COVID-19 Rhapsody

Is this a sore throat?
Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown
No escape from reality

Don't touch your eyes
Just hand-sanitize, you see
I'm just a poor boy, no job security,
because of easy spread, even though
washed our hands, laying low,
I look on the Google,
curve doesn't look flatter to me, to me.

Mama, just killed a man.
I didn't stay inside, instead,
went to dinner, now they're dead.
Mama, life was so much fun
But now we've got to stay inside all day.

Mama, oooooh
Didn't mean to make them die
They won't be coming home this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
They didn't really matter.

Too late, the time has come
ICUs full all the time
making all the death rates climb.
Goodbye, everybody
Guess its not the flu
Gotta leave the past behind and face the truth.

Mama, oooooh
I just wanna cry
Sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhuetto of a man -
Immunize, force it twice,
let's price fix (it might work now?)
Security is tightening, very very frightening me

Gotta lay low x3
Martial law!

I'm just a poor boy, facing my mortality.

You're yet another one facing your mortality!

Spare us this life - from this monstrosity.
