We didn't take the warnings too seriously
When they shut us all down we all hit the beach
It's hard to be afraid of what you cannot see
It all happened so slow, and then so suddenly
We are where you will soon be
We are where you will soon be
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
We stood on balconies and sang till our throats got sore
As husbands raged and raised hands behind closed doors
We mourned our loved ones and old enemies
Learnt to ignore sirens echoing down empty streets
We are where you will soon be
We are where you will soon be
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
And when it's all done we will not forget
The kindness of strangers
And the guilt of the ones who tried to profit from the mess
The politicians' fatal fails
Today we pick up the pieces
But tomorrow we will rage
We are where you will soon be
We are where you will soon be
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
