It's like a virus, and it's coming to get you my friend

No one is immune or fit to defend

The poison in our veins that spreads as we play pretend

It's coming to get ya!

It's like the rising tides of polluted seas

It's like the credit card with the hidden fees

It's like the man that sleeps on the street tonight and when he asks us for change we avoid his eyes

It's like the cost of sending out our troops to war

Could be the, money spent on helping out the poor

It's like the pensioner inside her council home who can't pay for her heating and dies in her sleep alone

And I've seen, no vaccine, only the writing on the wall

White Blood cells inside our system don't work at all

And I've seen, no vaccine, only the writing on the wall

The writing on the wall

It's like a virus, and it's coming to get you my friend

No one is immune or fit to defend

The poison in our veins that spreads as we play pretend

It's coming to get ya!

It's like the nurse that's working a twelve hour day

It's like the thirty-five grand for a bottle of champagne

It's the multinationals avoiding their taxes while they're raising VAT for bailing out all the banks

It's like the kid that's smashing up the Cash Converter

The bonus for the bosses of the corporate merger

The way we call a quarantine for everyone else and never even realise we had the virus ourselves

And I've seen, no vaccine, only the writing on the wall

White Blood cells inside our system don't work at all

And I've seen, no vaccine, only the writing on the wall

The writing on the wall

It's like a virus, and it's coming to get you my friend

No one is immune or fit to defend

The poison in our veins that spreads as we play pretend

It's coming to get ya!

It's coming to get you my friend. It's like a Virus
