sammy j - what will we tell our grandkids about covid? lyrics

when this is over
when real life resumes
when we emerge
from our covid cocoons
and the curtains come up
and the stadiums fill
and the years roll on by
and keep rolling until

our kids all have kids
and we’re sitting alone
in a privately+funded retirement home
and the little ones visit
and we tell them tales
of lockdowns and borders
and how we prevailed

but what will we say when
our grandchildren ask us
werе you an +rs+hole back then?

thеy’ll say, did you freak out
did you steal toilet paper
did you break the curfew
to sleep with your neighbor
did you dismiss it
as just like the flu
or claim jobkeeper money
that wasn’t for you
and when cases for spiraling out of your reach
did you tell folks the truth—
or suggest they drink bleach?
yeah, what will we say when
our grandchildren ask us
were you an +rs+hole back then?

did you rip off your mask hoping you’d get arrested
did you have a sore throat, but refuse to get tested
or play afl in a quarantine hub
then sneak out for cababs at a gold coast strip club

and we’ve all been +rs+holes
at times in our lives
it’s the human condition
it’s how we survive
and of course we deny it
what else can we do?
but time will reveal it—
the +rs+hole was you

so what will we say when
our grandchildren ask us

did you put yourself first
and to h+ll with community
saying, let people die
let’s achieve herd immunity
or, if you had questions
about how we were led
did you ask them to help people out
or, instead
did you look at the horror
unfolding that year
and think, what a great chance
to advance my career
yeah, what will we say when
our grandchildren ask us
what it was like in the day
will we say when they want to know
how everybody behaved
will we say when our grandchildren ask us
granddaddy
were you an +rs+hole back then?
