Don'T You Think

Don’t you think Don’t you think it scary how quickly life can change A global alteration in not so many days How quickly status levels and money has no place In the outcome of tomorrow or whether we’ll be safe As a nation we’re so stubborn, think that we know best Twist advice we’re given to satisfy ourselves Oh if we do that we’ll be ok, its just a little trip It won’t make any difference, yes it will so get a grip We’re told so very simply to quarantine ourselves Stay in, stay safe, protected From the killer that’s out there Help The heroes of the NHS to do the fighting for us They’re our frontline and our best hope to Eradicate the virus We’re in the midst of battle – the Battle of the Bug And this time it is serious, there is no magic drug Or pill to pop so all is well when we wake up tomorrow For many now each day they live is time they have to borrow The world we knew is changing it will never be the same Its cities stand like ghost towns just waiting to decay If we work together every woman child and man We can make a nicer future, we really really can So care for one another not only for today For in there lies our future, there is no other way
