lirik lagu eli cash – protesting in a pandemic
protesting in a pandemic
lyrics by eli cash
intro:
don’t want n0body to die tonight
don’t want more people to die tonight
(repeat)
verse one:
2020 wasn’t funny but we’ll get the last laugh
cuz we never give up, we move past
next year’s gotta be better than that trash
cuz we’re sick of livin like a bunch of lab rats
one time for the frontline
and the real ones, not the crooked “one times”
we’ve had too much pain, not еnough wine
and enough gray, what’s up with the sunshinе?
cause there’s gotta be a better tomorrow, some other pattern to follow
come banish your motto, “the planet is hollow,”
when we look back with a clear head and a bottle
i hope it isn’t too hard to swallow
hold your bravado
pass the moscato as we celebrate the end
of a year of keeping distance from family and friends
now we’ve got another new chance to make amends
in hopes we transcend, and until we meet again…
chorus:
i never thought that year would end
i never thought that year would end
don’t ever wanna live that again
but we finally made it through to the end (yeah)
verse two:
now i don’t even cuss in my rhymes
but i’m sayin’ f~~k corona couple hundred thousand times
matter fact, f~~k trump and his whole administration
for making this so much worse than it had to be for the nation
middle fingers up for the mass incarceration
and the thirteenth amendment, extendin’ the plantation
i see a lot of white folks make excuses
but we need the real talk if we’re gonna push through this
it’s systemic, denying it is pathetic
people protesting even in a pandemic
if you don’t get it and think its’ all copacetic
then you’re either dumb & racist or you’re on the dianetics
it’s time for america to live up to its principles
cuz the way it’s going today it seems fictional
if its still the land of the free, is it conditional?
cuz putting any kid in a cage isn’t forgivable
maybe i should be in a cage for k!llin’ syllables
(i instantly regret that last line, its kinda pitiful)
but really though, for millions it isn’t livable
so i get p~ssed when it could’ve been preventable
everybody wears a mask metaphorically
but now we need a real one to go get your groceries
send good vibes, or pray, or grab your rosary
its time we all get free, how it’s supposed to be
bridge:
and we’re never going back now
cuz we gotta move on (hey)
and we’re never gonna back down
cuz the people too strong (hey)
(repeat)
chorus:
i never thought that year would end
i never thought that year would end
don’t ever wanna live that again
but we finally made it through to the end (yeah)
outro:
don’t want n0body to die tonight
don’t want more people to die tonight
(repeat)
