La Canción Del 2020
David Rees
The Song of 2020
Home sports marathons
And cakes through video calls
School and university
You telecommute 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
There are 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
And when it seemed like the third world war was coming
It was just Anonymous returning to social media
With Kanye West for president
He looked at me and I looked at her
Although there are days when the sun doesn't come out
At least I can dance on TikTok
Twenty twenty, came strong
Pandemics and global disasters
You just want it to end
Twenty twenty, not forever
Pandemics and global disasters
And now we are stronger than before
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
Tsunamis, explosions, hurricanes and planes
And volcanoes, earthquakes, floods
Let Australia not catch fire 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
Whatever, so Pau Donés would come back
We keep shouting Black Lives Matter
For George Floyd and those missing
Until there is justice there will be no peace, no peace (mmm)
And how difficult love is
In times of covid, forget it
I'm afraid 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 will find someone better
And all the songs you made me write
I dedicate them to you, my love
Twenty twenty, came strong
Pandemics and global disasters
You just want it to end
Twenty twenty, not forever
Pandemics and global disasters
And now we are stronger than before
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
And who here is the impostor?
I'm just a crewmate looking for my mission
Take refuge in a song
Find 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 hugs
And when I'm older and old
Tell my children and grandchildren
The stories that this year has left us
(Stop, stop, stop)
Such a strange year
(Stop, stop, stop)
No matter how many years go by
(Stop, stop, stop)
This remains engraved
And finally we cancel the cancel culture
Although the haters keep barking, poor let them be
Boo keeps swimming, surpasses 100 million
And with it I release an album to shut up those bullies
And although it seemed that nothing was going well, I had to distance myself
From the media to see all the good
That we missed like more equal marriage
The world has fought to be less racist
Second person has been cured of AIDS
And there is less pollution from staying at home
(Stop, stop, stop)
(Stop, stop, stop)
(Stop, stop, stop)
