how to survive social isolation

if you have to be alone
alone for a long, long time
if you have to be alone
alone for a long, long time
listen to me, buddy
take this advice of mine

don't sit there in sorrow
feeling sorry for yourself
don't sit there in sorrow
feeling sorry for yourself
'cause if you're looking for help
it ain't gonna come from no one else

set offa your ass
rattle them pots and pans
play them  slow, play them fast
play them any damn way you can
make a lot of noise
that only you can understand

cry if you need to
wail long and loud
tears start falling
like raindrops from a cloud
get out your sadness
this time you won't draw a cloud

sleep all day
party all night long
keep away
all that is stupid and wrong
you can survive
social isolation
just by singing this song

if you have to be alone
alone for a long, long time
if you have to be alone
alone for a long, long time
listen to me, buddy
take this advice of mine
