Lyrics
Told to panic but not to panic buy I've been trained to buy things my whole entire life And if I'm not gonna leave the house for two weeks We're gonna need something to eat I didn't go crazy, just some cans of food Two bags of pasta, some unperishables There was a meme going 'round about toilet roll So I made sure we had some of that and all And the very next day, all the shelves are deserted And everybody's streaming it live on Facebook Now everyone can see that something big is happening And the system that we know so well is slowly unravelling And everybody everywhere stands to be affected And the word of the day is unprecedented It's been a really, really, really strange day The only thing we know for sure is everything has changed Strange days, oh yes indeed I'm gonna keep on washing them until my hands are clean From the supermarket to the hospital The stocks are dwindling and the beds are almost full An incoming disaster for our NHS As they analyse the numbers and brace for impact We are told to keep our distance from other human beings Don't go to work or attend any gatherings And every time I cough, I feel like I'm infected And if it doesn't kill me, I'll play my part in spreading it But word on the street seems to carry on as planned The train station's crowded and the pubs are rammed It's been another couple of strange days The only thing we know for sure is everything has changed And if we can't follow advice, then new laws will be drawn And for everybody's benefit, we now must stay indoors Locked down and locked on to government announcements Business is closed as the death toll rises Trying to do our best to understand a curve As is everybody in every country in the world Loved ones are lost without a last goodbye The hospitals are full now and there's no end in sight We're all isolated, alone and in the distance And that's never been healthy for us as human beings As the fear, the panic and depression takes over The vulnerable people are more vulnerable than ever Strange days The only thing that's certain now is everything has changed But we must hold on to our hope and know that it will pass And from the ashes, lessons must be learned Now the curtain has fallen, we've revealed our true colours And realised the importance of delivery drivers Doctors and nurses, and people stacking shelves These are the ones who deserve our applause And if we stand a chance at defeating this virus We'll have to rediscover our faith in science In order to survive, we must work together 'Cause the virus doesn't care about religions or borders As we mourn our dead, and our days gone by And prepare for the biggest change in our lives Strange days The only thing that's certain now is everything has changed Strange days, oh yes indeed The whole world must unite to fight this common enemy
