Dear Corona - Pigeon Party
Dear Corona (lyrics original by Rapden: Pigeon Party) She, she is a cold girl, brought the whole world down on their knees She, she is a mean girl, trying to rip us all off our means But there's a silver lining, she doesn't know, she doesn't care but we do And there's no point in whining, she doesn't mind, she has no time to what we do So, I've quarantined myself, just to go within, it's the one place she'll never find And I, I've reclaimed myself, to come out clean, it's the one game she'll never win So leave me alone, why don't you go on your own Dear Corona
