Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
Where have you been?
Stuck home in lockdown
glued to a screen.
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
What did you see?
Much too much netflix
Endless TV.
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
Are you still there?
Pretty much yes
Still stuck in a chair.
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
What happens next?
Getting out soon
They've developed a test.
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
Will normal resume?
Not sure it will yet
Not any time soon.
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
Any regrets?
How can there not be?
Too many deaths.
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
They did their best
Then how come our death rate
Is worse than the rest?
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat
What can I say?
The truth will out one day
and someone will pay.
