The virus is spreading, I'm under lockdown
They got a quarantine on the whole town
No face masks left from coast to coast
Running out of the things folks want the most
As everyone stays home and waits
To find out what might be their fate

The biggest flows of refugees
Across the Mediterranean Sea
On the move, ever more
From Honduras to El Salvador
Reactionaries on the rise
Mussolini reprise

It's 2020 – the decade's just begun
With any luck, we just might make it to 2021

Reigning over rioting mobs
Tired of the lack of decent jobs
Without lives that people want to live
Something, it seems, had to give
Fascists looking for someone to blame
From India to Brazil, it's the same

Bush all burning, towns destroyed
Then the flooding, filling the void
Left by the loss of the plants and soil
But they keep digging for coal and drilling for oil
As if the end times weren't right here
“Just go shopping, do not fear”

They're miniaturizing nukes again
Red buttons, subs and orange men
Resistance grows on many lines
From rebellions to election signs
Yellow vests, austerity
Billionaires and Bernie

The virus is spreading, I'm under lockdown
They got a quarantine on the whole town
