the virus - dougald hendrick lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a virus round the world
it’s been here in australia for some time
no, it’s not the one you’re thinking of
this one doesn’t come from bats or swine

[verse 2]
it’s every bit as deadly as the plague
it makes ebola look like just the flu
this one seems to work on hearts and minds
and it’s k!lling off the world we all once knew

[verse 3]
it’s got a lot of names you might have heard
and it seems to work in many different ways
it’s really not that hard to understand
if you just look back in time, to simpler days

[verse 4]
we didn’t need three jobs to pay the bills
lived within our means, but we got by
we found a way to build a better life
and it’s bl**dy sad to watch it slowly die

[chorus]
somewhere on the way to where we are
the trust we blindly give was badly used
businessmen and politics and big brown paper bags
highest bids will get the rights to choose
the highest bids, they get the right to choose
[verse 5]
sea girt lands and golden soil, our very legacy
given in a gesture to appease
and all the beauty rich and rare, the common folk once owned
up for grabs by b*st*rds overseas

[verse 6]
it’s like working all your life, but at the end
some b*st*rd comes and takes it all away
the stuff you meant to leave your kids is off to foreign shores
laughting at us, while they steal your pay

[verse 7]
i suppose i better give this thing a name
apathy and greed go fairly close
morality, or lack of it is also on the list
with selfish and entitled past the post

[verse 8]
excuses though will always be around
most will say i’m trying to make a buck
but actions speak much louder, and anyone can see
the truth is that they just don’t give a f*ck

[chorus]
somewhere on the way to where we are
the trust we blindly give was badly used
businessmen and politics and big brown paper bags
highest bids will get the rights to choose
highest bids, they get the right to choose
[outro]
the time has come
for all of us
to choose
to stand and fight
or just lay down
and lose…
