The Lockdown blues
I woke up this morning
I got the blues
Cos my life is turning ways I don’t
Care for or approve
I got the blues
I got the lockdown blues
I scrolled the news
I scrolled the gram
I was told to make the most of it
Well fuck off, I’m dammed
I got the blues
I got the lockdown blues
I try and find the positive
Be shiny and bright
I try and find the positive
But right now I just can’t fight
I got the blues
I got the lockdown blues
I don’t wanna paint a picture
I don’t wanna knit a scarf
It feels like hiding all my misery
In glitter and craft
I got the blues
I got the lockdown blues
Indulgent ranting of the privileged
I beat myself with my own stick
Children starving, systems breaking
Go for a walk, don’t be a dick
I got the blues
I got the lockdown blues
Honouring my feelings
Being true to who I am
Today allow the pain and angst
To rage aloud and howl
I got the blues
I got the lockdown blues.
