On my way to work riding on my bike
An SUV came across me, nearly took my life
Though i was in the right, they were the one exploding
Wound down their window and started spewing
Stuff about entitlement and threats of killing
I thought of saying something, Then the owls words came over
Can't argue with an idiot, The Barking Owls says
Just get idiot comments when there's no capacity
The again we all get one of them crazy uncles
The one that claims to be, A political animal
But they don't like no constitutions, just totalitarian solutions
Thats not forgetting those racist auntys'
Sound real sweet but the tongues a bit nasty
You figure they have drifted, Could have their analysis shifted
Can't argue with an idiot, The Barking Owls says
Just get idiot comments when there's no capacity
No True Scotsman, And a Strawman
With a Texas Sharpshooter, On a Bandwagon
On a Slippery Slope, just Begging the Question
Can't argue with an idiot, The Barking Owls says
Just get idiot comments when there's no capacity
That's just what the Barking Owl said
Barking Owl ain't got not mask upon its head
Sometimes you just gotta listen to what the Barking Owl said

Advertiser blues, advertiser blues, advertiser blues, advertiser blues,
The platforming owning dudes, give you advertiser blues,
There influencers too, give you advertiser blues,
Place a bet and you lose, that's advertiser blues,
Bombarded with fake news, you got advertiser blues,
Advertiser blues, advertiser blues, advertiser blues, advertiser blues,
Advertiser blues, advertiser blues, advertiser blues, advertiser blues,
The platforming owning dudes, give you advertiser blues,
There influencers too, give you advertiser blues,
Place a bet and you lose, that's advertiser blues,
Bombarded with fake news, you got advertiser blues,
Advertiser blues, you bought uncomfortable shoes, advertiser blues, advertiser blues,
Advertiser blues, when they marginalise the truth, advertiser blues, advertiser blues,

Blake County and the Modern Proletariats Melbourne, Australia
Building from traditional progressions of the early country folk blues recordings; with the lyrics that are a tribute to Woody Guthrie, but not so much the sentimental stuff, more the satirical end of his work. Blake County and the Modern Proletariats are mostly singing contemporary commentary with the intention to amuse. ... more
