I wanna kiss you but I cant with that virus at hand
this date will have to be a dry one I'm sure you'll understand
i wanna take you home my whole apartment's sanitized
i respond to all request just baby not tonight

*chorus*

2020 when all went viral and we had to retreat in silence
will you share, one cross to bear
can you play for the team, will you dare?
some got lucky, some did not
some took a step back, some somebody else's spot
some got diapers, some got coffins
some let the dogs loose, some let the love in

*

some got gasoline, some got guns
don't we love an excuse to grab what we want
fill up your belly, your xenophobia
It's a long, long story and it ain't over

long long lines, a pushin and a shovin
survivin on platitutes & online lovin'
is it a sign? it just a disease?
if we slip on the truth, we stick to belief

empty shelves, leave nothing for nobody else
you drown in supplies, chicken wings and fries
take a dump, wipe your ass, feel the pride as you tear
that piece of toilet paper that you don't have to share

this is trickery, so let us regroup to (DEEP VOX)
hoard and board up the windows, leave but a loophole
as all over the country hooters' on hiatus
we get ready to shoot should the looters invade us

I got my N95, breathe like a bad motherfucker
stashed in the basement wire trapped and well locked up
troubled times, troubled rhymes, partial crime, martial law
you better be cautious when you stretch out your paws

it's a chinese virus, now that's a bit of a cleaver
study your receiver, and pick up a believer
I know all you wish, is to peel your banana
but show a quantum of manners at least cough in your bandana
---
fingers pointed, convinced of your innocence
official blame for your personal ignorance
I had a laugh till I got slapped in the face
the path of the privileged, the righteous mistakes

the whole place shut down, the press is on fire
piss your pants wash your hands put your clothes in the dryer
spread the word, spread the virus, sensational desires
needlessly heedless, we are what we respire

information wave, the patient's selective
the papers put all my follies into perspective
affection is good, their protection is better
they're all bat shit crazy I'm but mad as a hatter

I'd packed grand ideas and had headed out on a mission
not even corona can cure the human condition
In this world full of shit, I crave your kiss of relief
it's a long long story but the gist is brief / grief

Now Is somebody's reaching way deep in your wallet
Patrolling the streets, the cover is solid
Skimming sizable slizes compulsory pay out
Some get fucked in the ass, others get bailed out

Bank bank bank, yes it's always the bank
Just in case you're wondering who you should thank
Pretty please, big cheese, what a moment to smile
Cause it might just be that we won't in a long while

beloved hollywood you're awfully quiet,
I love it I do but are you brewing a riot?
the wild return the hills will burn
will the stars all fall and the tables turn?

mad mirage, this is not an oasis
say, how much rent are we from homeostasis
home alone but in corona's good graces,
as rome alone burns with too many cases

the drone of the tv, the headlines are throbbing
the couches are sagging, the arteries clogging
we retreat into dusk to rest for a new day
once we take off the masks we can learn from our mistakes

a time for change a time for reflection
will priorities prevail, post erection
outbreak outrage outtake I know
I can see through your act "cause I'm related to you

monkey woman, I am a monkey too
i too got lost in the jungle and I've tried every fruit
Mesmerized normalized is this my time to heal
I must burn to return to the things that are real

You know, I've struggled and faltered on curious excursions
And I'll cut you the slack, now I know you, too, deserve it
why don't we pull together, and get a little better
cause if we blame one another we will only get sadder

here's a chance for you and I to move on
and value the things we did right and did wrong
so I hope you and I stay well, warm and healthy
clean up our minds, understand what real wealth is

I got my N99 and I breathe like a king
as the birds return to the cities and sing
from the top of the trees at the top of their lungs
never holding a grudge inspite all that we've done
