The Lyrics

Well, doctors everywhere, they spread
The Terror every day about the virus,
That it’s come to kill us all.

For your protection, now the rules must change,
We’re sure you’ll understand,
You don’t have human rights,
Not any more.

And we all just applauded them as they destroyed our lives,
They took away our dignity,
Right there before our eyes,
They said you couldn’t be with him when your poor father died,
God help us,
All for Covid-19.

In Melbourne, and in London, in New York and Helsinki,
We’ve been in and out of lockdowns now for months,
We didn’t leave our homes, and we
Did as we were told,
As our businesses and jobs turned into dust.

And can you tell me doctor why you’re always on TV?
I thought your job was help the sick,
Not run the whole country?
And how much are they paying you to stop me being free?
To save me,
From the Covid-19?
A big police operation, when
The riot squad are restless there is violence,
It’s a war with mums and dads.
But you will not take it any more,
And you want back your freedom,
Not be silenced.
Now you’re getting very mad.

A big police operation, when
The riot squad are restless there is violence,
It’s a war with mums and dads.
But you won’t take it any more,
And you want back your freedom,
Not be silenced.
Now you’re getting very mad.

Then someone yelled out “Coppers!”
They’re the cowards dressed in blue,
And dozens were arrested,
People just like me and you.
The police are drunk on power now, and this has got to end,
Who’ll keep us safe from them?

And I can still see Frankie
Drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel,
And standing at the bar without a mask,
But those time are gone and I’m afraid
That they will not return,
The days of having fun are in the past.

And stupid politicians didn’t say
What they would do,
They kept us locked up from the world,
In their pathetic zoos,
Well now I’ve really had enough,
And maybe you have too?
Of Covid.
Of Covid-19!

And can you tell me doctor,
Why the army’s on my street,
And why the Police Helicopter chills me to my feet?
And what’s this new restriction now,?
Can you tell me what it means?
For Covid,
For the Covid 19.

From Covid,
From Covid-19.
