Essential Worker
I am an essential worker I make deliveries
Virus waves have wiped this place I travel empty streets
We know we are disposible but essential people must eat
Everyone has gone inside to wait for their deliveries
I am a health worker I work within the quarantines
My face has sores from masks I've worn, my body needs sanitizing
Bankers, tailors, liars, and thieves, they're all the same to me
Once inside they stabilize, another day, another week
I'm an essential worker, I'm essential but I'm not free
I'm an virus worker, I'm essential to this society
We are the nightly protesters, we shout against the po-po-lice
We try to push the hate inside, that jacks this democracy
We are the essential angels, who sing "The world has changed
Tear gas kings and virus queens, it's never going to be the same."
We deliver this protest to you, hark the angels' truth
We deliver this protest to you, hark the angels' news
We are essential workers (we're essential, too)
We are the nightly protesters (we're essential, too)
We are essential workers but are lives ain't free
Virus waves have wiped this place I travel empty streets
We know we are disposible but essential people must eat
Everyone has gone inside to wait for their deliveries
I am a health worker I work within the quarantines
My face has sores from masks I've worn, my body needs sanitizing
Bankers, tailors, liars, and thieves, they're all the same to me
Once inside they stabilize, another day, another week
I'm an essential worker, I'm essential but I'm not free
I'm an virus worker, I'm essential to this society
We are the nightly protesters, we shout against the po-po-lice
We try to push the hate inside, that jacks this democracy
We are the essential angels, who sing "The world has changed
Tear gas kings and virus queens, it's never going to be the same."
We deliver this protest to you, hark the angels' truth
We deliver this protest to you, hark the angels' news
We are essential workers (we're essential, too)
We are the nightly protesters (we're essential, too)
We are essential workers but are lives ain't free
