In the Quarantimes.

Please read: This song does not aim to make light of the virus or the resulting economic hardship. This is not a criticism of quarantine in itself, but highlighting some hypocritical aspects, namely: - Prisoners being set free, while people who break quarantine are being threatened with jail time and fines. - Certain areas and communities are not having lockdown enforced, while otherwise law-abiding people are being cracked down on. - Most people have very restricted movement, meanwhile large amounts of people are being moved around, e.g. around 100 asylum seekers, some of whom are known to be infected with Covid-19 were moved to Cahirsiveen, a small town in Kerry, Ireland that has a large proportion of elderly people. - Many people are out of work and facing serious financial hardship for the foreseeable future. However, foreign workers are being flown in to Ireland and the UK for work such as fruit picking. Apparently many native applicants were turned down or ignored. (Keelings in Ireland has come under fire for flying in Bulgarian workers. They say they need these experienced horticultural specialists. Many people are now boycotting Keelings' products.) *DEFINITELY check out Orlared on Bitchute if you haven't already, as there are many media clips on the issues in the song.* Channel: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/orlared/ Video of walking around deserted Dublin city centre: From Orlared's channel on Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/video/ULJiIXgH5nZ6/

This Covid's taken all my dough
And locked me in my stately home
Pacing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't even cough
Without some panic kicking off
All I've got's this funny sense of doom

Set them, set them set the prisoners free
But if I put one foot wrong,
they'll throw the book at me
And just a few are exempt, it seems,
From this life of quarantine

Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
In the Covid times
It's a no-good time

Policemen stop me in my car
Two kilometres? Too far
Airport's open, bussing in the workers
Now I'm sitting here
Social distance goes with beer
Gazing on a sunny afternoon

Tell me, tell me, tell me please explain
Well if it's the season, why is it they say
That I can't go picking strawberries?
I don't have the skills you see
Locked in on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime

In the Covid times
They're some no-good times
Ah, save me, save me, save me from this disease
Cart infected people to Cahirsiveen
And how can we get this vaccine
If we didn't get the other 18?
It's a little late for April fools In the summertime
Can't afford a fine
Thanks to Chinese lies
In the summertime
Make the most of your time
