Music We Didn't Start The Fire
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
