You will find Dominoes Down on the Never Forever album. BRAce yourself… it opens loud!

Dominoes Down

According to my file dates, this song was first developed in early May 2020 meaning I probably conceived the subject matter in April. The song is - admittedly - almost directly aimed at Trump who is a disaster as POTUS, in my opinion. I have thought so since telling a friend so back in mid 2015 when he said he was running for the office. By this story, I was feeling pretty confident that the people of the country would show him out for his corruption and incompetence. As I write this note here, Joe Biden will become POTUS tomorrow morning so… I was right - thankfully. Anyway, this song describes the man to a tee in my opinion. What is to come is to watch how hard he falls. All that said, the song applies to any Dictator of any sort. This song is kind of a companion song to The King of Nothing and I Told You

Well, look at you today, you told another lie
D                     G                     AsusA             D

Yeah, surprise, surprise, you didn’t even try

A                     Bm                  G                     A
We heard someone ask again for your helping hand

D                     Bm                  E                     A         
And we heard you tell them, get off my land
D D C G D D C G

Yeah, once again today, you hurt your friend
Once again, we heard you say, “you’d never bend”
Onto the street, we see you throw your tons of trash
We know that somewhere, you hide your precious cash

Once again tomorrow, you’re gunna cheat defeat
And you will have to break all the rules you should meet
Nothing ever stops you ‘cause some fools made you the boss
Your petty little gains are everyone else’s loss   

F                                  D
My, my, nasty little man 
G                                             C
Dance to the cheers of the crippled few
A#                               D
Dance and laugh while you can 
E                                 A                     
Your time is nearly through 
D D C G D D C G

We find it pathetic that everything you do
Has no greater purpose than be a monument to you
They’re like little statues you stand up in a row
You want us to see them ... we see, we know

Yeah we can see them, we see your little prizes
We see them all as dominoes, a long line of lies
We are gunna judge one day everything you have done
We will topple all your trophies ... one by one. 

Bye bye, dirty little man
You have no clue what you’ve done 
Dance and laugh while you can 
Your dominoes are coming down.
