Quarantine

from Norman by Bradley Herr

lyrics

We're out here on our own,
Not meant to be alone.

Heard it today on a radio station
They say it's coming to cripple the nation
Don't know how long it'll take to touch down
There goes my state, there goes my town
Told not to worry, told to keep cool
Now it's at work, now it's at school
Started off safe, now we keep wondering
Can we keep this to the first couple hundred?

National swerve to flatten a curve
Hoarding essentials we need to conserve
Buying supplies to keep to themselves
Leaving us rummaging through empty shelves.
Look to the future, see nothing but grey,
How can the CDC help you today?
Scared for my kids and scared for my health,
I got no money to feed myself

Wearing a mask made from a shirt
Family tells me it won't even work
President says we should all carry on
Boom, it's a miracle look now it's gone
Oh, except nope see
It's getting worse in the land of the free
Look at you crooked if you start to sneeze
Buildings with maximum occupancies

Cut us a check for six dollars a day
Watch the economy crumble away
We lose our lives on the hands we were dealt
We pay your salaries, thanks for the help
Total stagnation, the state of the nation,
Where some feel the sickness but all the frustration
All of this noise, all this misinformation
Who do we standby in this situation?

Quarantine, quarantine
Every day's so boring see
Same shit different day
Wouldn't matter either way
Didn't get to graduate
Couldn't have my birthday cake
Living room kitchen
Bedroom wishing
Itching sleeping
Not housekeeping
Living inside this
Hiding from a virus
Shouldn't have bought that
I already watched that
Roped off playground
why is this life now?
