Lockdown

Locked down and escaped much notice 
First press and government say it's not  too  serious 
Then things  go delirious 
Next your terrorised with uncertainty 
Then your patronised with vagueness 

Some will volunteer 
Stand right their hold my beer 
Others will happily sack the staff 
While sitting by the swimming pool
You trusted me 
You stupid fool 
Welcome to the golden rule 
I ll keep my stash of cash 
While you fist fight over toilet rolls 

Most are stuck at home 
Most make the best 
 others live with fear of
some one they could not stand 
Even Before things got out of hand

That's when the screaming starts 
Some families now will break our hearts we ll hear  about it

in the press a separate death toll of pain full lives

shrink down  further in distress  
 

 Others   will take their lives 
Can not function now at all 
When everyday actions turn into crimes 
We are living though such pressing times 

Be vigilant 
Too vigilant 
Everyone's gone militant
What's in your shopping trolley 
Looking  at that bloody wally 
Judgementalism the new spectator sport in over drive 
it's news onslaught 

Tabloids and social media 
Creating mass hysteria 
Please give it a rest 
If not cast your first Stone at  me 
If you can not let other people be 
We prioritise in different ways 
You can not see that in the haze 
I will not practice hourly hate 
You do it your way 
Alright mate 
The young and old in different camps 
No schooling for the little scamps 
No outside for the very old
Their life inside seems very cold 
When husbands died and kids are grown and moved away 
Where  is the will to carry on ?

They got it from then little circle 
Their church 
There God 
To them the Internet is odd
They do not like this strange new age where little kids are I pad slaves reach out to them you have the time their loneliness is the real crime 

Who goes their? 
Suddenly it's  east Germany   
With everyone on  house arrest
Just stay at home and make the best 
The way it must be but not the best 
You will get no argument from me  

Do nt let your house become a tomb 
Find what little freedom that you can 
What others think do nt give a damn 
All curtain twitchers live in hell 
Have boring lives 
they really smell 
Do nt become like one of them 
Instead seek the inner peace 
Or common cheer 
This crap will finish by next year 

What if you can nt stay at home 
Your jobs to help the vulnerable 
I am one within that number 
My job was stressful to begin 
Now add to that the shit we re in 
The lesson out of Spain's quiet clear 
Some will stay and do their jobs 

Others fear the angry mobs
Yet you feel watched by a million eyes 
All sat at home and terrorised 
You do not have a uniform 
A stereotype you do nt conform 
So please calm down judgemental types and think 

A picture paints a thousand words 
But who knows what troubles lie behind it 
Not everyone who shops in bulk is doing it for them selves 

The money is on its way 
You ll struggle to make it to that day
Everything has been shut down 
In a world run by stupid clowns 
You always knew this was the case 
But did nt loss your sleep at night
Because you knew might made them right 
They have all the money all the power 
But you always knew they where a a shower 
Now they have enshrined this power 
You sit at home at every hour 
Watching as things gain pace 
While real life's a snails pace 

New laws come in to effect
Oh god what comes next 
We have zero  normality 
Facing our mortality 
But still we lack the clarity 
To know what's coming down the stretch
Is the race half run or just begun ? 
no rebel I  again fate
I will not practice the hourly hate 
But what will happen down the stretch I do not like been put to the test endurance only lasts so long 
And many times I ve been proved wrong 

When will our minds all be at rest 
Only when with stood this test 
So hang on in their while you can 
And do not curse your fellow man
