about

The title says it all.

lyrics

It came to us from Wuhan, by air, by land and sea
Old folks choking, as sick as they could be
It drove right through Italy and laid waste to Spain
The hospitals were overrun, and China was to blame
The lockdown blues, it’s all bad news
There’s lots of angry folk on a very short fuse

When it came to Britain, put Bojo in a spin
Waited far too long to put the lockdown in
140,000 dead seems a heavy price to pay
For stupid indecision, dither and delay
The lockdown blues live or die, you know you just can’t choose
Lots of stupid people that you can’t excuse

Some stupid folks are saying - it’s a hoax, it don’t exist
I ain’t bothered if they catch it, those covidiots will not be missed
Now a new mutation’s sweeping across the nation
All that we are hoping for is a speedy vaccination

Gotta stay at home can’t see your friends
Nobody knows when the lockdown ends
They’re making up policy on the hoof
Perspex sales gone through the roof
The lockdown blues, bad for the many but not the few
Greedy cronies smeared with Tory glue

Trump & Bolsanaro pretend it was a cold
But that’s another lie their folks were being told
Conspiracies festered all around the world
All those creepy people with their flags unfurled
The lockdown blues, with covidiot’s views
They should spend a week in a nurse’s shoes
The lockdown blues, live or die, you just can’t choose
Lots of angry folk on a very short fuse
