Hey, are you having a good time
Stay, everything's gonna be fine
You heard it before and you'll hear it again
It's not a matter of where it's just a matter of when
There's someone shouting that the world's gonna end
But it's not ending right now, and I say yeah!
Are you having a good time?
Oh , hey, there ain't nothin like sunshine
Blue skies and a red wine
Gettin' high on the grapevine
Are you having a good time?
The day falls, the night calls
We watch the world go 'round
We'll hold hands, we'll make plans
And then it all goes down
It all goes down
Are you having a good time?

Holes
I only feel, where it hurts
I only know the fear
I've never fully understood
What's missing here
There are holes in my story
That someone says they'd fill
I've nothing left but time
To kill
Hi, ho! It's off to work I go
It's the same thing every day
Essentially, it's up to me
So they say
There's no thanks and there's no glory
No house upon the hill
There's just another empty shelf
Like the empty space inside myself
To fill

Longer Hours
Mmm, hmm, hmm...
Faster than a rumor
It's spreading through the air
Still got my sense of humor
I'm just a little scared
What's this gonna mean
For a guy like me?
Will I still be stocking shelves?
I guess I'll wait and see...
Gotta find out for myself
Who should I turn to for the news
And what about my mental health
This is not the same old blues
Mmm, hmm, hmm...
Dear valued teammate
Your work is essential!
Your presence is valued
Your toil consequential!
We ask you to work longer hours
We ask you to work longer days
Work shifts will be longer, be longer
Without much more pay!

Now We Wait
The nameless days are drifting by
Like a cloud, in a cloudless sky
The sound of leaves in summer breeze
Whispering memories and mystery
We wait, Now we wait, Now we wait, We wait
It's all been said and done tonight
Except to rage against the dying of the light
It's all been read, in black and white
When wild we sang and caught the sun in flight
We wait, Now we wait, Now we wait,
We wait

Inner Being
Lock down's here
All the fear
Closed away, away...
From the outside
Pathogen
Don't come in
Stay away, away...
From the inside
A quiet home
And new routines
We're on our own marking time
We'll stay within our shell
Fatality
Mortality
It stalks us all statistically
Hope things improve someday, some way
Day by day
Months give way
I'm okay, okay...
When you're near me
So come what may
We'll find our way
We'll seize each day anew
And reinvent the wheel
Make new plans
Break new plans
Turn off the radio and wait
For the sun to shine

Somebody Spoke
Somebody spoke, somebody listened
Someone awoke, someone went missing
Somebody told you a lie
Somebody told you a lie
Somebody told you, they told you, they told you a lie
Someone consoled you
When they told you
They told you a lie
Someone controlled you
When they told you
They told you
A lie

Everything's Cancelled
Everything's cancelled including you!
There's nothing at all in the world to do
No NBA, no Shakespeare play, no not today!
TO BE OR NOT TO...
Everything's cancelled and it's not fair
There's some kind of virus traveling through the air
Is it too much to ask, to wear this mask?
NO, I DON'T WANT TO!...
Start washing your hands and making zero plans
You thought N95 was a highway
And now you'll be saying on the road ahead, nothing will be going my way!
Everything's cancelled that you did before
I hope you can get inside the grocery store
No bookclub, no tennis, just Covid menace!
And now everything's shut! NUTS! No if ands or buts! BUTTS!
Now everything's done and you'll miss all the fun
Because everything's cancelled, including you!
The coach he just cancelled your kids T-ball game STRIKE!
Your movies and clubs will never be the same
You won't be allowed, where there's a crowd...
Now that life's over you'll just sit at home
Your link to the world is now a cellular phone
I'm sure that you'll be fine, with life online! I DON'T HAVE THE PASSWORD!
You took it for granted, all the things you did
Like walking uptown and dropping off the kids
They're hoarding the Charmin and it's so alarmin'
So I guess you're just out of luck... WHAT?!
YEAH PEOPLE ARE STOCKPILING IT LIKE IT'S GOLD BULLION, SHEESH!
And now everything's shut! NUTS! No if ands or buts! BUTTS!
Everything's done, DONE! - NO FUN!
Because everything's cancelled, including you...
And what can you do? ZOOM?! What can you do? ZOOM!
The CDC warning says to stay in your room!
And now everything's cancelled, including you!
I guess you'll zoom, I guess we'll zoom, I guess I'll zoom....

The Time Before
I remember the time before
Now it's coming again
Always looking for something more
Oh, we had it all then
But lately I've been waiting while
CauseThe days just roll on by
Maybe it's too late to try
To make something of my life
I remember the time
The time before
So hard to change my mind
And it's harder changing my ways
It's been this way for a thousand years
Give or take a few days
I'm frustrated by the wasted time
I can't explain just why
And I'm shaken by the ways that I've
Been made to change my life (And that's not right)
I remember the time
The time before

Midnight
It's late at night & I'm all alone
But out there someone's awake
Someone else that thinks like me
Has had all he can take
Connecting all the threads
Into a tapestry of rage
He hoists a ragged banner
In this information age
An hour turns to two, then three
He's got a simple plan
We've got to save our way of life
And let the rest be damned
It's midnight
We won't stand by and let a mob
Weave a tapestry of strife
I've found my place in cyberspace
And meaning in my life
It's midnight
Midnight
It's late at night and I'm not alone...

Is this the revolution
The dawning of the day?
Are we the better angels
Come with hell to pay?
Images are flashing in my mind
Behind my eyes
It's all come crashing down
I can't tell truth from lies

Put Out The Fire
In our house, there's a room, and it's burning
We can't keep behind closed doors
There are lessons we need to be learning
Or we'll keep fighting these same wars
In our house in this country divided
Where we build up our walls at all cost
We think someone else is gonna clean up our mess
So we don't give a damn what we've lost
You don't give a damn about freedom
If you don't give a damn about choice
So when you pledge your allegiance, don't abandon all reason
Don't let someone else take your voice
Put out the fire
There are rivers in time can divide us
But still there are bridges to cross
Way down inside us there's a truth and it's speaking
In a whisper but it sometimes gets lost
In our house with a room that's burning
We can't keep behind closed doors
We all seen the smoke, yeah we thought was a joke
Oh it's grown into something much more
So now wake up you all-for-one Cowboys
There's a fire to put out, work to do
So lay down your grievance, the lies you believed in
Find something better in you
Put out the fire
In our house, there's a room, and it's burning

Lost
I've been lost, been away
In the moment, in the day
I got caught in the wave
Swept away, in the parade
But now the the sands have all run through the glass
And consequence will come to pass
I can't un-ring the bell thats's rung
What's done is done
What's done is done
It's done
Holes Reprise
Now I feel, and it hurts
I tasted of the fear
And now it's well and understood
What's happened here
Now there are holes in my glory
But there's some still say they won
And now I can't escape
What I've done
What have I done?
