You've Got It Now!

lyrics

You’ve got it now, you’ve got it now, you’ve got it now…

You peddlers of nonsense and mischief and garbage
You’re crying to the experts now
Once you reckoned all you needed was to FEEL right
Evidence could just take a bow
But hey what happened? Reality came
And kicked you right there in your behind
How’s that herd immunity going
Somewhat troubling, don’t you find?

You’ve got it now, you’ve got it now, you’ve got it now…

The hospitals are filling up with bodies
It’s just a little flu, you said
Just like austerity will sort out our problems
We’re the ones counting our dead
But hang on a minute, what’s going on?
Seems you can’t ESCAPE from your crime
Check out NOW who’s self isolating
Your money can’t hide you this time

You’ve got it now, you’ve got it now, you’ve got it now…

Welcome to our world, oh beloved leaders
How’s it feel-to be on our rung?
If you think once again you can paper over cracks
You’re problems have only just begun
Now you need our help and you’re chucking us money
Too little too late, I’m afraid
Yes-we’re mopping up/your/mess once again
‘Cos we’re in it together
Solidarity forever
But now you understand, my friends….

You’ve got it now, you’ve got it now, you’ve got it now
You’ve got it now, you’ve got it now, you’ve got it now…
