0:02Melbourne city c'mon
0:08Melbourne city c'mon
0:11C'mon Melbourne c'mon
0:22C'mon Victoria c'mon
0:25Right now we need a miracle
0:27Everybody needs a break
0:29This thing may be all messed up
0:32But we know it ain't fake
0:35Andrews is looking like Desperate Dan
0:38But what can he do when there ain't no plan
0:41It's all roughed up
0:42Stuffed up
0:44Monumentally f**ked up
0:46I can't touch you and you can't touch me
0:49That ain't the way life's supposed to be
0:52We ain't numbers and dots
0:53Forget me nots
0:55Delivered into rows like garden lots
0:57Let me explain
0:58No ones to blame
1:00It's a virus and it got no shame
1:03It keeps comin'
1:03It won't stop
1:06It's here and it's stopped the clock
1:08So we pray
1:10To find a way
1:13Make our escape
1:16Through an unlocked gate
1:18My city in lockdown
1:21My city in chains
1:24My dreams are gone
1:27My city in so much pain
1:30My city in lockdown
1:32Every day's the same
1:35But when this is over
1:38I know my city gonna rise again yeah
1:41I walk empty streets through a desperate town
1:44Can't believe this thing that we're staring down
1:47Everybody's at home it's a crime no joke
1:50When your flicking your fingers at a tv remote
1:52I put my mask on run to the store and queue
1:55And there's a guy there pushing me to let him on through
1:58This social distance just don't work
2:01When most folk here just act like jerks
2:03So we wait
2:06Stay up 'til late
2:09Accept our fate
2:12'Til someone opens the gate
2:14My city in lockdown
2:17My city in chains
2:19My dreams are gone
2:22My city in so much pain
2:25My city in lockdown
2:27Every day's the same
2:30But when this is over
2:33I know my city gonna rise again yeah
2:37Your wearing your mask
2:38And I'm missing your smile
2:39I know you're scared
2:41You'll be sad for a while
2:42But courage is infectious
2:43Like love is blind
2:45If you can't do the walk
2:46You must take your time
2:47So we'll knuckle down
2:49Take it real slow
2:50And face all the problems
2:52And grow
2:53We flow
2:55Us people we know
2:58My city in lockdown
3:01My city in chains
3:03My dreams are gone
3:06My city in so much pain
3:09My city in lockdown
3:12Every day's the same
3:14But when this is over
3:17I know my city gonna rise again yeah
3:21C'mon Melbourne c'mon
3:27C'mon Melbourne c'mon
3:32C'mon Melbourne c'mon
3:38C'mon Victoria c'mon
3:42It ain't a matter of how or when
3:45But my city gonna rise again
3:48It ain't a matter of how or when
3:51But this city's gonna rise again
3:53It ain't a matter of how or when
3:56But this city's gonna rise again
