about

An upbeat song with an infectious chorus all about the coronavirus pandemic

lyrics

It started at the end of last year
Who could have know it would cause such fear
seem like another disease a million miles away
It arrived at all shores and it’s here to stay

Such much worry, panic & trepidation
Many questions, & a lack of information
Has it been blown out of proportion
Or are we right to exercise such caution?

Wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face
Surely this pandemic won’t end the human race
We’d been warned by Gates before
But as ever we’d chosen to ignore

-----------------------------------------

CHORUS
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
We never saw it, saw it coming
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
Stopped us all from hugging
Turning life upside down & inside out
Putting everything we’ve know in complete doubt
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
We never saw it coming

_______________________________________


Stay inside, don’t go out
Life is facing a total blackout
Don’t meet your friends
Don’t even shake hands
Seems we have to give in
To all its demands

But we are the human race
We can defeat Covid-19
We got doctors & experts
Warning us all about hygiene
With knowledge and tenacity
We gotta beat this corona
It’s attacked New York
Madrid, London & Verona

You can’t use 400 toilet rolls
You can’t eat 6 tons of pasta
No need at all to stockpile
Cos there’ll be life herein after

_____________________________________

CHORUS
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
We never saw it, saw it coming
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
It’s stopped us all from hugging
Turning life upside down & inside out
Putting everything we’ve know in complete doubt
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
We never saw it coming
__________________________________

Look after each other
And respect the rules
Kids at home all day
Cos there ain’t no school

Life carries on
Despite the restrictions
We know we will win
We got our convictions

CHORUS
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
You ain’t gonna beat us
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
Never will defeat us
Thanks to this menace
We got clean water in Venice
People queueing for food
No one on the tube
We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
You ain’t gonna beat us

We’re in a lockdown, We’re in a lockdown
Never will defeat us
