Viral Solidarity - David Rovics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:01.999]There's foreboding in the air
[00:04.062]Waiting for an earthquake
[00:07.302]Pandemic spreading
[00:08.608]No telling how it might remake
[00:10.593]A world so divided
[00:12.160]In so many, many ways
[00:14.407]Anyone can see
[00:15.844]It's no way to greet such days
[00:17.724]When you can shut your borders
[00:19.631]But it'll barely slow the spread
[00:21.564]With a million people homeless
[00:22.897]And not enough hospital beds
[00:25.378]In times like these we find out
[00:28.304]That a society
[00:29.532]Is only just as strong
[00:33.476]As our solidarity
[00:38.440]The foreboding in the air
[00:40.477]Can get only thicker
[00:42.358]As we see our leaders
[00:44.004]Passing blame and getting sicker
[00:46.198]A crashing economy
[00:47.844]Leaders fraught with indecision
[00:49.907]Only capable of thinking
[00:51.475]Like bought-off politicians
[00:53.591]Not enough testing kits
[00:55.184]And the ones you got were broken
[00:57.039]But hey
[00:58.920]The president has spoken
[01:00.722]In times like these we find out
[01:03.413]That a society
[01:05.032]Is only just as strong
[01:09.081]As our solidarity
[01:14.123]A million people wake up
[01:15.978]In the morning thinking
[01:17.989]Thoughts they never had
[01:19.112]Til they found that they were sinking
[01:21.333]On a cruise ship full of holes
[01:23.109]Where if you can't catch the breeze
[01:25.120]There are no fences tall enough
[01:26.871]To keep out the disease
[01:28.934]Lifting every boat
[01:30.371]Or watching them all sink
[01:32.382]Ready or not
[01:33.898]We're standing on the brink
[01:36.118]In times like these we find out
[01:38.887]That a society
[01:40.271]Is only just as strong
[01:44.294]As our solidarity
[01:49.571]Contain an epidemic
[01:50.929]Like in Wuhan or in Seoul
[01:53.228]Or watch a catastrophe
[01:55.004]Take its toll
[01:56.781]Hide behind our gates
[01:58.427]Cowering, afraid
[02:00.229]Or organize our neighbors
[02:02.084]In mutual aid
[02:03.729]In synchronicity
[02:05.297]Such great things can be done
[02:07.465]A planet to lose
[02:08.902]Or a world to be won
[02:11.174]In times like these we find out
[02:13.656]That a society
[02:15.145]Is only just as strong
[02:19.220]As our solidarity
[02:21.467]In times like these we find out
[02:24.157]That a society
[02:25.594]Is only just as strong
[02:29.591]As our solidarity
