VERSE
There’s a pandemic, it is killing us, but it’s not the only one
There is another that sees us starving, and then reaches for its gun
And makes us think we should be grateful and makes sure the news is spun
Uses words like “essential,” then sacrifices old and young
We are dying in the thousands, and they say we should be proud
to get sick for the economy, while we take what we’re allowed
They continue to make billions, and say the quiet parts out loud
They can get away with murder, so they welcome in the crowds

CHORUS
This virus aint the last one, of this we can be sure
And climate change aint creepin, it is comin like a storm
It feels like all is hopeless, like there aint no end in sight
So stay home. Stay alive. And organize


VERSE
Because there’s power in our numbers and in solidarity
There is hope in workers demanding to repurpose factories
There is truth in all the jobs we’re realizing we don’t need
They cannot lie enough to hide behind the things that we have seen
Like communities stepping up with help to feed their neighbors
Seen employees start to strike, and the value in their labor
And for every skyline and star, that we will always savor
There is another clue, that seems to prove, we are our only saviors

CHORUS
This virus aint the last one, of this we can be sure
And climate change aint creepin, it is comin like a storm
So when it feels like all is hopeless, like there aint no end in sight
Stay home. Stay alive. And organize

END VERSE
We’re feeling broken, feeling trapped, but we’ve felt this way before
We can feel it in our histories, we can know it in our wars
So until we take this land and give it back to the ones who came before
We will sing in love and anger, and we will live for something more
