Can't Do This Again

By Bruce Clifford

Lock down again
We can’t go back there
That space in my head
Can’t do this again
Can’t go through it again

Covid kids running amuck
Faceless wonders don’t give a buck
Running around like a solo duck
Makes no sense when running out of luck

Can’t do this again
We can’t go back to that
All the words that were said
Can’t go through it again
Can’t do this again

Here we go again
Here we are my friend
Lock it down
Say it proud
Shout it out
Sound out loud

Can’t do this again
The world has gone mad
Facing what we once had
Remembering what we once said

Figuring this all out
Make some noise when everyone shouts
There’s always a way to live without
All this panic, fear, and doubt

Can’t do this again
The world has gone mad
Can’t go through this again
Just can’t do this again
