Virus lyrics - Ani Difranco

I was so deeply pleased to pause this life

I think I jinxed the world and caused this strife

Yes, I longed so long for fewer nouns

I longed so well, the world shut down

And now the kettle is calling the pot black

I call you virus but you don't call me back

So I just keep listening to my own voice

In the echo chamber of my choice

Touché, I say, and mazeltov

To the kind of ride you can't get off

Can't, that is, until you must

You win, I give in

In less I trust

And now the kettle is calling the pot black

Yes, I call you virus but you don't call me back

So, I just keep listening to my own voice

In the echo chamber of my choice

I was so deeply pleased to pause this life
