"2020" lyrics

"2020"

New Year's Eve, don't it seem
Like decades ago?
Back in 2019
Back when life was slow

Now it's June, we're just halfway done
2020, hey, are we having fun?
How many years will we try
To cram into one?

We thought we'd be living 1918 again
But we messed that up so bad
God had to toss 1930 in

As the sun rose on 1968 this morning
A tweet from the john
Please let's not add the Civil War
How many years will we cram into one?

Oh, boy
How much more will she take?
Boys, hope you enjoy
Your beautiful tax break

We're not repeating history, just the parts that sucked
2020, what the actual fuck?
Pray we get through, but hey, don't hold your breath
'Cause there's plenty left to wreck
We got six months left

How many years
How many years will we try
How many years will we try
To cram into one?
