This song was written around July 2020. I am a straight white male and in 2020 I was especially privileged compared to what many many many marginalized and less fortunate people went through.

lyrics

Hey neighbour, how have you been?
I didn't recognize your face with all this time that's passed
I didn't recognize your voice without the wall to muffle
I didn't recognize your feet without the ceiling between us

Hey family, how have you been?
I apologize that we've still never had you for Christmas
I too fantasize of a time that we'll all be together
I empathize that you've been walking miles in your living room

Officer Krupke, keep hanging in
Nobody minds a little rot in their golden delicious
We know your plates are way too full for you to care about Black Lives
Nobody wants you to sacrifice your pensions for justice

Mr. President, welcome again
We didn't realize this time that you had shifted our focus
We didn't realize that you'd made peaceful gathering illegal
We didn't realize our marches would be met with violence
We didn't realize that you had silenced our voices
