We're Working Hard For You

(Dawn Isbell Wilson)

Working Hard for You is a satirical rock anthem that channels the spirit of 60’s/70’s protest music while skewering modern political hypocrisy. With biting verses that trace corruption from past scandals to present power, the song builds toward a sarcastic, chant like chorus where Congress brags about how they are working hard for us while doing nothing but lining their pockets.

Verse 
They used to go to prison 
For corruption, taking bribes 
And now they stay in power 
Where the law is not applied 
 
Verse 
They do not have to work 
But get paid just the same 
Passing laws that hurt us 
And never taking blame 
 
Chorus 
We’re working hard for you 
It’s what we do 
We’re working hard for you 
We thought you knew 
We’re working hard for you 
On your dime 
We’re working hard for you 
While doing crimes 
 
Verse 
They preach about our morals  
While hiding all their sins  
Condemning what they practice  
The cycle never ends 
 
Verse 
Their scandals fill the record 
From Teapot Dome till now 
And no one’s there to stop them 
As corruption takes a bow 
 
Bridge 
When perversion climbs the highest 
And justice takes a plunge

King of the White House

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This is just a silly song I felt like writing during these insane times when we, in the United States, are tottering between a wanna be monarch and complete economic collapse. I originally wrote this with the opening number in The Man of La Mancha in my head. Ultimately, these lyrics work well with a satirical, dark cabaret beat.

A Vow of Blood and Bone

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This song is loosely based on the poem Christabel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I had so much fun writing "She Walks the Graveyard" that I decided to create one with an even more Gothic theme. I found an old poem which I had, at first, intended to update for modern times but the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to keep the story, let alone modernize it. I love the Gothic theme of the poem, rich with moonlit woods, spectral presences, and ambiguous evil. However, as I started writing it, the more I wanted to twist the tale into something completely different. I hope you enjoy reading these lyrics when we enter into the season of pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and hobgoblins, or just whenever the mood strikes.

Keepers of the Flame

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This uplifting anthem celebrates the power of community and the enduring spark of hope. Through vivid imagery of rivers, forests, cities, and skies, the lyrics weave together a journey from darkness into light. The refrain, “We are the keepers of the flame”, becomes a rallying cry for unity, resilience, and shared purpose. Whether sung in a sanctuary, on a stage, or around a campfire, the song invites listeners to stand together, carry hope forward, and let their light shine for all to see.

tired of pain

By Laura Spendlingwimmer

I wrote this song after I broke up with my ex boyfriend - I was trying so hard on this relationship and I really wanted it to work but somehow I was the only one who was fighting - after the breakup I was so down and sad and heartbroken because I just wanted a love that lasts and that is real and this is what the song is about - I doubted myself being enough

Exit Interview with God

By Dawn Wilson

It has always disturbed me how some parents, children, or friends can calmly accept an idea that their loved ones might burn for an ETERNITY while they walk the streets of gold, playing harps, or whatever. It’s sad that so many millions of people cling to the cruellest, most horrendous god belief because they are afraid of hell. You have to be some kind of monster, yourself, to truly worship a god that would have created eternal torment for finite crimes. Especially, the crime of disbelief. If I actually believed for one moment that…wait, I honestly did believe it. For three years, from the age of 12 to 15, I was tormented by the idea of my family being tortured forever and ever. Their only crime? Disbelief. I was willing to suffer that same fate because the idea of a heaven without them was unthinkable to me. When I left the church, I fully believed I would go to hell and I didn’t care because I was done worshipping a monster.

High-Achiever

By Stavroula Mitsea

A look inside the life of a “perfect” overachiever who’s mastered the art of smiling through pressure, even as their dreams fade and the mask gets harder to hold up.
