How long can this go on this time?
Guess they tried it on for size
Took our rights before our eyes
Fear-mongering media hypnotized
Accountants, please tell my why
In our so-called free society
Is freedom just a memory?
I'm watching you, you're watching me

Damage and recovery
I'm not where I'm meant to be
Lockdown brought this misery
Now it's damage and recovery

Snowflakes hiding in their houses
Most of us need to get right back to work
Money doesn't grow on trees
Jobs don't thrive on barren ground
Narrow-minded politics
So-called social scientist tricks
Telling lies and deceive us too
Watching me, you're watching you

Damage and recovery
I'm not where I'm meant to be
Lockdown brought this misery
Now it's damage and recovery

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah

Snowflakes hiding in their houses
Most of us need to get right back to work
Money doesn't grow on trees
Jobs don't thrive on barren ground
Narrow-minded politics
So-called social scientist tricks
Telling lies, they're meant to be
Watching morons on TV

Damage and recovery
I'm not where I'm meant to be
Lockdown caused this misery
Damage and recovery damage and recovery
I'm not where I'm meant to be
Lockdown caused this misery
Now it's damage and recovery

Damage, recovery damage, recovery
Damage, recovery damage, recovery
Damage, recovery damage, recovery
Damage, recovery damage, recovery
