about
I thought I understood 'normality' in Politics, Economics, Human Nature and life in general...until we began focussing on how my world was run during COVID.
lyrics
Between the joker in the big house and the fool across the pond
It seems whichever way you turn these days, there's no-one to depend on
Cousins turn against their cousin - while right-wing voices cheer them on
And any kindly thoughts or wisdom is long-forgotten or long-gone
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and blame be a sign that we're...Living in extraordinary times
People always seem to suffer, from one empire to the next
And the need for greed and power has disastrous effects
So, can we now depose the architects...the rich, religion and elite
And treat everyone as cousins and live responsibly
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and blame be a sign that we're...Living in extraordinary times
Complaints of economic lockdown by a virus strain from bats
But all the poverty they generate - well, they're okay with that!
Migrant families make the crossings with the borders out of reach
To make a front page for the media - one dead baby on the beach
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and blame be a sign that we're...Living in extraordinary times
It seems whichever way you turn these days, there's no-one to depend on
Cousins turn against their cousin - while right-wing voices cheer them on
And any kindly thoughts or wisdom is long-forgotten or long-gone
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and blame be a sign that we're...Living in extraordinary times
People always seem to suffer, from one empire to the next
And the need for greed and power has disastrous effects
So, can we now depose the architects...the rich, religion and elite
And treat everyone as cousins and live responsibly
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and blame be a sign that we're...Living in extraordinary times
Complaints of economic lockdown by a virus strain from bats
But all the poverty they generate - well, they're okay with that!
Migrant families make the crossings with the borders out of reach
To make a front page for the media - one dead baby on the beach
Has it always been the same and maybe I just never noticed
Could all the prejudice and blame be a sign that we're...Living in extraordinary times
