lyrics
I grew up waiting for the end of the world
And now it’s here - and I’m just bored,
Six shots deep on a Netflix couch,
If I was a bank - they’d bail me out.
I wanna be better than this.
Funny thing - it’s a beautiful day,
Spring sprung up anyway
I cut the grass - I feel ok,
I’m just bracing for the plague.
I wanna be better than this.
Liars, hoarders, crooks, and dopes,
We’re all strung from the same rope,
Wash your hands - don’t touch your face,
And your President’s a damn disgrace.
I’m not dumb on history,
The rich stay rich and we’ll all bleed,
How do you help your friends in need
When it’s all real-time on a FB feed?
***Venmo***
Baby- don’t give up on me.
Or the raw-ass nerve where my heart used to be,
Mourn the living, toast the dead,
Waffle House is index red.
Scatter and cover.
The news is bad - but if we’re doomed
Then I’m glad you’re the adult in the room
Dominos topple - enjoy the show,
Dumb hill to die on,
But here we go…
Tell me how you’ve really been,
I walk right past you now and then,
We’re both immersed in tiny screens,
I’m sorry that you’re quarantined with me...
