The Ballad of Covid-19

Chorus
Covid-19 you are so mean
You killed my music scene, you destroyed all the children’s dreams
Well I once knew a girl named Doreen
She liked to keep herself clean
She died of a ruptured spleen
The doctor said it was Covid-19
Chorus
Well I once knew a bartender named Dean
He was living the American Dream
They said he was non-essential, shoved him in quarantine
For Covid-19
Chorus (inst).
Bridge
Covid-19 is a scheme to ream all the people
Of everything! X2
Well I once knew a governor named Gavin
He did the most fucked up thing I’ve ever seen
He said no going back to normal even if there’s a vaccine
For… you guessed it… Covid-19
Chorus x 2

Bisbee, brother
Won’t you take me by the hand?
Take me to the promised land where we are free
Don’t know
What’s next
But I am here to stay
Until my dying day eternity
Left home one day
My hometown of LA
I had to get away from tyranny
Came here
That night
And instantly felt free
I knew right then this is where I want to be
Chorus:
For a hundred years the mining teams
Went inside the Copper Queen
Blasting out her riches from the rock
Those days are gone but the town survived
And in many ways, it thrived
Those rolling hills are filled with beauty
Inst.
Chorus
Bisbee, lover
Won’t you take me by the hand?
Take me to the promised land where we are free

I’m here to take a stand
I’m laying down the law of the land
Listen to my story things aren’t hunky-dory
You stretched until you broke the band
Chorus
And I’ve got issues with you
Issues of issues with you
I keep tearing tissues about all the misuse
I’ve got misuse, issues, tissues over you
That was the wrong thing that you did
It is not you that I kid
There’s a problem with your behavior
You are not our savior
So unto you, I flip my lid
Chorus
Bridge
How can it be so wrong when it feels so right
The bonds of love were broken by a blast of dynamite
It used to be fuck or fight
Now it’s only fight
So goodnight, sleep tight
Don’t let the bedbugs bite
We started out on the right path
Then the road diverged behind the grass
We came into a clearing your wratful head was rearing
And that was the start of the bloodbath
Chorus

I know your type
I know your kind
I know the spot where you are blind
I know your means
I know your ways
I’ve seen your vulgar axe displayed
Chorus:
You’d better look both ways (x3)
You’d better look both ways before you double cross me
I know your tricks
I know your games
The way you cheat is a shame
I know your friends
I know your kin
The way you treat them is a sin
Chorus
Bridge:
Well I’m just a sucker for a pretty face
Yours is just the finest I’ve seen
Don’t you dare cloud me up in disgrace
You’ll soon see what I mean
You’ll soon see that I’m mean!
I know what’s up
I know what’s down
I’m hearing rumors all around town
I know the scoop
I know the facts
I never let my guard relax
Chorus

Alone a Lot

|
Chorus
I’m alone a lot, I’m alone a lot
I’m alone a lot, I’m alone a lot
I’m alone a lot, I’m alone a lot
But I ain’t lonely
I wake up alone and I work from home
No one here but me
No mom or dad but I ain’t sad
So much to do and see
Piece of mind and lots of time
To do whatever I please
No one to say that you can’t play
Or bring you to your knees

Count Your Blessings
03:45
|
|||
|
Chorus
You’ve got to count your blessings every day
You’ve got to count your blessings every way
When you open your eyes you’ve got to realize
You’ve got to count your blessings every day
You know that life can be so doggone tough
Sometimes you feel that you have had enough
When you’re feeling down, take a look around
And count all the blessings that you’ve got

Cheaters Never Prosper

Cheaters never prosper, son
Even when it seems like they've won
They will get their payback on the way back
In the end, justice will be done!

One fine july day in Strasbourg France
Frau Troffea began to violently dance
There was no music in the air
She danced like she didn’t care
It was the strangest thing you ever seen
It was the Dancing Plague of 1518
Soon other folks in town started tappin’ their feet
They began dancing in the street
The local band started to play
In hopes it would go away
It was the strangest thing you ever seen
It was the Dancing Plague of 1518
Was it whisky in the water?
Ergot in the bread?
After days of non-stop dancing
People started dropping dead
X2
By the time that the month had passed
400 people were out there shaking their ass
Then as quick as it began, it suddenly came to an end
It was the strangest thing you’d ever seen
It was the Dancing Plague of 1518
Bring back, bring back the plague x 2
Bring back the Dancing Plague of 1518!

Bad is good
Wrong is right
Soon they’ll be saying day is night
Down is up
Right is left
Soon they’ll be saying there’s virtue in theft
I don’t understand, when did I land x2
on
Clown world
Clown world
Clown world
I want to run away from the circus now
True is false
Facts are lies
They’re taking all our rights in front of our eyes
East is West
North is South
Listen to the bullshit spewing out of their mouths
Clown world x 3
I want to run away from the circus now
Clown world x 3
I want to run away from the circus now
