May Day, May Day, May Day
This is a distress call
May Day, May Day, May Day
Can anybody hear me?
I am trapped indoors
With a man who beats me
I am out on the streets
Coz I can’t pay my rent
I am forced to work
In dangerous conditions
I am made to risk my life
To deliver Amazon parcels
May Day, May Day, May Day
This is a distress call
May Day, May Day, May Day
Can anybody hear me?
I have been told
To inject myself with bleach
I have been arrested
For being outside
My future’s being stolen
By liars and cheats
My government hates me
And wants me gone
I have to walk 200 miles
To reach my home
A fire is raging
Throughout the camp
I don’t have any water
To wash things safe
I am losing my mind
Alone in these four walls
May Day, May Day, May Day
This is a distress call
May Day, May Day, May Day
Can anybody hear me?
My planet is being attacked
By ravenous beasts
My brothers and sisters
Are struggling to breathe
My mother died alone
In a care home bed
I have been beaten up
For ‘looking Chinese’
My fear is being
Exploited for profit
I am being pursued
For a banker’s debt
I’m being mugged
For all of my data
I’m watching with horror
People dying around me
From out of this crisis
Hear me cry
May Day, May Day, May Day
Yes I hear you
My sisters and brothers
We cannot go back
To the old ‘normal’
Because it was broken
And this virus
Has magnified
All its flaws
May Day, May Day, May Day
Let it remind us
Of what we can do
What we have achieved
When we all strive together
For a better world
They may take our money
Our homes, our jobs
Our very lives
But don’t let them steal
Our love or our hope
May Day, May Day, May Day!
This is a battle cry
May Day, May Day, May Day!
Can everybody hear me?
