COVID Lyrics by Jack Rootes

2020

[Intro - Boris Johnson]

"Good evening. The Coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades, and this country is not alone. All over the world, we're seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer. Without a huge, national effort, to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope, because there won't be enough ventilators, enough intensive care bеds, enough doctors and nurses. If too many peoplе become seriously unwell, in one time, the NHS will be unable to handle it, meaning more people are likely to die, not just from Coronavirus, but from other illnesses as well."

[Verse 1]

I don't know how I got here
All I know is everywhere I go, I spread fear
Started with your grandparents just for practise
No other modern pandemic can go and match this
So you can stand back and witness
With a mask on your face like you're Stanley Ipkiss
As I destroy your economy and your way of life
I'm always here, no matter the time of day or night!

I'm a big killer, on a global genocide
Foolish mortals think I'm made to be weaponized
Whatever the case, it's possible I might be
The main reason why you hate the Chinese
Some say I'm an accident, with some complications
Others say I'm made to control populations
Governments constantly bend to my whims
Hands, face, space doesn't mean a damn thing!

[Hook]

Yeah, you know I'm there
I infect without a care
You better stay inside
If you wanna survive

Maybe now it's clear
Already ruined your year
Taking lives is such a game
You already know my name

[Verse 2]

And it's only a matter of time
'Till I get you and your health declines!
I find it humorous that under my tyranny
You mortals snap at the 5G conspiracies
So you burn towers down with no conscious
Getting everybody worked up over nonsense!
I know what you look like, better hope you last
Long enough 'till the point you don't need a mask!

I'm not done pal, go ahead and stress yourself!
It amuses me, messing with your mental health
To ruin your time alive, that's been my obsession
I work wonders when I team up with depression
Even if your physical health is purified
We've already pushed a few to suicide!
You won't forget me, that's so unlikely
But I'll tell you my name either way; COVID-19

[Hook]

[Outro - Boris Johnson]

"The time has now come for us all to do more. From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction: you must stay at home. You should not be meeting friends; if your friends ask you to meet, you should say no. You should not be meeting family members, who do not live in your home, you should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine, and you should do this as little as you can."
