lyrics

I think, back home
They don’t care
St. Patty’s full tilt Snacks on a table to share
I mean, they didn’t even cancel the seafood fair
Act like there isn’t a disease in the air
We’ll foot the bill for this, and for once,
It’s single-payer
You’ll take a chance for a drink and a dance
But that same risk wasn’t worth going out to vote to you
Cause ten pages of obits in Italy chalked up to Covid still kinda sounds like a hoax to you.
Come talk to me after your Costco can’t sell soap to you
After ignorance can’t give hope to you
And the kids you invited for spring break end up choking you
Cause they all looked just like gold to you
We are the young and the able-bodied
Carry this filth like a kamikaze
Maybe we’re wrong, this’ll all be good
And you won’t drown alone like Natalie Wood
Knock down some lady who’s 80 and buy all the charmin your Prius’s trunk space said you could

I think, outside, they don’t care
Smushed in close for a selfie, drinks in the air
That’s half the mindset of ‘Be thankful it’s there while it’s there’
And half the mindset of
‘I don’t give a shit about you or your kids or your parents.
But I promise you, kitten, this is not a joke,
And it’s nothing rareThis is not a hoax,
But it was surely a test.
One for which we were unprepared
One in which we will fight for air
One in which we will lie to save face on a global scale
And endanger the lives of the people who take at face value advice from their government
Which ended with dozens of passengers shoved into passageways shoulder to shoulder for ten hours over
Holding their breathOr expelling corona
In a winding trail
The sick and the well continued to mingle and spiral
This is the signal that lights in the wake of the viral
This was the test.
Let’s hope it wasn’t our finals.
