Is This Covid (I’m feelin’)?

Is This Covid (I’m feelin’)? (To the music of Survivor’s “Is This Love?”)

I’ve seen arms jabbed with pharma potion
Needles through thick and thin
Short of breath, and lack of motion

Food, tasteless till the bitter end

Now some will believe that the story’s suspect
Living in a masked state of despair
I’ve seen all the pain that the virus can bring

Don’t need to prove to myself
Don’t need more than a coax
Don’t you convince me
It’s not a societal hoax

Is this Covid I’m feelin’?
Is this Covid that’s keepin’ me up all night?
Is this Covid I’m feelin’?
Is this Covid?

Zoned out work calls in Zoom confusion
While wearing boxer shorts
We reach out in disillusion
When waiting for Fauci reports

Now I’d like to know that for once in my life
The next Greek letter for this damn thing
I’ve heard all your talk
Can I take it to heart

Now heading off to drive to CVS
Cause tonight is the night
For what looks like a pregnancy test
that a booster will fight

Is this Covid I’m feelin’?
Is this Covid that’s been keepin’ me up all night?
Is this Covid I’m feelin’?
Is this Covid?

I’ve rationed toilet paper sheets
Dodged mean empty market aisles with no more brands
Sanitizer leaves no feeling
Just drying out my damned chapped hands

I need to know that big pharma does care
Is Pfizer or Moderna the answer to my prayers?
Is this Covid I’m feelin’
Is this Covid that’s keepin’ me up all night?
Is this Covid I’m feelin’
Is this Covid

Is this Covid I’m feelin’?
Is this Covid that’s been keepin’ me up all night?
Is this Covid I’m feelin’?
Is this Covid?
