Herd Immunity
We’ve come up with a wondrous wheeze called Herd Immunity
We’ll fight the virus by infection of the whole community!
We’ll save the lives of our electors
And even some of our defectors
We can rig democracy with great impunity
Some of the wets will not accept their plight through all this pain
They will never understand what our side stands to gain
True followers will be united
Eugenicists will be delighted
At times of total chaos, let the people take the strain!
We can get the monarchy to make a special speech
Only they can reach the parts that ministers can’t reach
They’ll say we’re all birds of one feather
That we’ll suffer, all, together
Then we’ll find men of the cloth who’re happy thus to preach
All we need to make this work is someone we can blame
We can find some scientists to prove we’ve played the game
They will be just sycophants
And scapegoats can be immigrants
After all is said and done our faithful know no shame
You might feel that this approach is really not too wise
Remember, if it all goes wrong, we’ll have a good disguise
We will wear protective masks
And pretend we were doing vital tasks
In any case, the populace seems happy with our lies!
For those concerned, if truth were known, that the economy might tank
Make sure you’ve placed your savings in some far-off, offshore bank
Millions may lose their living
Just let others do the giving
When it comes to cast your vote, you’ll know who’s best to thank
Now’s the time to draw this song to its reluctant end
Ambition cares not what we do nor if we have no friend
As long as we can stay in power
For an extra month, or day or hour
We will fight with all our might to keep our careers on trend
