lyrics

Dear Friend,
I hope this email finds you well
in these bad times it’s hard to tell
and let’s be honest this is hell, so probably not

Dear Friend,
it’s been a while, we should chat
how is your mom/ dog/ husband/cat?
it must be evening where you’re at, so let’s have gin

Dear Friend,
I’m only checking in
in these unprecedented times
to see if you’d like to renew that subscription

Dear Friend,
I know I’m late on editing
I know I’m late on everything
I’m hoping you’ll find it endearing, oh, you don’t

it’s a difficult time in a difficult age
(we’re so grateful for your continued support)
but we need to know which team you’re on
(which team you’re on, which team you’re on)

I know it’s an intense time right now
when so many people are struggling
so I hate to bother you, but I must ask
can you give us $10 by midnight?

Dear Friend,
I’ve only just received your note
it’s so damn lovely that you wrote
I loved the cartoon of the goat that stayed in bed

Dear Friend,
the death cult GOP
is shredding our democracy
and if you care then you must give us more money

Dear Friend,
I’m sorry that I didn’t call,
I’m having trouble with it all
it’s somehow very tiring staring at the wall

but still there is much to be grateful for
(wishing all my best to you and yours)
I hope at least this reassures
(wishing light and love from mine to yours)
all best, and thanks, and cheers, I miss you, friend.
