They said it’s an emergency
You cannot comprehend
The magnitude, the urgency
The world’s about to end
We must do what these experts say
If we are to avoid
Extinction and oblivion
Act now or be destroyed
The end is nigh, this fact must be addressed
Nevertheless
Maybe climate change is just a hoax
A racket to exploit well-meaning folk
To get subsidies, grants
And aid advanced
They say there’s no solution
Really the goal
Is social control
And to sell absolution
Maybe climate change is just a hoax
They said it’s a coronavirus
Called Covid-19
A deadly global pandemic
Without a known vaccine.
Dramatic action is required
No matter what the cost
For millions could lose their lives
And trillions be lost
Another Spanish flu, a plague in all but name
All the same
Maybe the fear is worse than the disease
Do we really need to bring the world to its knees
Death does not await mortality rates are less than 3 in a hundred
Far greater harm comes from the alarm and from all the blunder
Life must go on, just let it, if you please.
They said it was a marvel that it never can do wrong
Were’t not for its existence we would all dead and gone.
Our greatest institution it stands proud and it stands tall
Healthcare of good quality’s available to all
The envy of the world is what they say
Be that as it may
Maybe the NHS is overhyped
I know that’s a view that some won’t like
But are government plans
And bureaucrat hands
The best supply of good healthcare?
There are other means
To help those in need
If only we could looks elsewhere
It’s an administrative mire
Overworked and tired
The staff are inundated
But mention a thing
About shortcomings
You’re excommunicated
There are bungles galore
Health outcomes are poor
What about all the waiting
At A&E
Or to see a GP
Or if you need operating
So many deaths
From abuse or neglect
That’s murder or manslaughter
Nevertheless
Those on those on the left
Still worship at its altar
Maybe the NHS is overhyped
