about

Like it says. Kind of sucks right?

lyrics

I dreamed that I had a dream, where I was quarantined
A novel virus going ‘round, they called it Covid-19
Some people say it’s a conspiracy
Some people say it’s because of 5G
Some people say let’s listen to Fauci
Well one thing I say is stay away from me

This is the time to Netflix and chill
If you stay at home you won’t get ill
We need to practice social distancing
So stay in and watch the Tiger King, Oh yeah

I had a tour with some Czars, but it got put on hold
I had some shows with Runescarred, but now we just don’t know
Some people say it will all go away
Some people say it’s just a sham anyway
Some people say we’ll see brighter days
Well one thing I say is please stay away

This is no time to gather in crowds
No time to be ignorant or proud
You could be the death of someone close
And not even know, Oh no

Now I’m going to the store, gotta put on my gloves, gotta put on my mask
Is this all based on hype, a media ploy or a plight, do we hide inside or go out protest?
Please don’t knock on my door, leave the package on the porch and I’ll wait three days, just to be safe
And I can’t believe, this is even happening, this has got to be a dream, this has got to be fake news
Oh no, this is the world we live in now
And it doesn’t seem real

I guess this is what it is, cause someone ate a raw bat
Or maybe that’s all a lie, and this came from a lab
But now it’s everywhere and people are dying
Tomorrow’s a question and normal a memory
Selfless leaders playing politics stand faltering
And in the end the sheeple are the pawns and the wolves are king
