The cost of Covid

Do not question    
here, take the bribe  
don’t ask where it came from    
sit back enjoy the ride  
   
We’ll blame it on Russia    
or those who voted to leave    
if the media says so  
they decide what you believe    
   
Inflation weaponised    
food too expensive to eat    
we’ll turn off the gas  
if you won’t accept your defeat  
   
There’s jobs if you want them  
to pay for a life with no choice    
don’t share your opinions    
you no longer have a voice    
   
It’s much worse in China    
see, we’re not that bad    
as we split and divide ya  
but please don’t be sad    
   
No point in looking    
what on earth could you do  
truth overrated    
be the many not the few    
   
It is what it is  
deep down you all know    
logic dictates    
you reap what you sow  
   
Silence complicit    
your life in our hands  
freedom illicit  
now you know where you stand
