How is everybody doing? In the Fall of 2020, a song to document our times, a shout for hope and a cry for help. We can create a better future but never forget this present. We all need to Take Action!

lyrics

Good morning friends, nice to see you again
Things might be worse than we can comprehend
It's OK if all you want to do is cry
From A to B to C to Death
Where are you in your alphabet?
Mail me your letter, hope to see it before we die

Check 1-2
The world's gone mad
We're tired of being tired and being so sad
Look over there (where?) here comes Another Distraction
Check 1-2
Is this thing on?
Hope you can hear me, hope you're staying strong
No time to wait (no!) we all need to take action

So now it's back to school, authoritarian rule
At least your designer mask looks cool
I couldn't write a Hollywood script less real
Feel like a month in a day, a year in a week
We got no paddle but we're up the creek
Election time - let's see what they try to steal

Check 1-2
The world's gone mad
We're tired of being tired and being so sad
Look over there (where?) here comes Another Distraction
Check 1-2
Is this thing on?
Hope you can hear me, hope you're staying strong
No time to wait (no!) we all need to take action

The more we test shows the more we lack
They don't trust science, got alternative facts
And wolf whistles for those that would do their bidding
With partisan news, meant to confuse
Just keep that bull____ off of my shoes
We're alive but it don't feel like living

Check 1-2
The world's gone mad
We're tired of being tired and being so sad
Look over there (where?) here comes Another Distraction
Check 1-2
Is this thing on?
Hope you can hear me, hope you're staying strong
No time to wait (no!) we all need to take action
