Isolated, frustrated
I’m barely alive
I’m so lazy, going stir crazy
How will I survive?
Need a savior from my behavior
To wake me from this dream
I’ve got reliance on the science
I gotta get a vaccine
Please set me free
From my prison cell
No, I’m not doing well
It’s plain to see
What it’s doing to me, yeah
There is no measure of the treasure
That comes in a vial
I’m sold on that liquid gold
I’ve waited quite a while
I’m too elated to be sedated
It’s a dream come true
Give me a stick so I won’t get sick
Then I’ll be with you
Please set me free
From my prison cell
No, I’m not doing well
It’s plain to see
What it’s doing to me, yeah
All this time I’ve been locked inside
I’ve been wondering if we’ll all survive
Spending all that time alone
Never leaving home sweet home
I need something to break the spell
And get out of this living hell
I need a shot to set me free
Gotta get that vaccine into me, yeah
Please set me free
From my prison cell
No, I’m not doing well
It’s plain to see
What it’s doing to me, yeah
Please set me free
From my prison cell
No, I’m not doing well
It’s plain to see
What it’s doing to me, yeah

Well you’re a year older
Or so it would seem
It’s hard to keep track of time
When you’re in quarantine
Maybe you’re a year wiser
Maybe another year young
Not sure if we will all be older
When this lockdown is done
Happy quarantine birthday to you
And it’s been a long damn year, it’s true
It’s been such a long time
Since we’ve seen our friends
We’re going to throw a great big party
When this whole thing ends
It’ll be a celebration
For all the things we’ve missed
And we’ll sing happy birthday
We’ll all give you a kiss
Happy quarantine birthday to you
And it’s been a long damn year, it’s true
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you
And my best wishes too
Next year we’ll do it all over
Like it’s all brand new
Happy quarantine birthday to you
And it’s been a long damn year, it’s true
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you
And my best wishes too
Next year we’ll do it all over
Like it’s all brand new
Happy Birthday…

Words Matter
03:24

When I was a young man
I believed the words
I knew fact from fiction
The truth from the absurd
So I took a journey
Into life unknown
But the words around me
I could not condone
Somebody’s listening
Someone believes
Some words are spreading like
Some damned disease
Some words go on and on
And never seem to cease
Some words cause trouble
Some words bring peace
But words matter
Yes, they do
Words matter
Yes, it’s true
As I got older
I lost my trust
Couldn’t see the desert
Through all the swirling dust
And as I breached the summit
And surveyed the land
I could see so many things
I didn’t understand
Somebody’s listening
Someone believes
Some words are spreading like
Some damned disease
Some words go on and on
And never seem to cease
Some words cause trouble
Some words bring peace
But words matter
Yes, they do
Words matter
Yes, it’s true
But words matter
Yes, they do
Words matter
Yes, it’s true
Somebody’s listening
Someone believes
Some words are spreading like
Some damned disease
Some words go on and on
And never seem to cease
Some words cause trouble
Some words bring peace
Words matter…

Am I Just Dreaming?
03:22
|

Can’t tell if I’m sleeping
Can’t tell if it’s all a dream
Is it all a nightmare?
Is it as bad as it seems?
Pretty sure I’m not dreaming
Pretty sure that I’m awake
Is it all reality?
Or is it all just fake?
Now I lay me down to sleep
Into my mind the shadows creep
I can’t decide just what is real
When everything is so surreal
Am I just dreaming?
Am I just dreaming?
Was there a madman
Who was running the big show?
Was there a lockdown
And nowhere we could go?
Was there a riot?
Was there brutality?
Was the world on fire
As far as we could see?
Now I lay me down to sleep
Into my mind the shadows creep
I can’t decide just what is real
When everything is so surreal
And when I sleep at night
My brain is wide awake
Don’t know how much of this
My weary soul can take
And in the daylight
It’s very much the same
All this uncertainty
Is driving me insane
Am I just dreaming?
Am I just dreaming?
Now I lay me down to sleep
Into my mind the shadows creep
I can’t decide just what is real
When everything is so surreal
Am I just dreaming?
Am I just dreaming?

There goes shotgun Sally
Down to the political rally
She’s got her flags, but she’s got no mask
She’s gotta point to make
She thinks all the news is fake
Some compassion is just too much to ask
We’re on lockdown
Really gettin’ to me
We’re on lockdown
Gotta get myself free
It’s crying shame
It’s got me on my knees
In a prison of our own design
To keep out the disease
There goes the conspiracy dude
And he’s in an awful mood
He thinks the world is out to get him
It’s not worth talking about
All he’s gonna do is shout
Reality to him is some sort of sin
We’re on lockdown
Really gettin’ to me
We’re on lockdown
Gotta get myself free
It’s crying shame
It’s got me on my knees
In a prison of our own design
To keep out the disease
It’s crying shame
It’s got me on my knees
In a prison of our own design
To keep out the disease
It’s crying shame
It’s got me on my knees
In a prison of our own design
To keep out the disease

Sitting here in my box
Behind all my different locks
Wondering if I’ll get sick today
Breathing heavy behind my mask
Being careful with every task
While my brain begins to slowly decay
It’s alright. It’s OK.
The President said it will all go away
No vaccine and no pills
Just battle of the wills
Everybody stay six feet away
Might as well be six feet underground
Just enough to get you down
Don’t listen to what all the haters say
It’s alright. It’s OK
It’s time to go outside and play
COVID Blues
Got that COVID Blues
One more time around the block
Wash my hands and check the clock
Time for that video chat today
I don’t mind working from home
I just don’t like being alone
Trying to fight off all of my dismay
It’s alright. It’s OK.
We’re gonna get through this one day
COVID Blues
Got that COVID Blues

Time will tell
If I go to hell
Or if I go
To heaven
But it will have to wait
Because I’m feeling great
And I plan
To live forever
I’m not in denial
I plan to be here awhile
I’m not going anywhere
Time will have to catch me
Because I’ve been set free
And I plan to live forever
I thought I was done
But that wasn’t any fun
Living life
Like it’s over
But I’ve changed my mind
I’m moving out of time
And I plan
To live forever
I’m not in denial
I plan to be here awhile
I’m not going anywhere
Time will have to catch me
Because I’ve been set free
And I plan to live forever
I’m not in denial
I plan to be here awhile
I’m not going anywhere
Time will have to catch me
Because I’ve been set free
And I plan to live forever
Time will tell
If I go to hell
Or if I go
To heaven
But it will have to wait
Because I’m feeling great
And I plan
To live forever
I’m not in denial
I plan to be here awhile
I’m not going anywhere
Time will have to catch me
Because I’ve been set free
And I plan to live forever
I plan to live forever
Live forever
Live forever…
