I Drink My Whiskey Neat (I Don't Like ICE)

b/w The Might Portland Frog

A song about a guy watching TV in a bar and changing his mind about what's going on. A sparse Prine-influenced arrangement of acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass.

"...short, sweet, sharp, and pointed.... Protest music doesn't need to be all heavy and serious." - Ether Diver, Other People's Music

Backed with The Mighty Portland Frog with full band instrumentation, because frogs gotta party.

I Drink My Whiskey Neat (I Don't Like ICE)

1/18/2026

Lately it’s been looking like they’re driving us to hell
Grabbing people out of cars and they throw ‘em in a cell
That’s if they’re lucky

Don’t know what to do about it but somebody’s gotta try
Walking past the demonstration, stopped in cuz my throat was dry
Bartender said, “whatcha drinkin’”

I like a cold draft beer
Tequila shots are nice
I drink my whiskey neat
Because I don’t like ICE

You can watch it on your TV, you can stream it on your phone
When you see it with your own eyes they’ll deny it to the bone
Who you gonna trust? 
Not your lyin’ eyes

Now it ain’t a revolution that I’m trying to incite
But the way I drink my whiskey is a First Amendment Right
Do what you must
See through the lies

I like a cold draft beer
Tequila shots are nice
I drink my whiskey neat
Because I don’t like ICE

I drink my whiskey neat
Because fuck ICE

The Mighty Portland Frog

A video was trending so they called up Kristi Noem, and
Said get up to Portland time to defend the homeland
“Everyone is laughing at me,” Leader monologued
“Go handle those protestors like you train a naughty dog”

The mighty Portland Frog
Is dancing in the night
And agents in full tactical
Shudder at the sight

We don’t need no weapons 
We just want dialog
But if you want to fight, you’ll face
The mighty Portland Frog

Kristi on the rooftop, conferring with her troops
A cosplay for the cameras to get content for Fox News

Pepper balls and tear gas filled the street with acrid fog
But when the smoke had cleared, there stood the mighty Portland Frog

The mighty Portland Frog
A beacon for the free
He’s weird and he’s American
As much as you and me

So post this scary video 
On your patriotic blog
Amphibian antifa,
The mighty Portland Frog

We’ve got the naked bicyclists as cavalry to ride
And if you’ve got a sense of humor you just might be on our side
Every day there comes another swarm of polliwogs
All following their leader, the mighty Portland Frog

The mighty Portland Frog
Is dancing in the night
And agents in full tactical
Shudder at the sight

The mighty Portland Frog
A beacon for the free
He’s weird and he’s American
As much as you and me

Amphibian antifa
The mighty Portland Frog
