Sonya Jevette / Adrian Conner "Goon" World Premiere
"Goon"

Coyote Music is proud to present "Goon," the world premiere of the lyric video for the collaboration between Sonya Jevette and Adrian Conner.  After the year that was 2020--where the pandemic, social injustice, the Black Lives Matter movement and so much more all collided head-on with the presidential election--then seemed to culminate with the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol...Sonya and Adrian put their feelings to words, music, and this visual representation. Please watch, listen, and share what we believe to be one of the many important artistic responses to the hatred, fear, and injustice that have overwhelmed our news feeds over the past year.

Lyrics

SONYA: Looka here, looka here
I got my feet up on the desk, Bubba’s got his knee in your chest

ADRIAN: It’s a free country for me not you

SONYA: I got my feet up on the desk,

ADRIAN: When will I learn that’s what my actions prove

SONYA: Bubba’s got his knee in your neck

ADRIAN: It’s a free country for me not you

SONYA: Karens and Kevin making calls

ADRIAN: When will I learn that’s what my actions prove
What I read keeps us divided
It’s like I’m at a party where I wasn’t invited
I’m on the outside when I want to belong
But I seem to wish that things go wrong
For folks that disagree with me
I just don’t have the energy
To let you be you
And me be me
Cause when you are you
You threaten me

SONYA: I got my feet up on the desk, Bubba’s got his knee in your chest

ADRIAN: Gonna keep a free country for me not you

SONYA: I got my feet up on the desk, Bubba’s got his knee in your chest

ADRIAN: This is what my actions prove

SONYA: Karens and Kevin making calls while Covid’s tryin to kill us all

[breakdown; guitar solo]

ADRIAN: It’s okay for me to spit my vitriol
Cause I’m the one who knows it all

SONYA: I got my feet up on the desk, Bubba’s got his knee in your chest

ADRIAN: There’s no way there’s another “truth”
And I got the right to fight the folks in blue. Not you.

SONYA: I Got the right to fight, the folks in blue cause it’s a free country for me not you
Karens and Kevin making calls while Covid’s tryin to kill us all
