Sitting in the Park

(Parody of “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen)

I get up every day
And I ain’t got nowhere to go
Stuck at home with no pay
No end in sight to this furlough
I ain’t nothing but broke
Man I’m just broke and bored by myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can’t stop a virus
You can’t stop a virus with a mask
This spike’s the highest
Even if we’re just sitting in the park

Orders keep getting stricter
TV’s on and I’m watching curves gone flat
Can’t believe their predictor
Was never gonna be as bad as that
Man we ain’t going nowhere
Just living in a lockdown like this
There’s nothing happening out there
Baby I just know there isn’t

You can’t stop a virus
You can’t stop a virus with a mask
This spike’s the highest
Even if we’re just sitting in the park

You sit around feeling lonely
There’s a bar, there somewhere waiting for me
I shake this mask off boldly
Come on baby the drink’s on me

Stay in your home on lockdown
Or they’ll be calling you out alright
They say the Karens will frown
Hey baby I’m just about broke tonight
My savings is a fraction
I’m sick of sitting ’round here trying to watch Netflix
I need human connection
Come on now, baby, lose the politics

You can’t stop a virus
Sitting ’round crying about an open shop
This spike’s the highest
Even if we’re just sitting in the park
You can’t stop a virus
By making the whole world come to a stop
This spike’s the highest
Even if we’re just sitting in the park
Even if we’re just sitting in the park
