This is my entry to the 2020 tiny desk contest. It’s called Up Again and this performance is dedicated to all the Essential Workers who have to work during the pandemic. Much love to you all you are not being paid nearly enough 💖 Stay safe and healthy💖 Lyrics:
Exhausted but we run on the fumes we have
It’s better than the alternative
Breakfast this morning non existent again
Can’t be late to work again
Lunch time can’t come soon enough
Top ramen again yeah that’s the stuff
Struck down but not out for the count
Get up again and again for as long as we can
Ramen for lunch again
Don’t know how I’m gonna make rent again
It’ll be the days end soon enough
Leaving work going home yeah that’s the stuff
A couple hours of free time
Use it to cook dinner and eat dinner before sleep time
And then before you know it,
It’s time To wake up and do it again
We run on pain like cars do gasoline
Yeah Pain runs on us like athletes on a treadmill
Wounded but we’ll recover
We always do, we have to
Soon It’s the end of the work day again
Can’t stomach another day like this again
Hope We won’t have to soon enough
We’ll get crushed again, and again we will get up
We’ll get crushed again
We’ll get up again
Yes, again we will get up
