Coronavirus Rhapsody : The Second Wave
by Dana Jay Bein - 8|13|2020
Is this still real life?
Is this still happening?
Stuck in this lockdown
No escape from 2020
Don’t socialize
As cases still rise sadlyyyyyy
I’m just a poor boy, can’t see my family
Because of greedy men, big egos
Had no plan, now we know
We look out our windows, the curve still isn’t flatter sadly, sadly
mama, just killed a man
i didn’t stay inside in bed
Forced to go work instead
mama, life was so much fun
but 2020 took it all awaaaaaayyyyy
mama, oooooh
didn’t mean to make them die
if we don’t have vaccines this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if people didn’t matter
too late, our time has come
rent payments are behind
we’re so anxious all the time
goodbye everybody, what’s left to do?
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
mama, oooooh
I don’t wanna die
I sometimes think we won’t even see the fall
I see a little silhouette with tiny hands
we’ve got proof, we’ve got proof
didn’t even have a plan though
the CDC was right it’s
very very frightening me
new gestapo (new gestapo)
new gestapo (new gestapo)
new gestapo infiltrates
Infiltrates NOOOOO
We need to protest, police brutality
WE NEED TO PROTEST POLICE BRUTALITY
spare us our rights from this monstrosity
every race, take a stand, will you take a stand?
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT TAKE A STAND! (TAKE A STAND!)
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT TAKE A STAND! (TAKE A STAND!)
BISMILLAH WE WILL NOT TAKE A STAND! (TAKE A STAND!)
TAKE A STAND! (never, never, never take a stand oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
No no no no no
Oh mama mia, mia (mama mia take a stand!!)
This fascism has a jail cell put aside for me, for me
So you think you can stop me and just cuff my hands?
So you just pepper spray us to not meet demands?
Oh baby, can’t do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get out of this year
Oooooh
Black lives really matter
Everyone should see
Black lives really matter
Black lives really matter to me
Hit the streets and then vote
---------------------------------------------------------
I've lost my mind!!!
Coronavirus Rhapsody by Dana Jay Bein (#DJB)
3/18/20
Is this a sore throat?
Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown
No escape from reality.
Don’t touch your eyes
Just hand sanitize quicklyyyyy
I’m just a poor boy, no job security
Because of easy spread, even though
washed your hands, laying low
I look out the window, the curve doesn’t look flatter to me, to me
mama, just killed a man
i didn’t stay inside in bed
I walked by him, now he’s dead
mama, life was so much fun
but now I’ve caught this unforgiving plague
mama, oooooh
didn’t mean to make them die
if I’m not back to work this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if people didn’t matter
too late, my time has come
sends shivers down my spine
body’s aching all the time
goodbye everybody, I’ve got the flu
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
mama, oooooh
I don’t wanna die
I sometimes wish I never went out at all
I see a little silhouette of a man
what a douche, what a douche
did he even wash his hands though
security is tightening
very very frightening me
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low masturbate
Masturbate O O O O
I’m just a poor boy, facing mortality
HE’S JUST A POOR BOY FACING MORTALITY
spare him his life from this monstrosity
Touch your face, wash your hands, will you wash your hands?
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!)
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS)
BISMILLAH WE WILL NOT WASH YOUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!)
WASH YOUR HANDS! (never, never, never wash your hands oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
No no no no no
Oh mama mia, mia (mama mia wash your hands!)
COVID-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me
So you think you can stop me and just shake my hand?
So you think we can hang out and not break our plans?
Oh baby, can’t do this with me, baby,
Just gotta stay home, just gotta stay home with my fever
oooooh
Curving can get flatter
Anyone can see
Curving can get flatter
Curving can get flatter, you’ll see
Just look out your windows….
I love you all. Stay safe. We'll get through this.
ANOTHER DEATH IN THE FALL by Dana Jay Bein
7/29/20
We don't need no vaccination
We don't need disease control
No social distance in the classroom
Teachers leave them masks at home
Hey, teachers, leave them masks at home
All in all it's just another death in the fall
All in all you're just another death in the fall
MAD WORLD 2020 by Dana Jay Bein
8/12/20
All around me unfamiliar faces
Closed down places, six foot spaces
Breaking records for the daily cases
Going nowhere, going nowhere
The lies are mixing up the masses
Vote suppression, vote suppression
Hide my face, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people are just numbers it's a very very
Mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day, they feel good
No masks, go play; no masks, go play
Cannot feel the way that every child should
Social distance, social distance
Went to school and I was very nervous
Don’t sit near me, don’t sit near me
Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson
Just make money, just make money
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people are just numbers it's a very very
Mad world, mad world
Engage your world
Mad world
STAN (I Stan Vote By Mail) by Dana Jay Bein
5/3/2020
Can’t beat this cold I'm wondering when
I’ll get out of bed at all
November’s coming if we can’t vote
Democracy will fall
And even if we could it won’t be okay
With the lines at city hall
That reminds me, we could vote by mail
Just vote by mail
Can’t beat this cold I'm wondering when
I’ll get out of bed at all
November’s coming if we can’t vote
Democracy will fall
And even if we could it won’t be okay
With the lines at city hall
That reminds me, we could vote by mail
Just vote by mail
Dear Trump, I like you but my life is fallin’
I lost my job, my healthcare, and my home - I hit rock bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fake news,, that’s what’s up! Man how's your daughter?
My daughter’s sexy too, I'm proud to be her father
If I have another, guess what I'm a call him?
I'ma name him Donnie
I read about your Junior Donnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend wet himself because his dad just didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even took an undergrad course when you did that scam
I got a room full of your posters from your rallies man
I like the shit you did with Stormy too, that chick with tats
Anyways, I hope you get this man, write me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
I’m your stan
Can’t beat this cold I'm wondering when
I’ll get out of bed at all
November’s coming if we can’t vote
Democracy will fall
And even if we could it won’t be okay
With the lines at city hall
That reminds me, we could vote by mail
Just vote by mail
Dear Trump, you still ain't called or wrote, I read all of your rants
I ain't mad, I can’t really live without your muslim bans
If you didn't wanna ask for help outside your country
You didn't have to, but you coulda asked ambassadors what would Vlad do?
Vlad’s our Russian hero man, he's shirtless, thick and bold
He made another blistering cold war dude
Two world powers and you just lay low
That's pretty awesome man, he’s like your fuckin' idol
You want to be just like him man, you like him more than I do
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember we all vote in November, you said if I'd vote that you’d have my back
See I'm just like you in a way
I knew that Clinton’s not a leader
I knew we had to cheat so that we could beat her
I could relate to what you're doing all along
So when I have a shitty day, I turn on Fox they put you on
'Cause we don’t care about shit else and that shit helps the whole U.S.
I even got a t-shirt with your name across the chest
Sometimes I inject myself with disinfectant bleach
It's like a medicine, the pain is fake no bullshit test for me
See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
Mike Pence is jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
But he don't know you like I know you Trump, no one does
He don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up, you gotta help me man
I'll be the biggest vote you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, stan
P.S. we should pee together too
Can’t beat this cold I'm wondering when
I’ll get out of bed at all
November’s coming if we can’t vote
Democracy will fall
And even if we could it won’t be okay
With the lines at city hall
That reminds me, we could vote by mail
Just vote by mail
Dear Mister "I'm Too Dumb To Write With Tiny Hands”
This will be the last message II ever send your ass
It's been 3 weeks and still no help, I don't deserve it?
I know you won the last election, I vote for presidents who aren’t worth it
So this is my regret I'm sending you, I hope you read it
It’s in the mail right now, I'm voting Biden, fuck what you say
Hey Trump, I drank a fifth of Windex
I’m barely alive!
I know it’s wrong but I’m falling and it’s scary tonight
You’re the guy who coulda saved the modern world from drowning
But didn't, then you blamed it all on everyone around you
That's kinda how this is, you could a rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late, I'm at the homeless shelter now, no housing
And I’ll be voting for a drowsy leader in the fall
I hope you don’t get all of your budget for the wall
I loved you Trump, we coulda won together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you’re impeached and you scream about it
And when you dream I hope you drink bleach and light beams come out it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without guilt
See Trump, shut off Fox! I'm tryin' to type!
Hey Trump, that's Vlad Putin screamin' out his lungs
But I wouldn’t get his goat, I’d just lie and run, see I ain't like you
'Cause if he interferes he'll suffer more, and then he'll cry too
You gotta go, It’s killing time in Moscow
Oh shit, you forgot, how are you supposed to spin this shit now?
Can’t beat this cold I'm wondering when
I’ll get out of bed at all
November’s coming if we can’t vote
Democracy will fall
And even if we could it won’t be okay
With the lines at city hall
That reminds me, we could vote by mail
Just vote by mail
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I get so dizzy
You said your daughter’s pretty, wow, how tall and blond is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would wear your MAGA HAT
And here's an autograph for your daughter
I hope she will sit on my lap
I'm angry you didn't help me with your vote, I must admit too
I think you’re just like that crooked Hillary that’s an issue
But what's this thing you said welfare has to cut you checks too?
You live like you’re a homeless dog, come on, how liberal is you?
You have some issues stan, I think your vote won’t count you’ll see
I’ll help your ass with housing if the wall runs out of ransom
And what's this shit about us meant to pee together?
That type of shit will make Vlad blackmail me to bleed some others
I really think me and this country need each other
Or maybe I just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you vote yourself, I think that I'll be doin' just fine
If I relax a little, I'm glad I inspired you but stan
Why do you love Vlad? Try to understand, that I do want you in my plan
I just don't want to learn any leadership
I seen this one guy on Fox News a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was sick, lost his job, lived under a bridge
And sent his ballot in the mail didn’t regret what he did
And in the end he felt betrayed, but they never said he had the flu
And on the envelope, his name was, it was you
Damn.
EVERY HAND YOU SHAKE by Dana Jay Bein
3/24/20
Every hand you shake and every move you make
Every glass you break, every cake you bake, I'll be washing you
Every single day and every bill you pay
Every game you play, every night and day, I'll be washing you
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every hand you shake
Every move you make, and every egg you break
Every fist you make, every jar you shake, I'll be washing you
Since the dawn you’ve been washed like it’s a race
I dream at night, I can never touch my face
I wash my feet but it's you I can't replace
I’ve got a cold and I long for a test case
I keep crying, "Baby, baby, please"
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every hand you shake
Every move you make and every egg you break
Every fist you make, every jar you shake, I'll be washing you
Every move you make, every step you take, I'll be washing you
I'll be washing you
Every hand you shake and every move you make
Every glass you break, every cake you bake (I'll be washing you)
Every single day, wash them anyway
Every game you play, every night and day (I'll be washing you)
Every move you make, every egg you break
Every fist you make,, every jar you shake (I'll be washing you)
Every single day, wash them anyway
Every game you play, every night and day (I'll be washing you)
Every hand you shake and every move you make
Every glass you break, every cake you bake (I'll be washing you)
Every single day, wash them anyway
Every game you play, every and day (I'll be washing you)
Every move you make, every egg you break
Every fist you make, , every cake you bake (I'll be watching you)
Every single day, wash them anyway
Every game you play, every night and day (I'll be washing you)
MONEY FROM NO ONE by Dana Jay Bein
3/28/20
(to the tune of Dire Strait’s Money For Nothing)
Now look at them doctors that's the way you do it
You treat the patients in emergency
We ain't workin' that's the way we do it
Money from no one and the checks for free
Now we ain't workin' that's the way we do it
Lemme tell ya them guys are dumb
Maybe get a virus on your little finger
Maybe get a virus on your thumb
We gotta begin long distance loving
Custom take out deliveries
We gotta move these new ventilators
We gotta move these elderly
We gotta begin long distance loving
Custom take out deliveries
We gotta move these new ventilators
We gotta move these elderly
We gotta learn to stay in the car
We gotta learn to save them crumbs
Look at that moron he out there coughing in the cinema
Man, you can’t have this fun
And he's up there, what's that? Phlegm flying noises?
You hanging with a fever up at 103
Oh, we ain't workin' that's the way we do it
Getting money from no one and the checks for free
We gotta instate long distance loving
Custom take out deliveries
We gotta move these new ventilators
We gotta move these elderly
Listen here, now we ain't workin' that's the way we do it
You pray you survive insecurity
We ain't workin' that's the way we do it
Money from no one and your checks for free
Money from no one and the checks for free
Get your money from no one and checks for free
Money from no one' and the checks for free (I want my, I want security)
Money from no one and the checks for free (I want my, I want security)
INSIDE by Dana Jay Bein
(Parody of Staind's Outside)
4/13/2020
Can you
please bring me some TP
Again
All the times
That I coughed in my sleeve
In vain
All the times
That I felt allergies
Or flu
And you leave
My groceries at the door
But I'm on the inside
I'm quarantined
I can wave to you
Until I recover
'Cause outside you're safely
at distance from me
I can wave to you
See through the window
All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's the flu
I can't taste
and I probably caught
this from you
All those times
Touched my eyes
All preventions
Thrown aside
And I cough
More times than anyone
But I'm on the inside
I'm quarantined
I can wave to you
Until I recover
'Cause outside you're safely
at distance from me
I can wave to you
See through the window
Every time
Hands so dry
All that washing
I moisturize
Is this real
or contained
Fever's down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
And I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
Cuz I'm on the inside
I'm quarantined
I can wave to you
Until I recover
'Cause outside you're safely
at distance from me
I can wave to you
See through the window
