I Won' - a musical celebration of COVID tyranny resistance

Yudi Sherman’s new song “I Won” is an ode to victorious resistance, celebrating his “win” of standing up to the intense COVID vaccine campaign of the past several years.

Sherman is a writer for Frontline News and has written several other songs as well. 

Backed by a catchy rock/country vibe, the unapologetic lyrics of “I Won” disparage the efforts of the vaccine mongers to “make me bend the knee” and take the shot. Sherman’s music video includes clips of such vaccine supporters as Arnold Schwarzenegger, NY governor Kathy Hochul, and KISS founder Gene Simmons making derogatory, threatening remarks aimed at the “unvaccinated”.  

To them, Sherman simply shakes his head and sings, "I won’t play your games.”

The song's chorus proudly declares: 

I won

I trumped all the powers that be

They tried to make me bend the knee

But were no match for me

I’m still standing where I said I’d be

While they’re lying on the field and struggling to breathe

You tried to knock me down

You tried to mess me up

You thought that you could poison my veins

You tried to come at me with your machine

Now you know I won’t play your games 

Sherman comments on his inspiration for writing this song at this time:

It's time to honor those who fought like hell over the last three years against the biggest machine in history. It took a lot from us—we lost friends, family, trust in authorities and in each other. But I think we haven’t stopped to look at what we accomplished.

We made Pfizer and Fauci dirty household names. We exposed corruption among our leaders. We made a laughing stock of Big Pharma and its friends in corporate media.

And we stood against the world’s most powerful governments, media and tech corporations. They threw at us everything they could and turned our family and friends against us. But we wouldn't break.

So to every person who refused to wear a mask, who violated lockdown, who refused the shots—recognize the incredible stand you made, the powerful force that you are. History will remember that you won. 

Like many, Sherman “bought into” the COVID narrative in the beginning. He relates that he almost got the shot but was stopped in his tracks upon learning that he would still be required to wear a mask post-vaccination. 

“I said, wait a second – either this works or it doesn't, and [the doctors] are like, ‘Well, yeah, it works but it also doesn't work.’”

At that, Sherman decided to put the vaccine on hold and observe for a while. It turned out that waiting wasn’t so easy:

I started getting a lot of flak from people in the streets. Just in the supermarket, people would walk up to me because this was when people started to get really, really crazy and it became very religious, the vaccine. And they'd ask me, ‘Are you vaccinated?’ And I'd say, ‘No,’ and they'd say, ‘Why not?’ I'd say, ‘Well, there's no long-term data. I don't know what it's gonna do to me and I don't need it.’

Like many others, Sherman and his family experienced discrimination due to their decision about the vaccine, ranging from Sherman being turned away from taking his driving test to his wife being refused surgery in the hospital. 

In spite of the difficulties, Sherman feels the victory of having stood his ground, and encourages others who resisted to celebrate along with him.
