Partially inspired by a Facebook post that didn't quite scan for me, and also of course inspired by the wonderful Butthole Surfers:
(Link to real version:
Marky infected Sharon, Sharon got Cherise
She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey has pneumonia scars and Cotton is a racist
They were all in love with dying, they were reopening Texas
Tommy caught the COVID from a kid out in the rain
And then he lost his life in Dallas, was like dancing with a train
They were all in love with dying
They caught it from a brother
Now it's pouring like an avalanche, coming for your mother
God I miss the sun sometimes, the images it shows
Wash your hands don't touch your face, cover your mouth and nose
Showboating and briefings with loudly shouted lies
They never know how just how to care'about other people's lives
Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery auto crashes
Some will die in ICU while all they leave is ashes
Some will fall in love with death and catch it from a brother
Then it's pouring like an avalanche, coming for your mother
God I miss the sun sometimes, the images it shows
Wash your hands don't touch your face, cover your mouth and nose
Showboating and briefings with loudly shouted lies
They never know how just how to care 'bout other people's lives
Another Mikey got shot by racist thugs in traffic
The priest died a natural death, he caught the nasty virus
Then there was the ever present Presidential rapist
They were all in love with dying, they were reopening Texas
Rand Paul caught the virus and it only made him ill
Shoulda been a lesson but instead he's still a shill
They were all in love with dying
They caught it from a brother
Now it's pouring like an avalanche
Coming for your mother
God I miss the sun sometimes, the images it shows
Wash your hands don't touch your face, cover your mouth and nose
Showboating and briefings with loudly shouted lies
They never know how just how to care 'bout other people's lives

(8,311 posts)2. Thanks, that actually helped a lot ;)
I don't ordinarily filk so my sense of scanning/rhythm can be thrown off just listening to the regular track.
But sometimes it's required, especially when I see a post that only has part of it when the rest of the song is SO good as well... lol.
