Not Alone - Fleur East

2020 yeh we’re living in some strange times

But we’re all in this together at the same time

It’s getting difficult and yeh it’s pretty crazy

But you can stay at home and nobody can call you lazy

Think about it

All the times you called in sick

Every single alarm you snoozed, every sick note, every trick

Think of every annoying colleague, all the ones that stole your juice

Now you can stay at home with a legitimate excuse

Think about it, we can all fulfill our dreams

You can sit in your pants and have a work conference on teams

You know what I mean

I know your kids can make you scream

But you can hold them close, tuck them in, watch them dream

At the supermarket

Instead of clearing the shelves

You should stay at home, that’s what’s really good for your health

Look at toilet paper, what’s wrong with us?

You can wash your bum in the shower, like what’s the fuss?

I know things are out of balance, I know things are kinda off

I used to cough to hide a fart and now I fart to hide a cough

Make the most of it

'Cause it won’t last forever and the minute you’re back at work you’ll be

complaining about the weather, or slagging off your boss or moaning about

whoever

You’ll be booking a flight at leisure for your business or your pleasure

Don’t just think about yourself, think of everyone

You can stand up for the world by just sitting on your bum

I know you’re stuck inside and you’re going out of your mind

And the world keeps spinning while you try to pass the time

Sit down, sit down, lock down, lock down

I know you’re all dressed up and you got nowhere to go

But you’re not alone

It won’t discriminate, it’s affecting everyone

No matter who you are, rich, poor, old, young, faith, race, face nothing makes

you immune

You can shut the door and the whole world’s in the same room

Think about it

This will all be like a bad dream

We’ll wake up and read about the days of quarantine

The calendar droppers and the house party rockers

All the Tik tockers, Channel hoppers

Toilet roll stockers, To the pajama boppers

The conspiracy plotters, WiFi blockers, fridge stockers, meme swappers

Yeah It’s time we started acting smart

We need to come together by just keeping apart

I know you’re stuck inside and you’re going out of your mind

And the world keeps spinning while you try to pass the time

Sit down, sit down, lock down, lock down

I know you’re all dressed up and you got nowhere to go

But you’re not alone

I know you’re stuck inside and you’re going out of your mind

And the world keeps spinning while you try to pass the time

Sit down, sit down, lock down, lock down

I know you’re all dressed up and you got nowhere to go

But you’re not alone

To my brothers and sisters

You’re not alone

All the people round the world

You’re not alone

One life, one choice, one world, one voice

You’re not alone

To everybody on the frontline, saving lives

You’re not alone
