The Coronavirus Prison Blues

by Christopher Hill & The Stardust Crush

/

about

A song about the problem of Coronavirus in prisons and the inequity that affects Black and Brown People.

lyrics

It’s the hotel with the grey bars
Stoney lonesome don’t you see
Black or brown or white and poor
They got a place for you to be

Now in lock up there’s a virus
A tsunamis of death greed
If you’re not seen as human
Your under water trying to breathe

Social distance a few inches
We’re here sleeping head to toe
You might not believe in heaven
But here’s the hell where people go

Dear good person can you help us now
If you think that we’re so guilty
Check out congress, check the dow
The greatest criminal minds among you
Always seem to stay free somehow
while we
Are just literally trying to live in the now
Help! we matter too… dying to get out?

I’m here waiting for my court date
Opiodes… and meth lines
Told me I should cool my heels here
For your health and mine

Now the beast is in my voice box
Now the beast is in my lungs
Coughed blood up in the morning
Ventilators? Don’t got none!

Chorus 2x

You'll hear folk and rock, electronica and world music. My themes are about justice and community but also contain paranormal subjects such as Ufos, ghosts, space-aliens and alternate realities. ... more
