I created this for the weekly livecast protest show, “Moscow Mitch Monday” (name changed in 2021 to “Colonels of Truth”) for the Mitch McConnell Retirement Committee (name changed in 2021 to Progress Kentucky). I hoped that it would be a punchy and rousing anthem, setting the stage for a show that eventually would play a small part in helping send our Senator packing in November.
Siiiiigh…But at least the tune is still going strong like a thermos full of espresso…
(This is a retroactive post. I actually got around to publishing it on my site on 3/19/2021, but the music itself came out on 4/20/2020. In case you’re wondering.)
(Scroll down for lyrics…)
This is an acoustic version of my song coming out Spring 2018. Thanks to The Burlington Writers Workshop for the opportunity to debut it at the March 12 Open Mic night!
2012 and we were on thin ice
Weighed down by debt and couldn’t pay the price
No future for our city’s Internet
But then the people made a smarter bet
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
The energy’s showing
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
We know where we’re going
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
Keep the ball rolling
He got BT back on an even keel
Made things better for your bike and skateboard wheels
His middle name is “fiscal responsibility”
And works to grow our city’s diversity
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
The energy’s showing
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
We know where we’re going
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
Keep the ball rolling
A plan to make our infrastructure sustainable
And make affordable housing more attainable
Early learning, public health, and Net Zero, too
And every week he’s having coffee with you
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
The energy’s showing
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
We’re on a roll (oh, oh)
We know where we’re going
We’re voting Miro (oh, oh)
To keep the ball rolling
Keep the ball rolling
