We Didn't Start the Virus

Massive Oz
Language: English




Wet markets, travel ban,
all the way from Wuhan,
lock down, Italy singing from the balcony

Trump's to blame, lack of tests,
hospitals are out of beds, elderly,
conspiracy, freedom gone away

Borders closed, stocks crash,
trouble with the big banks, quarantine,
no toilet paper to be seen

Facebook, fake news, it's just another flu,
apocalypse, end of days, CNN has gone insane

We didn't start the virus,
it began with bats maybe through pangolins
We didn't start the virus,
but now the pubs are closing so the world keeps turning

Isolation, 14 days, public masses stay away,
no more church, cancelled plans,
sport in front of empty stands

Everybody on the streets,
panic buying everything,
all events postponed until another day

Work from home, sick leave,
closing down whole industries,
airplanes turn around or never leave the ground

School is out, shops closed,
no one knows where they can go,
no more jobs, rent is due,
tell me what I have to do

We didn't start the virus,
it began with bats maybe through pangoliins
We didn't stat the virus,
but now the pubs are closing so the world keeps turning

Washington Nursing Home,
Diamond Princess cruise boat,
Tom Hanks, Trudeau's wife,
the Brazilian politician guy

Everybody from Milan,
Olympics in Japan, football,
even Coachella is gone

Anger with the government,
thningituey are slow to react,
epidemic, pandemic, face masks in demand

Hand rails, crowded trains,
you should never touch your face,
if you're sick change your plans,
everybody wash your hands

We didn't start the virus,
it began with bats, maybe pangolins
We didn't start the virus,
but now the pubs are closing
so the world keeps turning

1918 Spanish flu, SARS 2002
Ebola, west Africa, HIV and AIDS
Hand, foot and mouth disease
Cancer, hepatitis B
Small pox, common cold
and the bubonic plague

Dengue fever, Zika virus,
measles, mumps, meningitis
All these years, all the science,
still we're not prepared

We didn't start the virus,
it began with bats, maybe pangolins
We didn't start the virus,
but now the pubs are closing
so the world keeps turning
