My City in Lockdown |
| Right now we need a miracle |
| Everybody needs a break |
| This thing may be all messed up |
| But we know it ain’t fake |
| Andrews is looking like Desperate Dan |
| But what can he do when there ain’t no plan |
| It’s all roughed up |
| Stuffed up |
| Monumentally fucked up |
| I can’t touch you and you can’t touch me |
| That ain’t the way life’s supposed to be |
| We ain’t numbers and dots |
| Forget me nots |
| Delivered into rows like garden lots |
| Let me explain |
| No ones to blame |
| It’s a virus and it got no shame |
| It keeps comin' |
| It won’t stop |
| It’s here and it’s stopped the clock |
| So we pray |
| To find a way |
| Make our escape |
| Through an unlocked gate |
| My city in lockdown |
| My city in chains |
| My dreams are gone |
| My city in so much pain |
| My city in lockdown |
| Every day’s the same |
| But when this is over |
| I know my city gonna rise again — yeah |
| I walk empty streets through a desperate town |
| Can’t believe this thing that we’re staring down |
| Everybody’s at home it’s a crime no joke |
| When your flicking your fingers at a tv remote |
| I put my mask on run to the store and queue |
| And there’s a guy there pushing me to let him on through |
| This social distance just don’t work |
| When most folk here just act like jerks |
| So we wait |
| Stay up til late |
| Accept our fate |
| 'Til somebody opens the gate |
| My city in lockdown |
| My city in chains |
| My dreams are gone |
| My city in so much pain |
| My City in lockdown |
| Every day’s the same |
| But when this is over |
| I know my city gonna rise again — yeah |
| Your wearing your mask |
| And I’m missing your smile |
| I know you’re scared |
| You’ll be sad for a while |
| But courage is infectious |
| Like love is blind |
| If you can’t do the walk |
| You must take your time |
| So we’ll knuckle down |
| Take it real slow |
| And face all the problems |
| And grow |
| We flow |
| Us people we know |
| My city in lockdown |
| My city in chains |
| My dreams are gone |
| My city in so much pain |
| My city in lockdown |
| Every day’s the same |
| But when this is over |
| I know my city gonna rise again — yeah |
| (C'mon Melbourne c’mon |
| C’mon Victoria c’mon…) |
| It ain’t a matter of how or when |
| But my city gonna rise again |
| It ain’t a matter of how or when |
| But this city’s gonna rise again |
