Tier Dancing

A monumental fuck up
Is how it could be perceived
At least 90,000 people dead
That leaves a lot bereaved


Our death rate is world leading
Above the peak pre May
Our world beating system
Still keeping safety at bay

We've danced with several Tiers
Each one with side effects
No one knows if each measure
Damages or protects

Johnson finally grew a pair
Once Carrie let them go
He fucked off Dominic Cummings
That made it two in a row


It was of course 6 months too late
The damage irreparably done
He clung on to that cunt too long
Any goodwill forever undone

November saw a vaccine
"Woo Hoo" we all did cry
Developed by the Europeans
It could help less of us die

As ever we took the credit
When in fact we jumped a queue
But in the eyes of Johnson and Co
We're ace, it's ours, it's new


Williamson was on the telly
"It's best to come first" - he cried
That may be true in la la land
But leaves Joanne unsatisfied

Rees Mogg went one better
And fronted a complete lie
He claimed fucking off Europe
Was the key for less of us to die


He has now gone full Wankpiece
While fishing goes to the wall
He somehow knows 'our' fish so well
They're the happiest of all

I should perhaps give them credit
It's fair to say they've some front
They'll publicly look into a camera
And prove that they're each a cunt


Pfizer offered an end in sight
The shops opened all day
We packed out Regent St and Nottingham
Got fleeced of our furlough pay

We travelled to London to shop
Or 100 miles for a pint
Tier hopped for our Instagram
After all Tier 3 was shite 

Why be bound by rules
You probably haven't got COVID
If your significant other is positive
Just carry on, you don't give a shit

You will find enough info out there
If you ignore the dubiousness of the source
You can justify your actions
To keep your life on course

It's OK for Rita Ora
To collect an Egyptian bundle
And then throw a fucking party
Her apologies and cash make her humble


Its easy to look at the confusion
And the chaos that we have caused
We're all born of frustration
Our sanctity outsourced

It took a while for reality
To jump up and bite Johnson's ass
But finally it woke up a brain cell
And he was forced to close Christmas

Of course the damage was done
Embedded in our lives
The country braced for the certainty
That deaths were going to rise


America has been watching
It likes to be the best
"Hold my pint" it cried "I'll get my gun"
As Trump failed another test

This time he's encouraged
Far right loons with Racist flags
To storm the Capitol Buildings
6 deaths sit firmly in his lap


He will go down in history
That much is guaranteed
His legacy will not look good
Death, impeachment, greed

We're not in a position to judge
Considering the state we're in
Our glass house would not survive
A stoning from within

I digress of course, apologies
It's so easy to do 
When the leader of the free world
Is more fucked up than you


Where are we at now?
I will try and break it down
But always bear in mind
The country is run by a fucking clown

Vaccines are on the way
Zahawi pockets a shit load
Gove says normality beckons
Somewhere down the road

But as it stands today
For many everything is bleak
Another 1564 dead
Its a world beating week

Rashford forced the government
To try and do what's right
Chartwells hit big profits
By loading the parcels light


Outdoor group stuff cancelled
Even though it doesn't spread
The impact on our physical health
Just messes with our heads

We now can't have a coffee
Or a walk with a mate
No chance whatsoever 
Of any action on a date

Of course none of the above applies
To the rich and ruling few
For them it's a game of cash and power
No matter the hurt caused to you


Despite his sanctimonious approach
Holding Ministers feet to the flame
Even Morgan felt the rules allowed him 
To fuck off on a plane

We're nearing a full lockdown
Whether or not we comply
The reality is clear to see
If we don't many more will die

Ignore the COVID conspiracists
Glowing in their bullshit
The likes of Fox's limelight
Dimming bit by bit


You would be quite right of course
To ignore everything on my wall
After all my red swimming badge
Qualifies me for fuck all

But what if the risk is real
And it's tearing through our nation
How will we live with ourselves
If we pass it to a relation

All of us are anxious
Fearful of being the one
Just try your best to be nice
And keep a fucking mask on

It comes down to how we act
No apologies for being blunt
Do the right thing for everyone
Simply put, don't be a cunt
