[Tom MacDonald - Coronavirus lyrics]
I don't know what to think about this virus
It started in China
Now everybody in America's hiding
There's no groceries 'cause people start
To panic and buy it
The shelves are empty, the ones with plenty
Already stockpiling y'all making memes
Think it's funny? Wait a week 'til the riots
Wait a month 'til the only way
To eat is be violent
It's not the sickness that's scary
It's all the people who wilin'
The government's lying
They're tryna keep us calm through the sirens
We know it's for real
And now all the pharmaceutical giants
Don't have the cure that they can sell you
So now everyone's dying
There's no vaccines and medication made
That can fight it
I guess it's time to pray to God
We can't rely on the science
And everyone around me in a
Mask and some gloves
The stock market crashed
And the banks 'bout to bust
Tell us "sanitize our hands, this will pass
It's a bug stay inside
You'll be fine" 'til we're
Trapped there for months
It's a ghost town, we're in this together
They're closing all the stores down
We're headin' for shelter
It's a war, now they'll always remember
We're locking all our doors down
We're sticking together it's a ghost town
This a pandemic
But we don't listen to the news
'Cause they lied to us for years
So how we know that this the truth?
And most of us are young enough
To think that we're immune
So we just pass it on to people
Who won't survive it like you
It's either worse than they're tellin' us
Or it's nothin' at all
But the schools shut down and
Ghost townin' 'em all
They gon' quarantine the city
Block the road outta dodge
Then tell us leavin' our homes
Is actually breakin' the law
This is just the beginning
You know it's gotta get worse
If the doctors get sick
The hospitals won't work
The conspiracy theories all sound like facts
That's for sure but the fact is
We're trapped on this planet called Earth
And the bleach gone, the bread gone
The water sold out
The meat gone, the milk gone
The pasta sold out
Don't leave anything for anyone
You hoard it for yourself
You'd rather tell 'em "go to hell" than
Be a man and go and help
It's a ghost town, we're in this together
They're closing all the stores down
We're headin' for shelter
It's a war, now they'll always remember
We're locking all our doors down
We're sticking together it's a ghost town
We're hopin' for the best
But we're preparing for the worst
There's one thing we're not scared
Of: it's hard work
We're up against an enemy that
Doesn't have a face
There's no bombs we can drop
There's nowhere we can aim
There's no soldiers to stop with
A tank at the gates
There's no cure that we've got or
A pill we can take
There's no food, it's been bought
The truth is we're afraid
We sit inside our rooms, and we pray
It's a ghost town, we're in this together
They're closing all the stores down
We're headin' for shelter
It's a war, now they'll always remember
We're locking all our doors down
We're stickin' together it's a ghost town
It started in China
Now everybody in America's hiding
There's no groceries 'cause people start
