about

Another Covid-19 themed track, this song is basically a rant over who is really affected by a global pandemic.

lyrics

Nothing to Fear

Reality hit, our world in a fit
Kids can’t go out and play
Economy’s tanking, our politicians wanking
The news getting bleaker each day

Our livelihood gone, the virus has won
The future seems dire and fearful
There’s no going back, all things to distract, this
Quarantine can’t keep us cheerful

There’s nothing to fear, but fear itself
Words from years long before
We never knew fear till our planet appears
Fallen to a pandemic war

Perhaps there is more than meets the eye
Conspiracies run wild every day
The rich and elite, still dine and they greet
Nothing will stand in their way

People grow restless, with human emptiness
Freedom appears on the brink
Politics heated, our government ceded
Solutions that all seem to stink

There’s nothing to fear, but fear itself
Words from years long before
We never knew fear till our planet appears
Fallen to a pandemic war

We’ll surely remember, like our soldiers before
Who have served in times of need
The suits say go, the men always know
To their profits the military heeds

If comes a time, the people must rise
Take a stand and say no to the wealthy
The rich steal away, their armies to play
Hosts for the covert and stealthy

There’s nothing to fear, but fear itself
Words from years long before
We never knew fear till our planet appears
Fallen to a pandemic war
