As I Walked Out - Van Morrison

As I walked out all the streets were empty

The government said everyone should stay hope

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 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 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?
