lyrics
Quarantine. Everybody should be disinfecting
Quarantine. Life is just a Zoom meeting
I loved the idea, thought it sounded great
But now my family is filled with hate
We've been stuck together for days on end
I've made enemies of all my friends
Quarantine. Everybody should be disinfecting
Quarantine. Life is just a Zoom meeting
The air smells like hand sanitizer
Wouldn't be in this mess, if we were just a little wiser
Gotta stay six feet apart
Put on latex gloves just to touch the shopping cart
Quarantine. Everybody should be disinfecting
Quarantine. Life is just a Zoom meeting
What an awkward time to cough or sneeze
Hey, don't worry. It's just my allergies
Think I'll go out, get some groceries for myself
Holy crap, there's nothing on the shelves!
Quarantine. Everybody should be disinfecting
Quarantine. Life is just a Zoom meeting
Once the toilet paper flowed wild and free
We used to mummify ourselves and hang it from the trees
Only one message for every woman, child, and man:
Stay the fuck home, and WASH YOUR HANDS!
Quarantine. Everybody should be disinfecting
Quarantine. Life is just a Zoom meeting
Quarantine. We're all isolating
Quarantine. Practice social distancing
