๐ Lyrics
There is not a single time or place that I can put my finger on
To single out the moment where we let it go so wrong
But we could take another stance, whether the argument's that strong,
To convince ourselves and make
Another case to say that it wasn't our fault.
It's all fun and games until time wins the race
There's no second place - only one victor.
We fucked it, we failed, we stuck our head into the sand
But maybe there's a chance...
Open your eyes, you'd find a way
To justify, dispute the light from the sky
Even though it's easier to nod your head and carry on
You say we need to stay alert, but our trust's already broken.
And now it's us to blame, you think we won't complain?
When it is us who will bear the weight
You'd never shirk responsibility when delegating accountability
Every second that you wasted, every hesitated breath
Every pillar of this land cracks under the weight of every death
Funding frail infrastructure with hundred year old steps
We've walked this garden path before, this needs to be addressed
We've all make mistakes, but when there's nobody left
Would you still suggest herd immunity?
You fucked it, you failed, you buried your heads into the sand
But maybe that's your plan...
Fuck
How did you know?
When did you get so woke, bro?
Fuck
You got me beat
You watch too much TV
I'll make it my life's work to make sure this song never sees release
I'll report your Spotify account to the HM-mother-fucking-RC
It doesn't take a genius to see the choice we made was wrong
You say we need to stay alert, but our trust's already broken.
And now it's us to blame, you think we won't complain?
When it is us who will bear the weight
I can see it in all of their eyes
The fear, the pain
It's like a drug to me
Faces and names
Never came into frame
My conscience invisible
Morals are bereft
I won't be satisfied until only the rich are left
How could you do this to me?
Laugh as you struggle to breath
My Spotify royalties?
They'll all be coming to me
Our lives are falling apart
You will suffer for your 'art'
Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Bitch.
You cannot do this to me, I'm here for infinity
I don't think you quite understand, your life is in my hands
You've met your match in me
C-O-V-I-D-19
I know it might not be easy
In fact it might be quite hard
It's not the path we'd've chosen
But it won't feel that far
If we all come together
We can build from the start
Create stronger foundations
Community at heart
There's only so long
That you'll keep us locked down
You've won the first few rounds
But this war is ours
You fucked it, you failed, never underestimate our fans
Let's go and buy a van...
To single out the moment where we let it go so wrong
But we could take another stance, whether the argument's that strong,
To convince ourselves and make
Another case to say that it wasn't our fault.
It's all fun and games until time wins the race
There's no second place - only one victor.
We fucked it, we failed, we stuck our head into the sand
