[Intro - Boris Johnson]

"Good evening. The Coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades, and this country is not alone. All over the world, we're seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer. Without a huge, national effort, to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope, because there won't be enough ventilators, enough intensive care bеds, enough doctors and nurses. If too many peoplе become seriously unwell, in one time, the NHS will be unable to handle it, meaning more people are likely to die, not just from Coronavirus, but from other illnesses as well."


[Verse 1]

I don't know how I got here

All I know is everywhere I go, I spread fear

Started with your grandparents just for practise

No other modern pandemic can go and match this

So you can stand back and witness

With a mask on your face like you're Stanley Ipkiss

As I destroy your economy and your way of life

I'm always here, no matter the time of day or night!

I'm a big killer, on a global genocide

Foolish mortals think I'm made to be weaponized

Whatever the case, it's possible I might be

The main reason why you hate the Chinese

Some say I'm an accident, with some complications

Others say I'm made to control populations

Governments constantly bend to my whims

Hands, face, space doesn't mean a damn thing!


[Hook]

Yeah, you know I'm there

I infect without a care

You better stay inside

If you wanna survive

Maybe now it's clear

Already ruined your year

Taking lives is such a game

You already know my name


[Verse 2]

And it's only a matter of time

'Till I get you and your health declines!

I find it humorous that under my tyranny

You mortals snap at the 5G conspiracies

So you burn towers down with no conscious

Getting everybody worked up over nonsense!

I know what you look like, better hope you last

Long enough 'till the point you don't need a mask!

I'm not done pal, go ahead and stress yourself!

It amuses me, messing with your mental health

To ruin your time alive, that's been my obsession

I work wonders when I team up with depression

Even if your physical health is purified

We've already pushed a few to suicide!

You won't forget me, that's so unlikely

But I'll tell you my name either way; COVID-19


[Hook]


[Outro - Boris Johnson]

"The time has now come for us all to do more. From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction: you must stay at home. You should not be meeting friends; if your friends ask you to meet, you should say no. You should not be meeting family members, who do not live in your home, you should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine, and you should do this as little as you can."
