(of talking ‘bout the viral pandemic)

So bored, that Carly Simon got the same treatment as Queen in my slightly odd temper tantrum. Some tunes lend themselves to alternative lyrics for when I’m feeling particularly frustrated. “You’re So Vain perfectly” lends itself to the feelings of frustration and irritation.

Enjoy! (or not)

I stepped into your taxi
Just like many mornings before
Your mask strategically dipped below your nose
Mine covered half my face
With one eye on your mobile phone
You prepared your soapbox rant
And then you burbled the stats about Covid
Stats about covid, and

I’m so bored
Of talking ‘bout the covid pandemic
I’m so bored (I’m so bored)
Of hearing bout the covid pandemic
Aren’t you?
Aren’t you?

Oh, I’ve heard all of the theories,
Conspiracies and facts
If I hear one more rant, telling me why I’m wrong
And that we’ll never again be free,
I will lose it and tear someone apart.
And watch as the body cools.
I had a dream that this whole thing was over.
The whole thing was over, and

I’m so bored
Of talking ‘bout the covid pandemic
I’m so bored (I’m so bored)
Of hearing bout the covid pandemic
Aren’t you?
Aren’t you?
Aren’t you?

I had a dream that this whole thing was over.
The whole thing was over, and

I’m so bored
Of talking ‘bout the covid pandemic
I’m so bored (I’m so bored)
Of hearing ‘bout the covid pandemic
Aren’t you?
Aren’t you?

Well, I heard the measures in the UK.
And those in the USA
Then you told me your thoughts on “young people.”
And why they now to blame
Well, I see you’re not sticking to the rules.
So why on earth should they.
I’m so sick and tired of hearing the same thing.
Hearing the same thing, and

I’m so bored
Of talking ‘bout the covid pandemic
I’m so bored (I’m so bored)
Of hearing bout the covid pandemic
Aren’t you?
Aren’t you?
Aren’t you?

I’m so bored
Of talking ‘bout the covid pandemic
I’m so bored (I’m so bored)
Of hearing bout the covid pandemic
I’m so bored
