Ciao, Viral System


They weren’t prepared to save people, but seem well prepared to take the opportunity to further enrich billionaires at the expense of billions of people. With people going hungry, can we eat the rich?

We’re isolating
But we’re not waiting
If we unite for what’s right
We will win this fight
Come Facebook likers
You could be strikers
Then you’ll really have some friends

We know we’re misled
And some are not fed
We know that food, health and housing 
Are human rights
Government’s viral
A downward spiral
This system’s clinically insane

Essential workers
Out on the front lines
Meanwhile the Congress is bailing out
Oil tycoons
Tax cuts for wealthy
This is not healthy
The table-turning day has come

All work we’re stopping
No going shopping
We know Amazon workers are suffering
Dismal conditions
Hey politicians
Tell us which side are you on?

We lack finances
Here’s what our stance is
If we have no work
We won’t pay our rent
You can’t evict us
You won’t afflict us
We’re clicking like on strike today

System is breaking
The crooks are quaking
We can survive, we can thrive
Tell the landlord
If there’s no paycheck
Then there’s no rent check
So just back off at least six feet

Prison’s for poor folk
Whose bail they revoke
We won’t die in your jails
While your system fails
We say the state must
Decarcerate us
The President can have my cell

For living wages
Health for all ages
We must create a much greater
democracy
We’re gonna build a better future
And we’re gonna start right now
