Melody: Star Spangled Banner:
O, why do you pee
On our prized liberty
Our lives have gone stale
Our homes are now jails
You are just a politician
Half your facts are just fiction
Your so-called 'epidemiologists'
Are actually necrologists
And your Dr. Ngozi Ezike
Delivers stats in a way
To make death sound like relief
From your daily news brief
O, say do your restrictions
Feel just like CV afflictions --
In this land of Illinois
There's just no more joy
PLAY BALL! ~
NO, SORRY! OOPS!
DON'T PLAY BALL!!
