Extraordinary Times

Whilst the Outback was on fire
Man let commercial desire
Control his futile reactions
Letting it burn through his civilisation
Rain came to halt all the rampage
Away goes the media coverage
Remains the ashes of nature
But life goes on and so what's it to you

And oh how we live in such extraordinary times
We all wonder how this mess came to be
Some lives go on in these extraordinary times
Whilst they all have it out for world supremacy
So when will be the end of these extraordinary times

Tensions uprising in the Middle East
With Green Zone attacks on the embassy
Amidst the Persian Gulf Crisis
Reactions will change on a day to day basis
So blame it on our human nature
To divert bad press from the papers
Your airstrikes with no hidden benefit
But it'll carry on 'cause you're addicted to conflict

And oh how we live in such extraordinary times
We all wonder how this mess came to be
Some lives go on in these extraordinary times
Whilst they all have it out for world supremacy
So when will be the end of these extraordinary times

This classified pandemic's got us locked down
Going further deeper into this unknown
The Government is crumbling under pressure
Whilst Britain falls apart with its people in danger
It's a classified pandemic so stay inside
Spread it more and it's an everlasting riptide
And each day this country it is worsening
But workers carry on 'cause they are simply outstanding

And oh how we live in such extraordinary times
When we all wonder how this mess did come to be
Some lives go on in these extraordinary times
Whilst they all have it out for world, world supremacy
So when will be the end of these extraordinary times
And I'm asking myself why did they come to be
Have we met the end in these extraordinary times
