Furlough

The president said y’all go wash your hands
It’s just a little virus, understand
Probably Chuck and Nancy’s little hoax
At worst it’s just a bump along the road
The phone rang at four PM on Friday
I could heart it in the tone of his voice
Believe me son, if I could have things my way
I’m sorry, but I haven’t any choice
They call it a furlough
Somewhere in between, you’re stuck in limbo
I hope you’ll make ends meet the best you can though
In another couple weeks after this side show
We’ll circle back again
Until then you’re on furlough
They shut down all the restaurants and stores
Said lock up all your windows and your doors
Pay attention to what happened overseas
Prevention’s the best cure for this disease
They sent all spring breakers home to mama
Canceled NHL and NBA
Congress said we don’t want no drama
Your thousand dollar check is on the way
'Cause you’re on furlough
Somewhere in between, you’re stuck in limbo
I hope you’ll make ends meet the best you can though
In another couple weeks after this side show
We’ll circle back again
Until then you’re on furlough
Now we got nothin' but time
To stand six feet apart on the unemployment line
You can’t count on the tax man for relief
That California sunshine don’t come cheap
'Cause you’re on furlough
Somewhere in between, you’re stuck in limbo
I hope you’ll make ends meet the best you can though
In another couple weeks after this shit show
We’ll circle back again
I hope you know I consider you a friend
Until then you’re on furlough
On furlough
