Thursday April 16th
At this point, the clapping feels like a death rattle, and we're all feeling betrayed....
lyrics
To all the clerks who service the jerks who purchase all the toilet paper
So they can wipe their mouths and continue being chro nic masturbators
Just because you had no choice doesn’t mean you’re not brave
To take pity on those who scavenge pride from being the knave
They pretend they’re just like you; just as dependable
But to them you’re as essential as you’re expendable
To all the doctors and nurses expelling curses from all our souls
So we can sit and wait for the latest update from those in “control”
How much did you get for the medals you have to pawn
To keep those debt collectors off of your neighbors lawn?
Your sacrifice for their avarice is commendable
But to them you’re as essential as you’re expendable
To all takeaway providers, delivery drivers, and trash collectors
Keeping all us abstinent sinners alive within our sectors
Sorry we missed you out of all our thoughts and prayers
We can give applause to make you forget no one cares
For you it’s just another day barely spendable
‘Cause to them you’re as essential as you’re expendable
To the teachers inherent, and stay-at-home parents, doing their jobs
Who tread a fine line in dealing with snobs, slobs, mobs, and knobs
Your children shouldn’t be canaries for the waylay
As they flaunt their immunity down the motorway
You’ll suffer at the hands of independent variables
‘Cause to them you’re as essential as you’re expendable
To all my friends and family, weaving tapestry, keeping me sane
Who love me no matter how much weight I might lose or gain
Someday soon I will embrace you and you will know
I never felt I gave you enough to truly let you go
Though not every moment we shared was unforgettable
To them you’re as essential as you’re expendable
So to those in power, wet from golden showers, undeclared
We do not thank you for the few of us who remain spared
Enjoy the champagne you probably drink out of a baby’s skull
I learned that from your tabloids erect with vitriol
Enjoy not having to hide behind shame, so proudly despicable
‘Cause to us you’re as essential as you’re expendable
I don’t pity blue-bloods who barely look vestigial
To me you’re as essential as you’re expendable
