| [00:03.755] | I am teacher who works on a farm |
| [00:08.946] | Immunity barcode tattooed on my arm |
| [00:13.731] | But the children must eat, education can wait |
| [00:19.622] | I coax up the carrots til quarter to eight |
| [00:24.921] | And if I don't farm then nobody eats |
| [00:29.916] | And if nobody eats we're in pain |
| [00:35.156] | What if someone declared a black death but nobody came? |
| [00:43.323] | |
| [00:46.151] | And the Ibis hotel is a hospital now |
| [00:51.103] | The conference centre's a morgue |
| [00:56.883] | The city's so quiet, I can't get used to it |
| [01:01.730] | The police have turned into the Borg |
| [01:07.011] | Saw a lonely flaneur with a drone overhead |
| [01:12.369] | With a thin metal voice that shrieked out as it said: |
| [01:17.880] | "You have the choice to be thrown in a cell or go home" |
| [01:25.914] | |
| [01:29.559] | Empty Paris, empty Berlin |
| [01:33.464] | Empty London, New York, empty Dublin |
| [01:39.208] | Empty Lagos, Johannesburg, Moscow, LA |
| [01:44.873] | Empty Adelaide, empty Belgrade |
| [01:49.679] | And I dig on the farm, this tattoo on my arm |
| [01:55.624] | Proving I've come through the plague |
| [02:01.021] | And when this squeeze is over and we all recover |
| [02:06.382] | Perhaps we will drink lemonade |
| [02:10.071] | |
| [02:11.925] | I had a partner but she's disappeared |
| [02:16.871] | And I'm not used to living alone |
| [02:21.947] | Well the hard work all starts when the loneliness hurts |
| [02:27.389] | And sometimes I wish we'd both gone |
| [02:32.537] | And I'm scared of the government, scared of the Russians |
| [02:37.890] | And scared of these criminal pricks |
| [02:43.040] | When I head out to work at a quarter to five |
| [02:48.866] | They all watch for signs that I'm sick |
| [02:53.100] | |
| [02:54.386] | And where once there was motion now there's just stubbornness |
| [02:59.657] | Where once was health we're just ill |
| [03:04.677] | Feral rats have invaded the Quai de la Monnaie |
| [03:10.236] | Foxes took over Cafe Kitsune |
| [03:15.027] | In the Palais Royale it's now head-high with weeds |
| [03:20.716] | Food rots in the Carrousel du Louvre |
| [03:25.786] | In Ikea I see only chaos and fear |
| [03:31.622] | A ghost town where nobody moves |
| [03:36.053] | |
| [03:37.083] | Empty Paris, empty Berlin |
| [03:41.624] | Empty London, New York, empty Dublin |
| [03:46.978] | Empty Lagos, Johannesburg, Moscow, LA |
| [03:52.997] | Empty Adelaide, empty Belgrade |
| [03:57.829] | And I dig on the farm, this tattoo on my arm |
| [04:03.624] | Proving I've come through the plague |
| [04:08.688] | And when this squeeze is over and we all recover |
| [04:14.603] | Perhaps I will drink lemonade |
