LOCKDOWN!

The original 'LockDown' was written in February 2020, as Boris Johnson's lockdown was looming.

This version was created in early November 2024. 

"You can be a strongman, a dancing queen,
You still gotta do your time in quarantine, 
The fit and well, the hail and hearty, 
No one but THEM get to go to the party.

Lockdown! Lockdown! 
Lock down city, lock down town, 
Mother earth is a battleground!

Governments all, to get their way. 
Cover up the agenda at the heart of the play. 
A cashless society, the microchipped prole, 
Forced vaccination, total control.

Lockdown! Lockdown! 
Lock down city, lock down town, 
Mother earth is a battleground!

To remake the people, reconfigure, rewire us,
The drugs didn't work, 'twas time for a virus,
Mass vaccination, microchipped man,
In a cashless society, was always the plan.
Is that what the final solution must be?
The whole thing patrolled by the might of 5G?
5G to empower the final programme,
Our world forever, owned by THEM!

Lockdown! Lockdown!
Lock down city, lock down town,
Mother earth is a battleground!

For every clown a season, for every fool a time,
For every generation, a brand new crime.
They say lockdown, I say prison,
Whatever it is, I lay the blame on globalism.

Lockdown! Lockdown!
Village Green, pastoral scene,
Lock 'em all away in quarantine!

We're gonna live forever, the Cassandras were wrong!
The virus is for old folks who've lived too long!
We are gonna party, we are gonna play,
No matter what the medical profession might say!

Lockdown! Lockdown!
Lock down city, lock down town,
Mother earth is a battleground!"
