lyrics

I died during the peak
Of the worldwide disease
In the ICU for two weeks
Kept alive by machines
Fluid filled up my lungs
My blood oxygen dropped
Clots formed in my brain
Just before my heart stopped

Hospital on lock down
No one there to hold my hand
As I shuffled off
To go and meet The Man
The last thing that I saw
Was somebody on the tv screen
Saying that my death was a hoax
A political strategy

I’m one of the hundred
Hundred thousand dead
Another victim of
Of a nation unled

The morgues were overflowing so they
Put me in a freezer truck on the street
Outside the meters flashed expired
A little too on the nose don’t you think
Around the corner protestors gather
With assault rifles and misspelled signs
Declaring a haircut is worth more
Than another person’s life

I’m one of the hundred
Hundred thousand dead
Another victim
Of a nation unled
I’m one of the hundred
Hundred thousand who died
Abandoned by the system
All responsibility denied

Don’t you realize
They ignored the early signs
Sowed misinformation and lies
They lied and denied
Don’t you realize
They failed the marginalized
The ones in the middle
And on each side of the aisle

I’m one of the hundred
I’m one of the hundred
I’m one of the hundred
Thousand dead
I’m one of the hundred
I’m one of the hundred
I’m one of the hundred
Thousand dead
