“Shelter in Place” is about the gig workers who don’t have the luxury of working from home during a pandemic, the delivery drivers and grocery pickers who risk getting sick or dying so the more fortunate can shelter in place, and how this pandemic has finally revealed the fatal design flaw in the engine of American empire: the exploitation of labor by capital. Rock!

On the day when the world got very small
The ones who counted counted on the ones who didn’t count at all
Sheltering in places where we’d never see their faces 
Thinking if we got the sickness 
They could easily replace us

And oh my life 
Delivering the packages so you won’t die
But what if I die
What if I die

My life
Picking out your groceries so you won’t die

Now they need adrenochrome
Leave it by the entrance of their stately second home
The missus needs cut flowers
Get them there within the hour 
Then you’ll go home and burn your clothes 
And kiss the kids goodnight

My life 
Delivering you packages so you won’t die
But what if I die

Look out look out
Watch out watch out
You don’t know it’s over now
But they’re ringing the doorbell 
And they’re coming for you...
