Lyrics Not Alone - Fleur East

Not Alone

2020 yeh we’re living in some strange times
But we’re all in this together at the same time
It’s getting difficult and yeh it’s pretty crazy
But you can stay at home and nobody can call you lazy
Think about it
All the times you called in sick
Every single alarm you snoozed, every sick note, every trick
Think of every annoying colleague, all the ones that stole your juice
Now you can stay at home with a legitimate excuse
Think about it, we can all fulfill our dreams
You can sit in your pants and have a work conference on teams
You know what I mean
I know your kids can make you scream
But you can hold them close, tuck them in, watch them dream
At the supermarket
Instead of clearing the shelves
You should stay at home, that’s what’s really good for your health
Look at toilet paper, what’s wrong with us?
You can wash your bum in the shower, like what’s the fuss?
I know things are out of balance, I know things are kinda off
I used to cough to hide a fart and now I fart to hide a cough
Make the most of it
'Cause it won’t last forever and the minute you’re back at work you’ll be
complaining about the weather, or slagging off your boss or moaning about
whoever
You’ll be booking a flight at leisure for your business or your pleasure
Don’t just think about yourself, think of everyone
You can stand up for the world by just sitting on your bum
I know you’re stuck inside and you’re going out of your mind
And the world keeps spinning while you try to pass the time
Sit down, sit down, lock down, lock down
I know you’re all dressed up and you got nowhere to go
But you’re not alone
It won’t discriminate, it’s affecting everyone
No matter who you are, rich, poor, old, young, faith, race, face nothing makes
you immune
You can shut the door and the whole world’s in the same room
Think about it
This will all be like a bad dream
We’ll wake up and read about the days of quarantine
The calendar droppers and the house party rockers
All the Tik tockers, Channel hoppers
Toilet roll stockers, To the pajama boppers
The conspiracy plotters, WiFi blockers, fridge stockers, meme swappers
Yeah It’s time we started acting smart
We need to come together by just keeping apart
I know you’re stuck inside and you’re going out of your mind
And the world keeps spinning while you try to pass the time
Sit down, sit down, lock down, lock down
I know you’re all dressed up and you got nowhere to go
But you’re not alone
I know you’re stuck inside and you’re going out of your mind
And the world keeps spinning while you try to pass the time
Sit down, sit down, lock down, lock down
I know you’re all dressed up and you got nowhere to go
But you’re not alone
To my brothers and sisters
You’re not alone
All the people round the world
You’re not alone
One life, one choice, one world, one voice
You’re not alone
To everybody on the frontline, saving lives
You’re not alone
