In late January, we heard of a virus
Some kind of flu that was some kind of worse
The game show host told us that he'd have to fire us
If we stoked concerns about going to work
Lie luh lie, it'll die when it's warmer
Lie luh lie, it'll just disappear
Lie luh lie, only old people get it
Lie luh lie, well at least it's not here
Aye, aye, we shout for the captain
Oh woah, we ask what is this?
So stay six feet from me and keep the mask on
For this is a year when we won't have a con
ย
Got through February, and not much had happened
It's over in China, and we'll be okay
Never mind the Italians, there's no need to stay in
Arizona and Washington just have one case
Lie luh lie, less than fifty infected
Lie luh lie, you see, no one has died
Lie luh lie, we should still go to CPAC
Lie luh lie, Berners won't vote for Biden
Aye, aye, we shout for the captain
Oh woah, we ask what is this?
So stay six feet from me and keep the mask on
For this is a year when we won't have a con
ย
For the last time this year, we went to the airport
Off to Virginia, the start of a tour
Maybe someone was coughing, and asked what you're there for
Just go to the doctor, unless you are poor
Lie luh lie, who did this? Obama
Lie luh lie, there're plenty of tests
Lie luh lie, no co-pay for treatment
Lie luh lie, I'm doing my best
Aye, aye, we shout for the captain
Oh woah, we ask what is this?
So stay six feet from me and keep the mask on
For this is a year when we won't have a con
ย
Now New York's exploded, they run out of doctors
Dragoncon's cancelled, so's BLFC
For two weeks or longer you might be a walker
Lock down, unless you're a broke employee
Lie luh lie, it's all because China
Lie luh lie, take hydroxychloroquine
Lie luh lie, yeah sure you can protest
Lie luh lie, bail the rich out again
Aye, aye, we shout for the captain
Oh woah, we ask what is this?
So stay six feet from me and keep the mask on
For this is a year when we won't have a con
ย
The police were out doing their unprovoked murders
Minneapolis said that enough was enough
In all fifty states our protectors and servers
Beat up your children to show that they're tough
Lie luh lie, we'll stop using tear gas
Lie luh lie, he deserved to die
Lie luh lie, don't trust your own eyeballs
Lie luh lie, while we lie luh lie lie
Aye, aye, we shout for the captain
Oh woah, we ask what is this?
So stay six feet from me and keep the mask on
For this is a year when we won't have a con
Ohh-ohhh
In the heat of the summer, here come the evictions
Landlords need rent so they don't have to work
Mask up or die, and hold strong your convictions
Owning a house is one wealthiness perk
Lie luh lie, sure we'll donate the money
Lie luh lie, to combat ALS
Lie luh lie, get your ass back to work now
Lie luh lie, we'll get out of this mess
Aye, aye, we shout for the captain
Oh woah, we ask what is this?
So stay six feet from me and keep the mask on
For this is a year when we won't have a con
