It’s Corona After All


Matt Meyer & Dave Lippman, together again for the first time, penned this for the rolling general strike begun in May 2020.

It’s a world disaster, a world of fear,
Will it last two months or perhaps a year?
There’s so much we don’t know, 
except where we can’t go
It’s Corona after all!

Government has gone AWOL
Let’s meet at the web town hall,
Just keep calm and bring Lysol
It’s a hang in there together alone world

Shall we blame Obama or just the Chinese?
Will Boss Tweet keep lying
I hope he won’t sneeze
Where’s the test? We’re betrayed!
There’s big bucks to be made
It’s Big Pharma after all!

It’s a Trump plague after all,
Don’t go for a pub-crawl y’all
Grab your phone, plot their downfall
It’s a Trumped-up world!

There’ll be banging pans
And horn-honking drives
We will zoom together
And fight for our lives
Evictions aren’t fair
And we’ve got no health care
Can we help this system fall?

It’s a Trump plague after all,
Incompetence has cast a pall
A general strike would be a ball
It would help this system fall
