hanif abdurraqib – washington bullets كلمات اغاني

[stanza 1]
mich-lle obama loves punk rock music;
rolls her eyes when barack picks yet another stevie wonder standard
to stroll out to during campaign stops
would likely appreciate the irony of coming out
to a dead kennedy song;
the rest of the county, likely would not
she turns it up so loud in the lonely mornings;
lets is pogo off every wall in the red room
until everything becomes a murder scene of expensive portraits
and smiles so forced, you could press charges off of her

[stanza 2]
she sings along to the clash’s -“i am so bored with the usa”
over her morning cereal–sh-t
back in ’77, when songs about girls
k!lled more dance floors than songs about politics
the clash called that thing “i am so bored with you”
mich-lle obama does not know this
even if she did, she would still sing about
how bored she was with the usa

[stanza 3]
when her daughter’s captain crunch cuts the roof of her mouth
as it wants to do
the blood always builds entire neighborhoods back there
she never spits it out;
she names it “south-side chicago”
and it’s the toughest thing for her to swallow
every day
mich-lle obama loves the taste of her own blood
would eat captain crunch three meals a day
if it could remind her of home for long enough to make her feel invincible
wraps her br-ss knuckles in strips of jackie kennedy’s whitehouse portraits
and puts it in her purse before she leaves

[stanza 4]
considers, what it must be like to watch pieces of your husband
slide down the back of a midnight-blue lincoln
like it’s an amus-m-nt-park ride
sends frantic emails to hillary clinton, in all-caps
that just say: “godd-mn woman, how’d you survive it?
i need a smoke; what’s a girl got to do to get a cigar around here?”
hillary forwards those emails to bill
bill never gets the joke

[stanza 5]
music fact:
jackie kennedy once said that the last thing
to cross her mind as her husband’s mind crossed her lap
after 6.5 millimeters of new america turned her into the prettiest widow in east texas
was how nice, red roses permeate
london-based punk band the pogues named their debut album -“red roses”-
even put a picture of jfk on the cover;
good kids, pretty good album
mich-lle obama does know this
thinks it’s the best album
prefers sunflowers to roses
sunflowers large enough to hide behind
some mornings, doesn’t listen to the dead kennedies at all
turns up the pogues loud enough to scare racists out of dallas clock-towers
cuddles up to barack at night and says:
“baby, they don’t make music like they used to”

[stanza 6]
still has the taste of blood in her mouth
when she double-dutches with south-side girls
who rotate rope swings at her neck
like the blades of a hand mixer
mich-lle obama has a great voice, you know
could blow the voice off this motherf-cker like aretha clean!
you know
screams things at pillows and turns american flags upside down
on homes in northern virginia
she does all of this before noon
it scares the dog
