ABOUT THE SONG
\nStyle: ExperiMental Music
\nRecording: digital 4-track stereo<\/p>\nInspired to cover this song on the day the Pope called-out Trump:
\nSo the Pope jumped on the fence and yelled at the Donald,
\n“Hey! What gives you the right?”
\n“To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in”
\n“If God was here he’d tell you to your face, Man, you’re some kinda sinner”<\/p>\nVocals, Guitar, Keyboards, Synthesizers (microKorg, Korg N364, Yamaha PSR-740, Casio WK-3500, miniNova, Boss BR-600, DigiTech RP3)<\/p>\n
