We wanna pretend that the coast is clear
But the coast is really opaque
Yeah wanna believe all’s well that ends well
But that would be a huge mistake
Pretending don’t do it
Even when it seems there’s something to it
The shitty disease ain’t going nowhere
Even though I wish it had
The shitty disease ain’t going nowhere
And that ain’t nothing but bad
My sister she done and got it
Even though she said she was invincible
She's so pissed she swore to God
She thought she shouldn’t get it just on principle
She said nothing bad ever happens to her
But maybe now she’s not so sure
We like to think
God gives a crap
But if you do, buddy
You are one big sap
We’re smart enough to cook up a vaccine
But not so smart to actually use it
Imagine being given the key to the kingdom
And then you turn around and refuse it
Hate to say that’s pretty dumb
