The They Might Be Giants Knowledge Base

I wasn't distancing / I wasn't listening / I turned away / When I heard them say / It's COVID-19 // I always had my doubts / So I just tuned it out / I didn't know / Why they had to crow / About COVID-19 // Pulse Ox was measured / Open the oxygen line / My lungs are destroyed / Now what fills the void / The sounds of ventilator chimes // I wish this wouldn't be / But I lived selfishly / I fell for the hoax / That preyed on my hopes / for COVID-19
