Try to be patient, try to keep your cool It's affected everybody, not just you Not just me, not just us Times have changed for all of us As we emerge into a world full of rules and regulations Hand sanitizer and one-way systems Confusing messaging and nervous sneezes When there's still nobody to believe in Remember that patience is a virtue And that manners come for free And what really makes the world go round Is generosity And everybody knows that everything's changed But the fundamental things have stayed the same Surely we can still tell good from bad Right from wrong and happy from sad And wherever you are, when you're out on the street Be good to the people that you meet Remember that patience is a virtue And that manners come for free And what really makes the world go round Is generosity It's just a passing fall for this collection of ditties We're in on the fly in two thousand and twenty A year that everybody would sooner forget But we know they'll leave its mark on the history books Not that books exist anymore That's just a metaphor Well, maybe some good can come of this Hidden underneath all of that tragic shit Didn't we know the world needed a shake-up? This is your chance, now go out and get some And tell them that patience is a virtue And that manners come for free And what really makes the world go round Is generosity And what really makes the world go round Is generosity
