QUARANTINE LIFE: SOMEBODY


Why won't somebody do something?

Is there none with authority?

Their positions and titles mean nothing

They're as baffled as you and me


Every day, they're appalled and outraged

Highlight issues for us to read

And we ask "Why won't you do something?

Stop whining and tweeting, and lead!"


Beginning to see no distinction 

Both sides are exactly alike

Each one childishly blaming the other

While citizens take up the fight


Many suffer while they take vacations

No thought of their promise to serve

Dollar signs in their eyes block compassion

Their own interests are what they preserve


They see the same evil that we see

They repeat what the ignorant say

As if it wasn't dumb when first uttered

All they do is talk every day


Why can't somebody do something?

Is there no one left who we can trust?

Their positions and titles are useless

"Somebody" will have to be US.
