dos mil veinte
David Rees
2020
Home sports marathons
Cakes through video calls
School and university
Telecommuting in pajamas and from the couch
Mask to go to the subway
There's a very strange bug loose
Coronavirus, what's that about?
You're in the middle of a global pandemic
No party nights, no flying
Supermarkets without milk and rice
Hospitals are full
Hand sanitizer, the coolest
UFOs in the sky, the whole planet in quarantine
To the balcony to see what's happening, we don't know if the world is ending
When it seemed like the 3rd world war was coming
It was just Anonymous, back to social media
With Kanye West for President, he looked at me and I looked at her
Even on days when the sun doesn't come out, at least I can dance on TikTok
2020, came on strong
Pandemics and global disasters
You just want it to end
2020, is not forever
Pandemics and global disasters
Now we are stronger than before
Tsunamis, explosions, hurricanes, and planes
And volcanoes, earthquakes, floods
Let Australia not burn again
Poor plants, poor Koalas!
May the killer wasp not return
Or is there life on Venus?
Lately we feel lonely
Someone save us from everything
For those who are no longer here, I cried
For Black Panther and Kobe too
And for a kiss from the skinny one, I would give anything
For Pau Donés to return
We keep shouting Black Lives Matter
For George Floyd and those missing
Until there is justice, there will be no peace (there will be no peace)
And how difficult love is
In times of covid, forget it, I
Fear that flirting is not an option, and
My heart was broken (but)
I want to thank the one who broke it
Now I'm sure I'll find someone better
And all the songs you made me write
I dedicate them to you, my love
2020, came on strong
Pandemics and global disasters
You just want it to end
2020, is not forever
Pandemics and global disasters
Now we are stronger than before
Who here is the impostor?
I'm just a crewmate looking for my mission
Taking refuge in a song
Finding my place amidst all this chaos
And to the years to come, I only ask
Health and good vibes for you, for me, and for mine
More love, more art
More kisses, more hugging you
And when I'm older and old
Tell my children and grandchildren
The stories that this strange year has left us
No matter how many years go by
This stays engraved
