A man struggles to come to terms with the UK's COVID-19 movement restrictions

lyrics

The UK is in lockdown now the virus has arrived,
We’ve gotta social distance or we could receive a fine,
Y’all only can go out for work, health reasons or for bread,
And when you’re back you wash your hands to stop the viral spread

I’m going outdoors
For the first time of the day
I need to buy my groceries
The rules say that’s OK
I’m going outdoors
Outdoors
I’m going outdoors
In the UK

Sitting in my house again, no cause for me to stay
For there is another reason I can leave the house today
I can exercise (alone or with members of my house)
Long as I stay 6ft away from other people who are out

I’m going outdoors
For the second time today
Feel the wind blow through my hair
The sunshine on my face
I’m going outdoors
Outdoor
I’m going outdoors
Outdoors again

I’ve got to stay indoors now so the rules do specify
I’ve used up all my Government-sanctioned daily outdoor time
And as I stare out through the window pane I cannot help but long
For the outdoors, but I’ve gotta be strong

I’m going outdoors
For the third time of the day
Now I don’t got a reason
I just need to get away
The government drones have come to put me in my place
Because I’m outdoors
I’m going outdoors
Not trying to do harm
But non-essential travel’s taken on a certain charm
The ground beneath my fingertips and bruises on my face
‘Cause I was outdoors
And now I’m in jail
