If we’ll all stay calm and just play dead
They’ll blame it on the virus
With COVID-19 on their side
They know they can control us
We hear them tell so many tales
We can’t know which is true
Gunshots, car wrecks or hundreds more
The virus was the due
For those poor souls who’ve left this earth
From the pandemic, that we know
Are so many fewer than what we’re told
Than the numbers they can show
They want us all to just believe
That our life is filled with dread
If we get close to our friends and kin
We just might end up dead
I hate that this plague came to us
I sorrow for those that are ill
But I know the statistics they’re giving us
Is to frighten us to their will
I think it’s time we all grew up
And act like wise adults
And cast away the angst spewed on us
By seeing the real results
It’s time that we demand the truth
Of how dreadful this really is
Is it atrocious enough to ruin our lives
And make our country fizz
I, for one, do not believe
That our people are so deficient
Of being able to control ourselves
Our choices should be sufficient
Of knowing how to protect ourselves
And our friends and family too
By living a different kind of life
He’s protecting me and you
