going it alone

we weren't the first to get it
saw plans other pursue
saw the list of failures
and actions that wouldn't do
they were johnny foreign
they're not like me and you


we saw the death toll rising
the panic and the fear
the lockdown and restrictions
on border and frontier
but we're not Johnny Foreign
we won't do that stuff here

as the deaths started rising
from equipment that we lack
lockdown was essential
to counter viral attack
but we're not Johnny Foreign
we stand by the union jack

the EU tried to help us
but we want to be alone
deaths have stop rising
so we've a tracker on the phone
the future too uncertain
to borrow a bankers loan
