If You Don't Wear A Mask (You're Showing What An Ass You Are) Well, you know that you can be a racist And maybe no one will know And you can be a sexist and homophobe If you know how to not let it show Yeah, you can claim to be a Christian And you can claim to be pro-life But if you don't wear a mask We know that you're a fucking liar Chorus: Well, if you don't wear a mask You're showing what an ass you are Yeah, if you don't wear a mask You're showing what an ass you are If you don't care enough about others To think of the lives you could save Well, I won't forget to put roses on your grave Well, I was raised to believe that everyone Deserves a fighting chance And I was raised to believe that everyone Should help everyone they can But if you think that you're above it And you refuse to understand Well, you might be a lot of things But you're damn sure not a man Chorus: Well, if you don't wear a mask You're showing what an ass you are Yeah, if you don't wear a mask You're showing what an ass you are If you don't care enough about others To think of the lives you could save Well, I won't forget to put roses on your grave You've got to do the right thing You've got to do the right thing You've got to do the right thing You've got to do the right thing You've got to do the right thing You've got to do the right thing You've got to do the right thing You've got to do the right thing Chorus: 'Cause if you don't wear a mask You're showing what an ass you are Yeah, if you don't wear a mask You're showing what an ass you are If you don't care enough about others To think of the lives you could save Well, I won't forget to put roses on your grave No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

about

This song is a direct response to fake patriots and phony Christians who claim to care about others but don't even have the basic human decency to do the least they could do, which is to wear a mask in public while we're in the middle of a pandemic.

I wrote this song after my wife was made to go back to work (when she was doing just fine from home working through computer) and one person there refused to wear a mask even though everyone else was decent enough to do so.

Between that, Donald Trump's tragic, deadly mismanagement of America, and the lack of real leadership from our Governor Brian Kemp, I felt compelled to write this song confronting them all outright for what they are.

I hit up a few super talented musician friends and they jumped right in and added what they do better than I ever could've if I'd had to do it alone.

The musicians on this song are:

Chris McKay (Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar)
Andrew Hanmer (Drums)
Bryan J. Howard (Bass)
Jason NeSmith (Piano)
Adam Poulin (Fiddle)
Gee Rabe (Accordion)

And a massive group of friends on backup vocals that we'll call The Masketeers.

Jason NeSmith stepped up and produced and mixed this monstrosity and Benji McKay put countless pieces parts together for a video.

Thank you to everyone who donated their time and energy to this ridiculous, pissed off, stupid, serious, necessary song for the summer of 2020.
