“Talkin’ Pandemic Blues”
Ladies and gentlemen listen to me
If you wanna stop the spread of disease
Use the crook of your elbow when you sneeze
And please please please heed the words of the CDC and the big cheese
Your mask ain’t gonna help you too much
Cause you ain’t gonna quarantine your mind
It’s just another thing we gotta get through
And hopefully we’ll be fine
Been through it before but by all means buy up all the disinfectant at the store
Ebola, Bird flu, sars and swine buying up all the sanitizer standing in the grocery store line coughing
Getting weird looks cause your eyes are real red they don’t know you’re just stoned outta yer head
Cholera, polio, measles, mumps
Don’t go out on the town if you’re feelin down in the dumps
Don’t shake hands, fist bump
And listen to the calming words of president trump
We don’t need doctors we don’t need science
We’ve got an expert of our own Vice President Mike Pence
As long as yer good with god you’ll be okay
Cause we’re all gonna pray this thing away
So the stores all out of toilet paper go ahead and use your socks
Or get a bidet and come judgement day you’ll have the cleanest rump in world when the grim reaper knocks
It’ll be sparkling, immaculate, talk of the town
What a rectum!
It don’t come from the beer or the Chinese buffet
You gotta protect yourself from fear and from the people who say the news told me to go in self quarantine form covid 19 get an AR-15 and 3 stacks of Lima beans and never to come out!
Abstain from making out with international tourists
Bathe yourself in purell all of you purists
Make those plans, wash your hands
Keep your head, cause virus or not someday we’re all gonna end up dead

“When Lockdown Lifts”
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna jump for joy
Gonna strut around town with all my brand new toys, Gonna spread love into the hearts of every girl and boy
And when lockdown lifts I'm gonna jump for joy
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna catch me a buzz, Gonna go out and have a few drinks just because, Gonna put on a record and see what these old feet does
And when lockdown lifts I'm gonna catch me a buzz
When lockdown lifts I'm feed all my friends
Gonna feed all my enemies too just to make amends, If everybody gets hungry I'm gonna feed em all again, When lockdown lifts I'm gonna feed all my friends
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna yell from the roof, gonna go down to the candy store to sooth my sweet tooth, I might even open up a kissing booth, when lockdown lifts I'm gonna yell from the roof
Chorus:
Gonna shout glory glory hallelujah x3
Praise the lord amen
Glory glory hallelujah hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah praise the lord amen
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna have a party, gonna drink a gallon of coca cola and bacardi, eat alot of crackers and Harvarti, when lockdown lifts I'm gonna have a party
When lockdown lifts gonna have a spitting contest, see who can spit the the farthest measure the distance to see who's the best, when lockdown lifts gonna have a spitting contests
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna hug a stranger, wont be scared about the danger, might be a nun or a park ranger, when lockdown lifts I'm hug a stranger
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna get me a haircut, might get a rat tail or a mohawk or a mullet, im overdue for one I tell you what, when lockdown lifts I'm gonna get a haircut
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna get drunk at the bar, gonna take a bunch of shots until I see stars, pass out in the backseat of my friends car, when lockdown lifts I'm gonna get drunk at the bar
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna thank me a nurse, for keeping me from riding in the big black hearse, for doing their job all through the worst when lockdown lifts im gonna thank me a nurse
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna tip my servers more I'm gonna tell how much I appreciate em at the grocery store gonna gonna write a nice letter to a doctor who waged the good war when lockdown lifts I'm gonna tip my servers more
When lockdown lifts I'm still gonna wash my hands for 20 seconds, cleanliness is next to godliness I reckon, it's the elderly and immunocompromised we ought to be protecting, when lockdown lifts I'm still gonna wash my hands for 20 seconds
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna go to the restaurant an have an 8 course meal
Order one of everything on the menu I'm gonna get my fill but you'll find me washing dishes in the kitchen after cause I cant pay my bill when lockdown lifts I'm gonna have an 8 course meal
When lockdown lifts I'm gonna appreciate you all more gonna stand there smiling and greet you at the door gonna shake hands with everyone until my arms get sore when lockdown lifts I'm gonna appreciate you more

Who Killed George Floyd?

“Who Killed George Floyd?”
Who killed George Floyd?
Wasn't this something we could avoid?
Justice for him and all who fell before
Which side of history are you on in this war?
An innocent man accused of writing a bad check
A crooked cop knelt on his neck
Are you surprised the murder of a man struck a nerve?
Is this how police protect and serve?
When the voiceless go unheard for so long
That's when you change the words to the song
Vocal cords raw from constant screams
Falling on deaf ears are our broken dreams
This houses foundation stands on a burial ground
No renovations will ever make it sound
How many more people have to killed
Before we tear the old tenement down and rebuild
Until then a lot of cities are gonna burn and be reduced to ash
But those things can be replaced with hard cash
A life is a precious thing once it's gone it's gone
I won't be the one to tell you they're wrong
Goons of the state stand tall in riot gear
While the oppressed shed pepper spray tears
While the folks at home blame the victim
You're either against em or you're with em
So which side are you on?

“How did we let it get this far?”
If we all die, I hope it doesn't happen too slow
I'll dry your eyes, you look so happy in the glow
We'll go deep underground, behind thick concrete walls
We'll be safe and sound when the free world falls
And though I know it'll never be the same
Our dirges we'll sing and we'll bow our heads in shame
How did we let it get this far?
How did we let it get this far?
When the power is gone and all we have is a few books
It won't be too long before we only have a few scraps to cook
Dinner from a tin can, I'm dreaming of bread it's getting to my head
In a hole that's made by man, cause everyone is dead
How long till we're back to the start?
This family can't stop tearing each other apart
What has happened tro our hearts?
What has happened to our hearts?
The world is dark and the hour is late
With a single spark we've sealed our fate
So many children and wives
Gone because of bloodlust
So many innocent lives
Reduced to dust
We've poisoned our home now nothing will grow
Now we're all alone we've got no place left to go
Why did we drop the bomb?
Why did we drop the bomb?
