Maybe the world won't seem so terrible Yeah, it wasn't just what we hoped to see We might have started too optimistically So if we keep our expectations low Maybe the world won't seem so terrible Dial back to when the year had begun We were looking forward to the end of hibernation But it didn't even last a week No, it didn't even last a week On the sixth day of 2021, Vanilla ISIS tried to flip the election.

But looking back, we can't agree on the facts, no, we can't agree. Pretty soon we were signing up for shots, talking about shots. Everyone was a farmer fan, with the Pfizer fam, the Moderna clan. But we should have known Delta would happen most of humanity not getting vaxxed and fourth wave

Wake up, reality don't fit Hope you don't need a house or a condo Hope you don't need a trip to Toronto Hope you don't need some gas for your Durango Hope you don't need a can of dried mangoes Everyone is feeling frustration Quitting jobs, the great resignation Blaming Biden for rising inflation

Maybe the world won't seem so terrible I just want to be free of thinking about Covid-19 and I just want to see something done about global warming And I still don't get NFTs Can't understand cause of currency And we can't agree on anything But at least we got together to free Britney

Oh, Britney, baby 2021, it was gonna be fun Get a couple shots and then you're done Then the second the year'd begun We had an insurrection And people lied about the last election It made it harder to vote in elections At least we don't have another election Wait, I think there's another election We lied about the last election It made it harder to vote in elections

At least we don't have another election Wait, I think there's another election 2021, it was gonna be fun Get a couple shots and then you're done Then the second we thought we'd won We're learning how to say Omicron Guess you never know what's gonna come through Making plans for things you'll never do.

But take it from a brown guy and a Jew, there's always 2022.
