't even think about it

Gonna bow down now to the Trojan cow
& The greed that bleeds so late
Inside these nesting dolls of bosses
Too late to cut your losses
Celebrate every lie like a rug he's a pro
Go ahead make a show of your devotion
Take it into the ocean
You know he'd never lie to you

They could rob you blind
& You don’t mind
Gotta prove whatcha willin to do
For Team You

Go to the ends of the Earth
To the ends of the Flat Earth
You gonna jump off too?
Thats devotion
Take it into the ocean
Show me some devotion.
