The Bro-mericana Song
©2014 FTM Satire
Drove my El Camino
Down past the silo
Pulled into the party spot
Cracked a Blue Ribbon
Lit up a Spirit
Asked if anyone had some pot
This is my bro-mericana song
Break out the banjos, break out the bongs
Groom your beard and sing along
This is the bro-mericana song
We talk politics
Crank up some Deer Tick
And take ourselves real serious
The girls are all tattooed
And I defy any dude
To mention one's gluteus
This is my bro-mericana song
Break out the guitars, get our folk on
Groom your beard and sing along
This is the bro-mericana song
Bridge
No flat brims, no jacked trucks
Just pearl snaps and Levi Strauss
Careful where you park your Prius
Nobody here can pull you out
This is my bro-mericana song
Break out the dobro, break out the bongs
Groom your beard and sing along
This is the bro-mericana song
Funny.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like in our culture today people are easily categorized into little tribes or "lifestyle groups" based on superficial associations. You have your Bro-Country Bros, Indie Rock Hipsters, EDM heads, and apparently Americana bros, or whatever sort of group you are describing here.
I want to say this type of fragmentation is a product of our modern, increasingly mediated lives, but it may be that society has always been that way, and I am too young to tell.
