Lyrics Cousin Chat Room - The Cocker Spaniels

Our cousin just got killed in broad daylight
Shot by one of his own so-called friends
And we just lost Grandma six months ago
It seems like the grieving never ends
It sucks that we all live so far apart
And I miss hanging out with you so much
But I thank God for the technology
That makes it easier to stay in touch

Because the cousin chat is open
Invite all the cousins now
But nobody over 40
The elders ain't allowed
The memories and inside jokes
The funny memes and playful roasts
Better to laugh together than cry alone
I'll see you there after I charge my phone

Every funeral feels so fraught
With all of our parents' petty beefs
Whispered arguments in every pew
None of us can truly mourn in peace
Promise me we'll be better than that
We'll still fight from time to time, I'm sure
But can we talk things out and let them go?
Show our elders how to be mature?

Right now, it isn't safe to go outside
A family reunion would be hard
We can't chill on Grandma's old porch
Or have a barbecue in her backyard
An airborne virus took my aunt away
And every unmasked stranger makes me mad
We can't even have a funeral now
So the cousin chat room's all we have
