Lockdown Blues

I sit here strumming the strings on guitar I'm pondering the moment it all went bizarre See back then things were just fine The days were steady and the sun did shine One day on the news the shit hit the fan Hitting me hard when I had no backup plan P forty five on its way to my door I have no clue of what is in store The future not planned out or clear to see Tonnes of bills to pay and mouths to feed These lockdown blues are getting on me It feels like I'm stranded out at sea These lockdown blues are killing me I long for the day we can finally break free The following day the virus hit home Gotta sit back and isolate alone Bad news is coming from every angle I'd rather not take this massive gamble A house to pay for and kids to feed All this strain for someone else's greed I'm already sick of daytime TV They push bad news like it's full of glee These lockdown blues are getting on me It feels like I'm stranded out at sea These lockdown blues are killing me I long for the day we can finally break free Feels like the weight of the world rests on me The people close to us, we cannot see Worrying about passing on this disease The whole damn countries now on its knees Scandals one week and a race war the next We're stuck indoors and we're feeling perplexed Maybe next month it'll all be done Or maybe the end has just begun? These lockdown blues are getting on me It feels like I'm stranded out at sea These lockdown blues are killing me I long for the day we can finally break free These lockdown blues are getting on me It feels like I'm stranded out at sea These lockdown blues are killing me I long for the day we can finally break free
