LYRICS It all started at my birthday They say you better stay home for a while I’ve been fired but I feel OK I called my dog and walked down for a mile. But people look at me as I’m so strange And all of them are talking behind a mask “You such an asshole, cover you face!” they say But I still don’t know why What’s going on, what have I done now? Then I realized that fuckin’ virus came to town… They say we got to stay home just for March But sooner changed idea and said April / May Police is coming with the drones from the sky Well, I will obey Seeing my friends on Whats App for a call And got some beers sticked up in the fridge Living a lockdown Spring Leading a masquerade Summer It’s hard to breathe now, I’m just feeling down Wearing this fucking musk in the lockdown And all the people just look like the same, It’s even hard to recognize my friends. Got to stand up boy ‘cause now it’s your turn And there’s a lesson that you’ve never learned You always thought ‘bout your pride and yourself, But now there’s someone else… What would you do if you have to die now? I’m pretty sure you’ll play the last show wiith your band! Do you remember the day you born? You feelin’ safer, now you’re alone. No friends to call now, no place to go, Those days were better, but carry on! Life is a journey, someday i twill end, Live it with girlfriends, live it with friends. Yesterday chidren, tomorrow men, If no tomorrow… Live for today! *** SPIEDO BRESCIANO RULEZ *** SHOW LESS
