Too Many Funerals

from The Covid Tapes by Cosmo

lyrics

I remember stories of refugees
Trapped in the Mediterranean Sea
Bringing their problems, death and disease
Someone on Facebook said so

Politicians said let’s slam the door
Those were the ones I voted for
We don’t want their sort on our shores
Someone on Facebook said so

Too many funerals x 3
Nothing to do with me

That was a few years down the line
Welcome to this promised land of mine
Whingers whinge but it’s all just fine
Someone on Facebook said so

They’re dying at the food bank right near here
But I’m loving those remainer tears
At least we’re not governed by commies and queers
Someone on Facebook said so

Too many funerals x 3
Nothing to do with me

That was before_the_pandemic came
Can’t get tested, who’s to blame?
Nurses unprotected oh the shame
Someone on Facebook said so

How I’d love to vote_with_my feet
But even without_lock-down no retreat
And a_man with a scythe stalking the street
Someone on Facebook said so

Too many funerals x 3
Oh mercy, mercy me
Cos now he’s come for me
