They call it a lockdown so I'm locked in, looking out the window I’m boxed in. no words to say no where to stay no one is social no one can play.

They call it a lockdown so I’m locked in. I’m locked up like its pot luck, chains round my neck like Bin Ladin. Am I a criminal this is something criminal I’m placed in four walls like I am an animal

They call it a lockdown so I’m locked up. I cough next to you so I get beat up. Done with the virus tired of the virus, I’m singing the same tune like Miley Cyrus.

They call it a lockdown so I’m locked up. living with my demons I’ve had enough, these politicians making strange decisions, all in the name of keeping their positions

They call it a lockdown I call it locked up. Mandatory vaccinations, police parading stations, no travelling abroad we are stuck.
