lyrics

Chorus
They turn my home into ghost down
When they put us under lockdown
To stop a virus on a death mission
They had no choice, they had no plan
They turn my home into ghost down
When they put us under lockdown
Now we know a world of restrictions
Are these the signs of life to come

Mixed messages and deflection
Are what they giving to the nation
When it should be the facts, the real facts
Not their facts that forming opinion
But they never give us the benefit of the doubt
When is big things we talking ‘bout
Just a wishy, washy, nancy story, how we gonna win
When we want them speak the truth
That the hope we need will bring

Chorus
They turn my home into ghost down
When they put us under lockdown
To stop a virus on a death mission
They had no choice, they had no plan
They turn my home into ghost down
When they put us under lockdown
Now we know a world of restrictions
Are these the signs of life to come

Now they have a new appreciation
For the workers whose profession
Is to guard the health of the population
Thank you for your dedication
Those who pay through their nose for their education
And don’t get proper incentive or remuneration
Now they’re at the frontline of this silent invasion
While those on top bring confusion with their instruction
Why you think you could run a country by slogan
That don’t bring clarity when we need action
Like testing and vaccine and proper protection
For those in health care do their job with distinction
Not in fear of daily putting their lives
Beyond the risk of destruction
For a grateful nation
Sadly led by poor communication

Chorus
They turn my home into ghost down
When they put us under lockdown
To stop a virus on a death mission
They had no choice, they had no plan
They turn my home into ghost down
When they put us under lockdown
Now we know a world of restrictions
Are these the signs of life to come
