Easter Is Cancelled - Live

It's time for a new one
A few people have said to us that the next song we're gonna play
The title of it was a grim portent of the events that unfolded throughout 2020
I want you to know that we had no idea this would happen
And we just wanted to make people smile for a minute
To think about what's happening in the world
At no point, we anticipated that the song that we wrote change everything for everyone
Perhaps forever

I die in vain
I have lived to no avail

The path forks before you
Drive in the final nail

A thousand years of chaos and a thousand more
Pestilence and famine, violence and war
Rise of the arse clowns, burning everything
Oh, we cannot trust the air we breathe and the birds no longer sing

Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet Earth

Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance

Peace
Time
Peace on planet Earth
Huh

Tell me, children
Can you live with what you've done?

Aren't you disgusted
By what you have become?

Mesmerized by evil, feasting on their lies
All too high on the smell of your own fear to realize
Spreading disease so they can sell the cure
Goodness is always diluted, evil is always pure

Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet Earth

Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance

Earned a lifetime for an angel
Demons tearing you apart
Consequences of betrayal
In the end, you break your own heart, yeah

Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet Earth

Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance

Alrighty
Okay, I know you're all sitting at home, you're probably quite comfortable
I hope you are
But I want you to raise your hands
Put the mince pie down for a second
Raise your hands up in the air
And then just do what I do
Okay, ready?
All set
Sure?

Okay, cool. Let's do it
Right, just check
That was a test, you passed
Okay
