Just play one of the karaoke tracks at the bottom of the page, substitute the lyrics below, and boom, you're doing parodoke!


I Just Don’t Like People Anymore

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yeah, I’m not afraid to let it show
We started out all masking, but no longer
Are people who were glad to let it go

I tell myself that this cannot last forever
As people laugh and say I live in fear
But you masked up too, back in 2020
You said you would protect me
When you thought the end was near

But this goddamn pandemic
With no real end in sight
Is dragging on forever
All alone I fight this fight
I get more exposure than I ever thought I might

And I just don’t like people anymore
I've forgotten why I liked them once before
With every new infection, you ignore
Long Covid can’t be cured, it’s forever

'Cause I just don’t like people anymore
I've forgotten why I liked them once before
You cough and say your throat is always sore
Pass out on the floor
Baby, I just don’t like people anymore

My life has been even worse since back-to-normal
I've been wonderin’ why you left my ass behind
You should know by now that your vaccines won’t protect me
But you still refuse to mask up
As I fall by the wayside

And this goddamn pandemic
With no real end in sight
Is dragging on forever
All alone I fight this fight
I get more exposure than I ever thought I might

And I just don’t like people anymore
I've forgotten why I liked them once before
With every new infection, you ignore
Long Covid can’t be cured, it’s forever

'Cause I just don’t like people anymore
I've forgotten why I liked them once before
You cough and say your throat is always sore
Pass out on the floor
Baby, I just don’t like people anymore
