作曲 : David Stefan Rovics There's foreboding in the air Waiting for an earthquake Pandemic spreading No telling how it might remake A world so divided In so many, many ways Anyone can see It's no way to greet such days When you can shut your borders But it'll barely slow the spread With a million people homeless And not enough hospital beds In times like these we find out That a society Is only just as strong As our solidarity The foreboding in the air Can get only thicker As we see our leaders Passing blame and getting sicker A crashing economy Leaders fraught with indecision Only capable of thinking Like bought-off politicians Not enough testing kits And the ones you got were broken But hey The president has spoken In times like these we find out That a society Is only just as strong As our solidarity A million people wake up In the morning thinking Thoughts they never had Til they found that they were sinking On a cruise ship full of holes Where if you can't catch the breeze There are no fences tall enough To keep out the disease Lifting every boat Or watching them all sink Ready or not We're standing on the brink In times like these we find out That a society Is only just as strong As our solidarity Contain an epidemic Like in Wuhan or in Seoul Or watch a catastrophe Take its toll Hide behind our gates Cowering, afraid Or organize our neighbors In mutual aid In synchronicity Such great things can be done A planet to lose Or a world to be won In times like these we find out That a society Is only just as strong As our solidarity In times like these we find out That a society Is only just as strong As our solidarity编辑于2023/12/15更新
