Martial Law

We got the virus in the church But not the big box store And the office is shut down But not the warehouse floor The essential worker soldiers on With poverty upon her They won't pay a penny more But make commercials in her honor And I'm watching it unfold Like never before Watching it unfold... We had the press conference at noon They say for my morale But the Mayor ain't my friend And the Guv'nor ain't my pal They got us sheltered in place With bolts 'cross the door While the rich get more rich And the poor get more poor And I'm watching it unfold Till I can't watch anymore Call it what you will... I met a woman just before They shut the world down I was giving it my all Showing her the town Now I'm romancing her online Doing my best to endear her Wanna flatten her curves But she won't let me near her The TV taught me how to treat Those who disagree The maskless demons I meet And those who would be free And to at 7 cheer my prison All fear porn addicted And embrace my enslavement As Huxley predicted And I'm watching it unfold And I can't take anymore Call it what you will I call it Martial Law Now I don't fear no virus Or a neighbor at my door But I fear psycho rulers And what they have in store I fear their "vaccinations" I fear their brand new wars They're cooking up at their leisure While we're cowering indoors And don't expect lenience From these overlords As their virus of convenience Beats our plowshares into swords That we're turning on each other Instead of corporate whores Who profit from our suffering And locking us indoors With a virus of convenience The gift that keeps giving But false reverence for the dead Can't mask their hatred for the living Now listen… All the social distance Is not to keep you well It's to crush the resistance And suppress the groundswell Of global uprisings and massive unrest And to make it impossible for you to protest And I'm watching it unfold In shock and in awe Call it what you will I call it Martial Law And I'm watching it unfold And won't obey anymore Call it what you will I call it Martial Law Martial Law Martial Law
