about

Sunshine Party is a slice of history from a personal perspective during the time of the Trump presidency.

The Innocent Bystanders recorded Sunshine Party at Singing Serpent Studios in early 2020. Ben Nieberg, who wrote the song sings the lead vocal and plays both acoustic guitar and piano. Ben Moore recorded and mixed the song, and John Golden at Golden Mastering mastered it.

lyrics

Partisan and Kompromat
All the things that I do lack
Cling to your network, straight and strong
Belies the lies that done some wrong

In your sunshine party over principle (that roams thread bare)
Yes, you’re the sunshine party over principle
As you slouch towards the sea lake
While you lick all the sweet swampy plaything towards Bethlehem

Talking Heads fall truly flat
Travesty while courts are packed
Can’t wake from this full nightmare
Vacuous, Vicious tweets can’t bare

But you’re the sunshine party over principle as you draw red lines
Yes, you’re the sunshine party over principle
As you slouch towards the sea lake
While you lick all the sweet swampy plaything towards Bethlehem

It’s the fear that stays near that
Dictates why you appear so
Crippled in such deeds you play
Don’t fiddle while I burn away today
Just peddle wares where life is bleak
Four walls are scrolled to be the peak

Partisan and Kompromat
Windfall sting with public money flat
Dismantle all the goodness done
Pressing lies one by one

Cause you’re the party over principle there’s no limit how low you’ll go
Yes, you’re the sunshine party over principle
As you slouch towards the sea lake
While you lick your sweet swampy plaything to Bethlehem
