Don't Lock Me Down

 Yes, it has been a long time since I have posted a little ditty. I have been stuck on a liner that no port would allow to dock. A few of us lowered a lifeboat late one night, and after evading the Coast Guard, we made shore and barely avoided a government imposed quarantine. Now, I find myself unable to perform my music due to a shutdown of the arts and I am under a lockdown. 

This came to mind sung to the tune of "Don't Bring Me Down".

Sittin' at home goin' out of my mind

You got me jobless,  I'm on my last dime

Don't lock me down

Refrain: 

No, no, no, no, no

Ooh-ooh-hoo

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't lock me down

Okay for you to eat out with your fancy friends

I'm tellin' you, it's got to end

Don't lock me down

Refrain

Don't lock me down, Gov 

Don't lock me down, Gov

Don't lock me down, Gov

Don't lock me down

What happened to the smiling politician I put up there?

You sold your soul to the Devil somewhere

Don't lock me down

Refrain

You're always talkin' 'bout what you think is right

One of these days, we're gonna have to fight

Don't lock me down

Refrain

Don't lock me down, Gov 

Don't lock me down, Gov

Don't lock me down, Gov

Don't lock me down

You're lookin' good, just like a snake in the grass

One of these days, we're gonna break your ass

Don't lock me down

Refrain

You got me starvin', got me wastin' away

You got me crawlin' up the walls everyday

Don't lock me down

Refrain
