We're all locked away. I wrote a song. I gave myself one day to record everything. I wanted to change a few bits, but that was the rule. Here's what I made. If you like it, please share it with your friends.

lyrics

To...anybody listening
The storm is on its way
A goddamn tidal wave of...
Mass produced fear and hate
Board up the windows
Arm yourself to the teeth
They’ll knock you off your feet
To put you six beneath

They...
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Lock the doors and hide inside
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Until you leave this world behind
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Quarantined inside our minds
No escaping to the world outside

The apocalypse is nigh
Infecting you and them and I
The world is tearing at the seams
Dystopian bred anarchy
Utopia broadcast through wires
Light the fires, keep them burning
Even if if the world stops turning

Let this...fear mongering
Be the death of our believing
In the words of those who lead
Us to our deaths
When will they confess?

They...
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Lock the doors and hide inside
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Until you leave this world behind
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Quarantined inside our minds
No escaping to the world outside

Is this waking up?
Or is this shutting down?
Lock your dreams away
This ghost town’s just a memory

They...
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Lock the doors and hide inside
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Until you leave this world behind
Pump it out, pump it out, pump it out
Quarantined inside our minds
No escaping to the world outside
