Bumping the Gums

What did those spoke Mumbles just say? I dunno Dead air ... empty space, me no hear BTG fools don’t interest me Bumping the gums endlessly Rat-a-tat, tat talk that make your ears bleed They’re saying a lot of heavy nothing, with an empty, light trigger touch Incoherent lips mouthing something that don’t mean much Less than ant important ... verbal transmission with a broken clutch BTG fools be moving those lips, spraying the spit Chewing on another straw lie BTG fools be posing big-city slick, thinking citizen we be country farm hicks Playing potty mouth politricks — Tweet telling the people that nothing’s gonna blow Even tho’ the bomb is near the end of the wick Bumping those gums; buying more bump stocks, and selling more target practice time Tick, tick ... tick Lying, lying ... lying Bumping their gums, killer croc crying: Red-nose Reign D. Mumbles said, write a bullet letter coal stocking stuffed list And seal it with a sloppy mistletoe gunfire lead kiss Him Bad Santa Scrooge gon give all you little elves an automatic death wish BTG fools paradise are rotten cavity promises that do Ebenezer suffice

BTG: I gotta remember that - 'bumping the gums.' It's an apt description of what these guys are doing. ~Gershon
