1. since shelter in place
got nothing in the bank
stopped touching my face (mmm),
and stay six feet away (mmm)
i take my time with tasks
all my friends are sewing masks
my plans all got replaced
with sanitizing every space
but i keep on clinging
to my musical upbringing
hoping all this singing in your screen
will help it be alright

CH
we just gotta put each other first
and stay at home so it don’t get any worse
keep thanking all the folks who are hard at work so it tapers off tapers off
don’t spend all your time getting mad on twitter
pick up a pen and write your senator
or pop your head in on a struggling neighbor
til it tapers off tapers off

2. i never miss a Zoom,
i sterilized my broom
but sometimes the doom and gloom (mmm) keeps me stuck inside my room (mmm)
you’re not in this alone
just make the moves up as you go
be good to folks you know
and even the ones you don’t
but just remember
you’re your own defender
not just in November
people have the power
to make everything alright

CH

​it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about doom & gloom when you can't afford the emergency room
and you're terrified w/ chills cause your wages won't pay the bills

what big lies they tell
i'd rather live at the bates motel
than watch my country slip away
to the nra & the kkk
what big hypocrites
getting rich for the apocalypse
i gotta say, it's a scary day
now that putting kids in cages is the christian way

it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about horrifying putting predators in power and ignoring science
when every fox news line sends a shiver up & down my spine (boo)

what big lies they have
i'd rather jason chase me in a hockey mask
than watch rights get stripped away
for brown, trans, female, homeless, poor, or gay

what big hypocrites
placing blame on the journalists
aspiring to be like our enemies
& conspiring to murder our democracy
​
it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
here's what we're gonna do listen up now i'm talking to you
this red's gonna kill us dead so please vote blue

*written to the tune of “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid
 
i guess it's trump, what a crushing defeat
can't believe he's allowed in the president's seat
can't everyone see he's an ass - an ass who hates everything?
look at his team, dangers untold
how many disasters can one cabinet hold?
somebody pass me a drink, at this point i’ll drink anything
 
he hates brown people, gays, the disabled
he hates women and science and more
i was sure no one thought he was able
i was wrong, now I'm scared, of what's in store
 
i wanna be where the sheeple aren't
i wanna see humanity advancing
exercising your, what do you call it? oh - brain
grabbing pussies got trump this far
not paying taxes or his employees
bragging about, what's that word again? rape
sexual assault is not fucking fun, just ask his victims, every last one
the jock gets away and the best we can say:
rape's just part of our world
 
what would i give if i could live where people were smarter?
not pray away gay, or get in the way of a parenthood planned
don't you understand this is a man who has objectified his daughter? still there are women who voted him in, it's unreal as his tan
 
i'm not ready to reap what the people sow
we've got some questions, let's find the answers
starting with lessons we've already, i don't know…learned
when's it our turn? we know what we need:
to live in a land ruled by love and not greed
out of the debris, how about you and me take charge of our world?
