LYRICS
Look at this desk
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my home office’s
complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm a girl
Who doesn’t have COVID19?
Look at this pantry
Treasures untold
Just how much TP can one cabinet hold?
Look at my stockpile you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything
I've got soup cans and ground beef aplenty
I've got cheese-its and fruit snacks galore
(You want chicken kebabs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
Covid’s here,
I want more
I want to be where the groceries are
I want to see
want to see 'em stocking
Separated by at least
(What is it again?) six feet
In quarantine you don't get too far
Masks are required for interacting
Strollin' along down an empty
(What's that word?) street
Out where we’d talk
And get work done
Back when delivery pizza was fun
Breathing so free
Wish I could be
Part of our world
What would I give
If I could live
Out of my office?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Without my kids?
Angry orange man
Can’t understand
Why we’d want Universal Healthcare
Broken system
Excuse switch’n
They’ve got no plan
And I’m ready to know what the CDC knows
Ask 'em some questions
And get no answers
What's a virus, and what are those
(What's the word?) germs?
When's it my turn
to get a test?
And is this really our governments best?
No quarantine
Wish I could be
Part of our world
