Words and music by Paul Kotheimer. Written May-June 2020

lyrics

What did you do out there in the world
before the shit hit the fan?
Can you even explain why you did what you did
before the shit hit the fan?
Do you feel a twinge of nostalgia
for the little things we used to do?
Would you like everything to go back how it was before...?

Oh and what will the children remember
from before the shit hit the fan?
Will they even believe that there was such as time
as before the shit hit the fan?
Will they say, oh, it must be dementia.
Those poor old folks, they just can’t perceive
that the shit’s been hitting the fan all along
—like, continuously, I believe.

Oh and what will we do out there in the world
now that the shit’s hit the fan?
Can we even imagine the things that need doing
now that the shit’s hit the fan?
Can we brainstorm a next course of action?
—Maybe keep the shit down where it goes?
Can we find the big switch that turns off the fan blades
in time? Nobody knows.
