NV- BANTHEM (Free verse)
Lyrics:
We’ve got a liquor BAN, they even tried a beef BAN, and with all these apology letters it’s like we got a speech BAN, i mean, how long are we gonna put up with this? I think it’s time we fight back. Are you ready?
We are a few BANs away from a BANana republic, this is horrific,
whatever happened to my rights to choose what I consume.
They’re making a mockery of democracy,
where crooks and BANdits are protected,
and all of their crimes go undetected;
as long as you ride their BANdwagon, nothing will ever happen, Roads with potholes don’t concern those in G wagons.
So many BANs from up north to BANgalore,
While BANgladeshi illegals come to a place with BANs galore.
There’s not much to be thankful for, So leave me alone to handle my business, you handle yours,
The damage is done, why put a BANdaid on a gunshot, why BANkroll a situation that’s so BANkrupt,
Yall need to catch up, let me help increase your BANdwith, damnit, they might even BAN this, maybe even have me BANished, but I’m famished cause im hungry for some changes,
I’m not chasing after praises,
I’m not scared of all these dangers,
They’ve got BANshees I’ve got angels.
Switch
Offer these cowards some BANgles or tell them it’s time to man up,
Why do we need this BANger, and all of this anger in order to get them to stand up?
Man they’re robbing you off your rights,
Dont let them see you put your hands up,
Too much talking, not enough walking,
So I guess now its time to hang up
They tell me, watch how you talk, young mister
I tell them, watch how you walk cause when you’re on top, there ain’t no BANister,
Meanwhile they host BANquets, funded by illegal rackets, but as soon as they play their BANjo y’all start dancing like some puppets. Stop it!
