Inconvenient Disaster

players had just taken the court
shooters about to take their aim
just then a breaking news report
please don’t interrupt my game

really sorry for your disaster
I know that you are not to blame
but could you just get through it faster
and please don’t interrupt my game

earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes,
news reports all sound the same
still one simple fact remains
please don’t interrupt my game

it sucks about your tragedy
people die and that’s a shame
not blind to your catastrophe
but please don’t interrupt my game
