Coronavirus - Tom MacDonald

I don’t know what to think about this virus

It started in China, now everybody in America is hidin'

There’s no groceries, 'cause people start to panic and buy it

The shelter empty, the ones who 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’re violent

The government’s lyin', they’re trying to 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 telling us or it’s nothing at all

But the schools shut down and ghosttowning them all

They go quarantine the city, block the road out of dodge

Then tell us leaving our homes is actually breaking 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 them «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 hoping 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 sticking together

It’s a ghost town
