Oct 18, 2018 Matthew E. White By Christopher Roberts

Richmond, Virginia singer/producer Matthew E. White has shared a new protest song, “No Future In Our Frontman,” that takes aim at President Donald Trump. It launches a larger project where the song will be covered by 17 other artists, including Natalie Prass, Bedouine, and others. The versions will be spread across three EPs, each one released over the course of the next three Fridays, starting tomorrow (October 19) and ending on November 2 (a few days before the midterm elections). White’s version will also be released as a 7-inch single on November 2, with the B-side being an instrumental version of the song. Listen to White’s version below, followed by the full list of artists involved and the lyrics to the song.

White had this to say about the song in a press release: “I believe that Donald Trump is a corrupt, depraved and incapable leader. Along with being unconscionably egomaniacal, his presidency regularly traffics in our worst prejudices, peddles bigotry, and violently disregards truth by both encouraging ignorance and actively participating in deceit. This song is an acknowledgement of our current political disaster and a call for resistance.”

Proceeds from the project will go to charities benefiting voter participation and registration.

“No Future In Our Frontman” Lyrics:

There is no future in our frontman
There is no gracefulness to his song
There is no melody in his choir
And I refuse to sing along

There is no future in our frontman
There is no faithfulness in his words
There is no rhythm to his honky tonk
And I refuse to sing along
There is no future in our frontman at all

Star of the morning, fallen from heaven
There is no hopefulness in his dawn
There is no harmony in his Babylon
And I refuse to sing a long
There is no future in our frontman at all
