Van Morrison - As I Walked Out lyrics

As I walked out, all the streets were empty
The government said everyone should stay home
And they spread fear and loathing and
No hope for the future
Not many did question this very strange move

Well, on the government website from
The 21st of March, 2020
It said COVID-19 was no longer high risk
Then two days later they
Put us under lockdown
Then why are we not being told the truth?

By all the media outlets
And thе government lackeys
Why is this not big nеws?
Why is it being ignored?
Why no checks and balances?
Why no second opinions?
Why are they working and why are we not?

As I walked out all the streets were empty
The government said everyone should stay home
And they spread fear and loathing and
No hope for the future
Not many did question this very strange move

But on the government website from
The 21st of March 2020
It says COVID-19 was no longer high risk
Then two days later Boris
Put us under lockdown
Why are we not being told the truth?

By all the media outlets
And the government lackeys
Why is this not big news?
Why is it being ignored?
Why no checks and balances?
Why no second opinions?
Why are they working and why are we not?

Why are they working and why are we not?
Why are they working and why are we not?
Why are they working and why are we not?
Why are they working and why are we not?
Why are they working and why are we not?
