(CHORUS):
Everything was fine then along came 2020,
Thought I knew where I was heading and my vision was 2020,
It was all going steady then we entered in to 2020,
Looking back I wasn't ready, but hindsight's 2020,
None of us were ready…

(VERSE 1):
Living on the edge of a volcano,
We refuse to believe it could one day blow,
Till we're in the middle of a modern day Pompeii
And we're lost in the smoke as the Gods take hold,
King or a queen or a John/Jane Doe,
All your best laid plans, one great joke,
Cos it's all bets off when we all get dropped
In the belly of the beast where the entrées go,
Gorging on info, product of the silicone age,
Still yearn for the innocent days, I'm Citizen Kane,
Sittin' in my invisible cage,
Hit a switch in my brain, I'm Phineas Gage,
Struggle to engage in a cynical game
Where privately-educated idiots reign,
But the so-called unskilled keep the world spinning,
All of my heroes are on minimum wage

(PRE-CHORUS x2):
And I don't know who pulled the rug away,
If we'll go back to how it was or find another way,
But I'm just happy I can live to see another day…

(CHORUS)

(VERSE 2):
The western world gets weary, carrying a heavy load,
Tethered to the past, but how can we let it go?
And there's no way we can bury it,
While we keep reaping the benefits from the seeds that we never sowed,
Welcome II the Terrordome, where the pot to the kettle
Is the copper with the metal so the pressure grows,
Empires crumble, monuments fall,
Nothing's ever set in stone,
So as recession sets in we brace for depression,
Gazing into the black mirror, face our reflection,
Viral violence
But the poison's the cure so we're raising the rate of infection,
No answers but we're raising the questions,
Small deeds over the greatest intentions,
In 2020 we took a lot of losses,
I just pray we retain all the lessons

(PRE-CHORUS x2 + CHORUS)

(OUTRO):
A strong dose of reality,
Sobered up, holding on for sanity,
When the ground’s pulled out we all fall down,
And things’ll never be the same

Another dose of, “No but how can it be?”
Suddenly snapped out a dream, hit with the force of the gravity
When the sirens sound we all fall down,
And things’ll never be the same
