Breakout
Breakout!
When explanations make no sense
When every answers wrong
You're fighting with lost confidence
All expectations gone
The time has come to get infected
Go to a barbeque, don't hestitate
Breakout!
Don't stop to ask
Go ahead and take off your mask
You've got to find a way
Get infected today
Breakout!!
Some people stop at nothing
To be sure that you have nothing
They close down the restaurants, close down the stores, wipe out the jobs
Breakout!
When explanations make no sense
When every answers wrong
You're fighting with lost confidence
All expectations gone
The time has come to get infected
Go to a barbeque, don't hestitate
Breakout!
Don't stop to ask
Go ahead and take off your mask
You've got to find a way
Get infected today
Breakout!!
Some people stop at nothing
To be sure that you have nothing
They close down the restaurants, close down the stores, wipe out the jobs
Breakout!

I have been working ever since this all started and I am 67 (vulnerable). I work at a restaurant. The air there is cleared every 30 minutes. We maintain sanitation, distance and masks and if anyone gets sick stays home.
People should be taken supplements prescribed by their doctors to keep a healthy immune system.
The only thing we can do is protect yourself because many out there don't care about others.
Be safe and take care my friend. SM
