James Harriman - We Can Make It Out Of This Okay

Well the university’s shut down and the schools they followed suit
Soon they shut down coffee shops and the bars and the clubs too
And social isolation doesn’t look that great to me
Home schooled education and the work home quarantine
But if we all stick together we can make it out of this okay
The artists take to Facebook, Youtube, Instagram for vids
Hoping they’ll go viral so they can earn a couple quid
Cos no one wants a live show, you’ve got to stay two feet apart
I’m streaming them from my iPhone, so that I can do my art
But if we all stick together we can make it out of this okay
I lost my job on Friday, I can hardly make ends meet
And all the idle bartenders just get pissed and smoke and eat
And shoppers raiding supermarkets with too much for themselves
Mean extra jobs at co-op checking food and stocking shelves
But if we all stick together we can make it out of this okay
My mate Dave’s a DJ, he’s signing on today
Turns out no one’s going out to see people pressing play
And global pandemic can bring a country to its knees
And in these times of panic there’s one thing we all need
It’s to all stick together and we can make it out of this okay
And so I’ll write a silly song, in a desperate way
To somehow take advantage of the problems of today
And maybe leave a message telling you to do your part
Or at least bring you some happiness with my witty remarks
Well if there’s one last thing that I’m trying to say
Help each other out in the community
Just for now remember, till it goes away
If we all stick together we can make it out of this okay
We can make it out of this okay
We can make it through the rainy days
We can make it out of this okay
