A song about...who else?...Trump and a question, a guess and an answer about our future with this president. Written during that questionably intense period between Trump getting elected and taking office.

The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
The song is divided up into the standard verse, pre-chorus, and chorus sections (along with a bridge), where the verse asks the questions, the pre-chorus takes some guesses, and the chorus offers some answers. The bridge offers some conclusions and advice.
Lyrics
I wonder what the future might bring I wonder 'bout the lies of a man who would be king I question the wisdom of the choices we made I question the schism that's divided our states I guess we'll just have to wait and see I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings We got our answer by looking into his eyes We got our answer by listening to all his lies It's an answer I did not want to find It's an enhancer of the very worst kind ------------------------------ I wonder about all the changes to come I wonder about what has already begun I question the choices that are narrowing down I fear for the voices that are being drowned out I guess we'll just have to hope for the best But I'm still awful scared, of this I confess We got our answer from the patterns that emerged We got our answer by the actions of the herd It's an answer I can't seem to accept It's like playing a game of Russian roulette. BRIDGE: We've passed the point of exactly who to blame Batton the hatches we're in for some rain If we can't simply turn things around in time So teach your children to shout out what's on their minds *Solo 1* PreChorus I guess we'll just have to wait and see I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings Final Chorus x2 We got our answer by looking into his eyes We got our answer by listening to all his lies It's an answer I did not want to find It's an enhancer of the very worst kind It's a question, a guess and an answer But I question the guesses of those who would answer. It's a question, a guess and an answer But I question the guesses of those who would answer.
