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 |
