lyrics

They drank wine while your nan died alone
Wine and beer flowed while she waited by the phone
Covid-19 suffocated her life
She died alone in the cold of the night
Tories partied till the early dawn
And by then she was already gone
Empty platitudes to stay inside
The conservatives continued to lie

Tongues of snakes, mouths of rats
Barks of dogs and buzz of gnats
Flowing wine and din of swine
Laughter echoed as they dined
Lands of grey, darkened days
Cities black and rusting tracks
Quiet nights and pale twilight
Liars thrive away from sight

They drank wine while your nan died alone
Just a work meeting Boris said on the phone
A nation dying from the coronavirus
Sick to death with the blue looking sus
Family and friends die one by one
While our "leaders" laugh and have fun
I tell you now how this all ends
Cause there's only so far the laws can bend

Tongues of snakes, mouths of rats
Barks of dogs and buzz of gnats
Flowing wine and din of swine
Laughter echoed as they dined
Lands of grey, darkened days
Cities black and rusting tracks
Quiet nights and pale twilight
Liars thrive away from sight
