[Lyrics] ... repeat Verse 1-3 with alternating melodies VerseA/B ... As I walked out all the streets were empty. The government said everyone should stay home And they spread fear and loathing and no hope for the future. Not many did question this very strange move Well, on the government website from the 21st March 2020 It said COVID-19 was no longer high risk Then two days later they put us under lockdown. Then why are we not being told the truth? By all the media outlets and th? government lackeys Why is this not big n?ws, why is it being ignored? Why no checks and balances, why no second opinions? Why are they working, and why are we not? [Outro] ... repeat and fade ... /---3/8----\
