When the news comes on and nothing has changed
And the men in suits stand in the spotlights
And the people wish for a miracle
And the death toll still continues to rise
Perhaps swearing will help
When the reporters report false promises
And you’re sharing one laptop between 5
And still the workers are denied fair pay
And the men in suits are telling more lies
Perhaps swearing will help
When the doctors are telling you the truth
And PPE shortages are widespread
And the people are left pleading for food
And others still head off and see their mate
Perhaps swearing will help
When it’s come to this and still here we are
And we have heard and seen what is needed
And they maintain the lies with still more lies
And it’s seen that they acted way too late
Perhaps more than just fucking swearing will help
