Above is the link for the instructions track. You need to download and hear this track before you record for the project. Thank you.

SO! I have another chance to get my patrons on a song I'm recording. I'm doing a proper folk song chronicling 2020 and how it's affected... everything in the US, including conventions and their ability to exist. I want YOU to join me in singing the chorus. Lyrics:

"Aye Aye! We shout for the captain

Oh woah, we ask what is this?

So stay 6 feet from me and keep the mask on

for this is a year when we won’t have a con"

If you want to be a part of this song, please download the instructions track. You will need the following:

-Headphones, and something to play the backing track from

-A recording device, e.g. a cellphone.

This is gonna be  a 6-verse-long part 1. When we get to 2021, I'll do another 6 verses about how the REST of the year ended up. Here are the full lyrics. Please make sure I don't say anything you're gonna have a hard time putting your voice next to. It contains opinions.

No Conventions This Year

D G D

In late January, we heard of a virus

G   D A(sus)  D

Some kind of flu that was some kind of worse

The gameshow host told us that he’d have to fire us

if we stoked concerns about going to work

G   D/F#   Em D/F# (repeat)

Lie luh lie, it’ll die when it’s warmer

Lie luh lie, It will just disappear

Lie luh lie, only old people get it

G   D/F#   Em    A

Lie luh lie, well at least it’s not here

Chorus:

Bm  F#m G     A

Aye Aye! We shout for the captain

Bm  F#m G     D

Oh woah, we ask what is this?

   Em         D/F#

So stay 6 feet from me and keep the mask on

G    D A(sus)  D

for this is a year when we won’t have a con

Got through February, and not much had happened

it’s over in China, and we’ll be okay

Never mind the Italians, there’s no need to stay in

Arizona and Washington just have 1 case

Lie luh lie, Less than 50 infected

Lie luh lie, you see, no one has died

Lie luh lie, we should still go to C-PAC

Lie luh lie, “Berners won’t vote for Bi-den

Chorus

For the last time this year, we went to the airport

off to Virginia, the start of a tour

Maybe someone was coughing, and asked what you’re there for

Just go to the doctor, unless you are poor

Lie luh lie, Who did this? Obama

Lie luh lie, There’re plenty of tests

Lie luh lie, no co-pay for treatment

Lie luh lie, I’m doing my best

Now New York’s exploded. They run out of doctors.

Dragon con’s cancelled, so’s BLFC

For 2 weeks or longer you might be a “Walker”

Lock down, unless you’re a broke employee

Lie luh lie, it’s all because China

Lie luh lie, Take hydrochoroquine

Lie luh lie, yeah sure you can protest

Lie luh lie, bail the rich out again

Chorus

The police were out doing their unprovoked murders

Minneapolis said that enough was enough

In all 50 states our protectors and servers

beat up your children to show that they’re tough

Lie luh lie, We’ll stop using tear gas

Lie luh lie, he deserved to die

Lie luh lie, don’t trust your own eye balls

Lie luh lie, while we lie luh lie lie

Chorus

In the heat of the summer, here come the evictions

Landlords need rent so they don’t have to work


Mask up or die, and hold strong your convictions

Owning a house is one wealthiness perk

Lie luh lie, sure we’ll donate the money

Lie luh lie, to combat ALS

Lie luh lie, get your ass back to work now

Lie luh lie, we’ll get out of this mess
