[2020]
Lyrics & music by Lee Shapiro
In 2020

“A song about power, politics and medication. Along with anger, fear, depression and hopelessness. I wrote this song on 02/02/2020 and recorded it at 2020 (8:20 pm), just before the CoronaVirus became a pandemic and before we became aware of it. So, perhaps this song should be called "2020 Part 1".
I had three things on my mind: Politics, pain and my mental health. All of which seems to be deteriorating by the day. The Democratic Party has let me down and I’m resigned to be stuck with Trump for another 4 years. My doctors have let me down. They’ve teamed up against me, and it seems they’re more concerned about getting in trouble with the government than they are with my quality of life. I’ve been extremely angry and scared for so long because of this, but have finally become numb and now feel powerless. I’ve given up the fight. I just don’t care anymore. And that’s what this song is about”.
Well, it can happen to anyone ...
[Spoken:] Recorded at 2020, at 02/02/2020

I've seen the hatred
spread across the land
When crooked politicians
take a proud stand
I've felt the darkness
spread inside my mind
I used to care,
but now I leave it all behind

Money and Power lets evil rule all
Bloody encounters as our freedom falls
Seems kind of funny money and sin
We saw it all coming but we let 'em all in

In 2020, No one sees clearly
In 2020, Hatred so severely
The year begins just like the last
You'd think we might have learned
from the past

I trusted my government
to do the right thing
I trusted my doctors
to take away my pain

It comes down to money to screw us all
My pain gets worse I can barely crawl
Now the doctors treat me like I'm an addict
They say their hands are tied by the government

In 2020 they got me hooked
In 2020 now I get dirty looks
Now they want
to take it all away
'cause the DEA clamped down and make the sufferers pay

I got the Camel Blues to cheer me up
But I got no more money
so I had to give 'em up
Could be Gods way of saying Time to quit
So I got no Oxy and I got no cigarettes

Oh 2020 – won't you please treat me gently
Oh 2020 – 'cause inside I'm feeling empty

In 2020 sounds like the future
In 2020 But it came much sooner
They gave me hope
then took it all away
'cause the government fucked up
and got nothing more to say

You're either with us
or against us
Pick a side
it really doesn't matter
Red or Blue
Get over being played
'cause the government fucked up
while the rich get overpaid

Oh 2020 – won't you please treat me gently
Oh 2020 – 'cause inside I'm feeling I'm feeling so empty

Oh 2020, oh 2020, oh 2020
'cause you leave me here so goddamn empty
