lyrics

It's a dirty job: fighting for life
On the frontlines
While Death himself stands waiting
For his prize
The staff are terrified of bringing the virus home
Or to the next room on the ward
There's no PPE
Death is keeping score

There's a culture war on empathy,
On science and reality,
Through ignorance and fealty comes
Spiraling fatalities
Don't expect apologies
For the denier casualties
God knows, Darwin was right
And I feel sick tonight

Staring down Death
In the name of our lives
Nurse suicides are riding high
23% higher than you and I
Breathless patients' pleading faces
"I don't wanna die."
Staring down Death
In the name of our lives
What good is clapping for the NHS
If the government is giving money to their friends?
Then cuts the funding to the rest by 30bn pounds...

Oh,
You anti-maskers
You lock down betrayers
You anti-vaxxers
All Death's supporting players
On a diet of bullshit from an alt-news site
Empowered by online political spite
Shaking my head and thinking:
Azimov was right

Disconnected from reality
All caught up in the energy
Marching on the Covid ward
Like a brainless zombie hoarde
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
You are the enemy
Of those inside who are

Staring down Death
In the name of our lives
"It's all a hoax. It can't get me."
If you subscribe to this philosophy
Wear a mask, wash your hands and
Stay the fuck away from me
Go

Until it takes you
The respirator counts down the minutes of your life
Your O2 sats are down
They put a tube down
You lie face down
And your last words will be
This can't be happening
It's a hoax
Why me?
