Stage 5 Lockdown

In the Great Shutdown 2020

There was a leader sitting on the throne

Some called him ‘comrade’, others, ‘dictator’,

If you got on the beers you know you were either legend or traitor

At the height of the fear, in came the rulings

To stop the mingling, fornication, and drooling

5,000,000 limited by the crucial growth factor

Unless y’all had a ticket to an out-of-town chiropractor

I still remember the hour

When Uncle Dan shut down the power

No lights, no water

Lost connection in this town…

Stage 5 Lockdown

Yes it was

The good inquisitors trying to dig out the liar

The Murdoch media were doing their bit and stoking the fire

The North Face Jacket-style of personal branding

The AUSLAN legend there for more understanding

I still remember the hour

When Uncle Dan shut down the power

No lights, no water

Lost connection in this town…

Stage 5 Lockdown

Yes it was

Stage 5 Lockdown now, go

One day in August when the storm came through

Out went the power, warm went the booze

You would not see it now on the news

But everybody knew just the question of who

I still remember the hour

When Uncle Dan shut down the power

No lights, no water

Lost connection in this town…

Stage 5 Lockdown

Alright now

Yes it was

Stage 5 Lockdown: Melbourne.

Oh, Stage 5 Lockdown.
