Good Morning Covid

Wake up in the morning
And I switch on my TV
There's a conference on
For all the world to see

He reads out some numbers
That tomorrow you'll forget
But he says
We're not like New South Wales yet

There was a time when I could leave my land
Good morning COVID
Good morning Dan

Trying to step outside
For a thirty-minute walk
And I see a friend
But I can't stop and talk

I like online learning
But I'm hating the 5km
I feel like I should escape
Some way

Will it be a lockdown or a ban?
Good morning COVID
Good morning Dan

Have you ever reached the end
Where you've tried to pretend
That everything's alright
But you know it's not?

And by the time you turn eighteen
And you're off to university you know
That by then the apartments
Will cost a lot

When will I get to see my aunty again?
Will it be a year or two, or maybe ten?

Hating how this government
Can't roll out the vaccine
Oh, and yes, the milkshake ad I have seen

I can't go now, but until I can
Good morning COVID
Good morning Dan
