lyrics

No Conventions This Year

D G D
In late January, we heard of a virus
G D A(sus) D
Some kind of flu that was some kind of worse
The gameshow host told us that he’d have to fire us
if we stoked concerns about going to work
G D/F# Em D/F# (repeat)
Lie luh lie, it’ll die when it’s warmer
Lie luh lie, It will just disappear
Lie luh lie, only old people get it
G D/F# Em A
Lie luh lie, well at least it’s not here

Chorus:
Bm F#m G A
Aye Aye! We shout for the captain
Bm F#m G D
Oh woah, we ask what is this?
Em D/F#
So stay 6 feet from me and keep the mask on
G D A(sus) D
for this is a year when we won’t have a con

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 1 case
Lie luh lie, Less than 50 infected
Lie luh lie, you see, no one has died
Lie luh lie, we should still go to C-PAC
Lie luh lie, “Berners won’t vote for Bi-den

Chorus

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





Now New York’s exploded. They run out of doctors.
Dragon con’s cancelled, so’s BLFC
For 2 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 hydrochoroquine
Lie luh lie, yeah sure you can protest
Lie luh lie, bail the rich out again

Chorus

Solo - G D/F# Em D/F# (x4 last chord A)

The police were out doing their unprovoked murders
Minneapolis said that enough was enough
In all 50 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 eye balls
Lie luh lie, while we lie luh lie lie

Chorus

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

Chorus (last chord G and hold on it)
