Barbra Streisand to Trump in new song: Don't lie to me!
MESFIN FEKADU Associated Press•September 27, 2018
NEW YORK (AP) — When Barbra Streisand started writing lyrics for her new political song, "Don't Lie to Me," she initially aimed for "very subtle" references to President Donald Trump. But she couldn't help herself.
"I just went ballistic," she said.
"Don't Lie to Me," released Thursday, finds a passionate Streisand questioning the nation's leader and pleading for change. Lyrics include, "How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?/All that we built has come undone/How do you sleep when the world is burning?/Everyone answers to someone."
"I just can't stand what's going on," the Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winner said in an interview with The Associated Press in a phone interview Wednesday night. "His assault on our democracy, our institutions, our founders — I think we're in a fight. ... We're in a war for the soul of America."
"Don't Lie to Me" appears on her new album, "Walls," her first project of mainly original tracks since 2005. It will be released Nov. 2.
Streisand, a proud and outspoken Democrat who has campaigned for politicians over the years, said she felt moved to write original music because of what's happening in the world. Of "The Rain Will Fall" — another new song she co-wrote — she says, "You can spell rain several ways."
"But it's my prophecy," she said, laughing. "I hope it comes true."
"Don't Lie to Me" came to life during a road trip. Streisand said listening to the news in the car "was making me sick, listening to lies, listening to things that are such craziness." So she turned on music and felt motivated to write a new song.

Maybe she has a secret underground tunnel that provides access.
Well. according to what I heard on the Mike Gallagher Show, the President uses a My Pillow.
Coincidentally, I have just finished a song about Barbra Streisand. It's called, "No More BS."
bs
—That must really suck having an ocean view and no way to get down to the beach.
Maybe she has a secret underground tunnel that provides access.——
If global warming causes beach erosion and her house collapses into the sea, it’ll have been worth it.
In other news, contrary to rumor, Barbra Streisand is still alive.
“How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?... How do you sleep when the world is burning?”
she’s nicking Midnight Oil lyrics?
The time has come
To say fair’s fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact’s a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Only if she is in it at the time.
On the other hand, it does help to keep the annoying commoners away, many of whom are Trump voters.
Gawd, it’s wonderful to think of the lives President Trump’s election has upended. I am enjoying every second of her misery. Let it just eat at you, Babs, you sick old hag. hahahahahahahahaha
Have you ever noticed that none of the liberals who promised to move if Trump was elected said they'd go to Mexico?
Where is Streisand’s left hand?
Good idea, Babs. The Horst Wessel song was getting a little dated.
She’s still alive?? Who knew? What is she now, 95?
Good to see grandma keeping busy. Keeps her from fighting with the squirrels over their nuts.
I hope Men at Work plan on suing her for stealing their song.
didn’t she do a song called “Second-hand Nose”?
Jim Brolin, what were you thinking? She could be the most drop-dead gorgeous woman in the world and I would still ask that, because she has to be a real PITA to live with. To think he was once married to Jan Smithers of “WKRP in Cincinnati”.
