Plague Medal

I walked the way home

I have walked for all my life

I know each inch of it

Even in darkest night

This plague has lasted many months and many lives

Some got sick in their bodies

Some in their minds

I stumbled closer to the sound of a vast crowd

Thousands of voices coughing

Kick the straggler out!

Huh

Then in my fingers I felt the skin of a football

I won the match and now I wear the plague medal

(I won the match)

I won the match and now i wear -

Nothing will ever be the same

I won the match but not the game

What good is living through a plague

When all's at the end is a lousy fucking medal

(I won the match)

I won the match and now I wear

Wear

Huh-uh

Plague

Medal

Eee-ie

Now the year's over

Next to begin

No more sad trophies

To lose and to win
