Ain’t it a bitch? I’m seeing a lot of “goodbye america” speeches by various hosts and guests on TV today. Wondering if there’s something they know that we don’t…???
Yeah, “Goodbye America” is definitely popping up more — sounds like a mix of despair, warning, and gallows humor from folks watching the wheels come off. It’s the kind of phrase that shows up when a nation feels like it’s slipping into something unrecognizable: threats to democracy, rising authoritarianism, civil unrest bubbling under the surface, and everyone shouting past each other.
I’ve seen it used lately in a few ways:
-
Cable news and documentaries talking about the fall of American influence globally.
-
Satirical or protest media waving red flags about fascism rising — especially with Trump floating around again like a bad penny.
-
Online doomers predicting collapse — economy, environment, social order, take your pick.
Here’s My Remedy for World-Pain (Angst)
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, breathe in slow
Let the noise of the world let go
Find one light, one breath, one way
Make the world go away
[Chorus]
Make the world go away
Just one thought, let it stay
No time, no name, no day
Make the world go away
[Verse 2]
Hold your focus, soft and true
Let all else drift out of view
One small thing, and there you stay
Make the world go away
[Chorus]
Make the world go away
Just one thought, let it stay
No time, no name, no day
Make the world go away
[Outro]
Make the world go away
Let it softly fade away.
I’ll demo this song today in zoom.
