The year in revue

It's been a year. It’s been a year And after all the news We’re still not in the clear It’s been a year

Can’t even remember what life was like Back before we didn’t need a mask to go outside It’s been a year

Can’t even remember how it used to sound Before the streets were quiet and we had to lock it down It’s been a year

2020 The year began on fire Australia was burning And Iran was looking dire

And you know you might forget it but Back in the before time We thought we’d have to deal With Third World War time

It was only January The last time I went to a wedding And we barely knew back then That the virus was already spreading

Meanwhile the end of The impeachment trial, finally It went the way you thought it would Except for maybe Romney

The virus leaves China On planes and on ships The world watches closely As Italy gets hit

But Italians sang from their balconies And then came the celebrities

It’s been a year It’s been a year And after all the news We’re still not in the clear

It’s been a year

2020 is cancelled No Olympics and Costco took away free samples

So long, Coachella Goodbye in-person classes No European travel We banned their white asses

Covid conspiracies. We’ve got varieties Bill Gates made it in a lab And 5G wants to kill your dad

Maybe it’ll go away When temperatures are high Maybe some disinfectant Is worth the college try?

Lockdowns, shutdowns Layoffs and a market crash Mask on. Mask off The stimulus won’t help my rash

We’re running out of TP We’re running out of PPE I’m scared of getting groceries I’m losing all my sanity

When is this all gonna end? It feels like everything is the same Every single day Blends into the next day

It’s been a year It’s been a year And after all the news We’re still not in the clear. It’s been a year

Late May A wall starts to shatter More than half the country screaming Black! Lives! Matter!

A monumental protest movement Started in the streets Statues start to fall And people protest the police

Racist mascots fall and Athletes protest in the bubble John Lewis passed away but left us His “good trouble.”

The Confederate flag Lost again in this pandemic While more and more people saw That racism’s systemic

But unity, it doesn’t last It quickly gets politicized There’s shooting in Kenosha And everyone’s still taking sides

One step forward One step back The United States Staying right on track

It’s been a—

Wait, wait hold the phone The president has got it He didn’t wanna wear a mask But now he tested positive

Yeah, he’s gonna beat it But he won’t win the election Even after RBG The Court will not correct it

Convinces half his party It’s a steal, without a reason Tries to throw good ballots out But books the wrong Four Seasons

Fifty different lawsuits Winding through the courts. He’s losing and losing and losing and losing and losing…

Who cares! Now there’s a vaccine! And another new vaccine! It’s actually happening! It’s all predicted by Fauci! Thank you to the doctors And to all the educators Thank you to the nurses And to grocery store workers And also all the drivers! Who now have my address And for saving our election God bless USPS!

It’s been a year It’s been a year And after all the news We’re still not in the clear

It’s been a year It’s been a year And after all the news We’re still not in the clear It’s been a year

Can’t even remember what it’s like to be dancing with my friends and eating with my family

It’s been a year

Can’t even remember what normal was, but gimme more hugs in 2021

It’s been a year It’s been a year And after all the news We’re still not in the clear.
