Van Morrison — As I Walked Out

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Verse 3] 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? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Verse 3] 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? [Outro] 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?
