VERY EAGER to share my latest @suno track with y'all.... I've been for DECADES telling State name puns/jokes... repeated a few of them even on my podcast... NOW, an official anthem.... LOL...

Maybe will even build a CTP episode (Sat. ChristiTutionalist monologue) around the FUNIN' ...

STATES OF CONFUSION (USA)

https://suno.com/s/yXv0iNHVR5SSM4UK

[style: Outlaw country rock, satirical political humor, storytelling lyrics, gritty male vocals with attitude, twangy electric and acoustic guitars, pedal steel, driving mid-tempo beat, live band feel, humorous and sarcastic tone, raw production, slight Southern rock edge, like a mix of old-school country rock and modern satirical songwriting]

[Concept and Lyrics by: Joseph M Lenard (author/podcaster) with xAI/Grok assist expanding upon my State mock-name puns/plays. Music @suno system. [See too semi-related "PATRIOTS - THE PEOPLE, WE" (and other Pro-USA tunes) https://tinyurl.com/JLDonSUNO.]

[intro]

Welcome to the States of Confusion

U - S - of - A

United we sit, where once we used to Stand

all playing different tunes, no longer the same band

[Verse 1 – East Coast]

Woke up in Massachusetts, land of the free and the taxed

Harvard elites sippin' lattes, tellin' us how we should act

From Boston to Cambridge, it's all MassHysteria

Protests in the streets while they're countin' their hysteria

Yellin' 'bout tolerance, but cancel you quick if you disagree

Welcome to the People's Republic of "Do as I say, not as we..."

[Chorus]

We're livin' in the States of Confusion, coast to coast it's the same

Red states, blue states, everybody playin' the blame game

From sea to shinin' sea, it's one big comedy

States of Confusion — Lord, have mercy on me!

[Verse 2 – Middle]

Drive through Missouri, show-me state turned State of Misery

Gateway Arch standin' tall over meth labs and BBQ misery

Kansas City steaks, but the heartland's feelin' the squeeze

Flyover country gettin' forgotten while the coasts do as they please

Show me the money, show me the jobs, show me where the hope went

'Cause right now Missouri's just one long State of Misery lament

[Verse 3 – West Coast]

Then there's California — sorry, I mean Commiefornia dream

Where the stars all glitter and the taxes make you scream

Silicon Valley billionaires preachin' "save the planet" from their jets

While homeless tents line the sidewalks and the middle class just forgets

Legal weed in the morning, illegal everything by night

Commiefornia — where the sunshine's bright but the future ain't right

[Verse 4 – Michigan]

Now back to my own backyard, the great MICHagain

Once Motor City muscle, now rust and regret on the brain

Detroit went bankrupt, but the taxes still keep on risin'

Politicians promise jobs while the factories keep on closin'

Great Lakes glisten, but the economy's in the tank

MICHagain — yeah, we're tryin' real hard... but we just keep fallin' back

[Verse 5 – Illinois]

And don't get me started on Illinois — the State of ILLannoyed

Chicago corruption runnin' deep like that deep-dish void

Politicians grinnin' while the taxes keep on risin' high

Windy City blowin' smoke, makin' honest folks wanna cry

Springfield to the suburbs, everybody's gettin' fleeced

ILLannoyed as hell — yeah, this state's a straight-up beast

[Final Chorus – bigger]

We're livin' in the States of Confusion, from MassHysteria to Commiefornia shore

State of Misery in the middle, MICHagain and ILLannoyed forevermore

Red, blue, purple — we're all confused as can be

States of Confusion... but it's still the land of the free

[outro]

Lord, have mercy... States of Confusion...

yeah, that's now status of

"The People, We"
