lirik lagu a little piece of rosco vidal – john greenwood & emma bartsch

[intro: john greenwood]
never in my wildest dreams
did i imagine such a thing
when i arrived unheralded
the death and chaos i could bring
encouraged by your unpreparedness
and governments that can’t have cared less
you give me opportunity
to travel with impunity
embrace close*knit community
pin hopes on herd immunity
so i stop your meetings, halt your praise
disrupt your lives in many ways
no weddings, parties, concerts, plays;
say goodbye to holidays
your leaders abuse autonomy
you’re sacrificed for the economy
trump endorses wild prescriptions
boris’ chums ignore restrictions
scomo sidelined, feeling minor
tries to start a war with china!
so you hide behind your own front door
because you’re old, or your health is poor
vaccines have arrived too late
this trojan horse is inside the gate
[verse 1: emma bartsch]
for seven years i’ve worked on wards
(now people clap me in the street)
it’s a shame my kids can’t eat applause
(i still can’t seem to make ends meet)
but i noticed on the bus today
you upped and moved further away
seems not all appreciate…
my sacrifice

[verse 2: john greenwood]
in residential care i will see out what remains
of a life spent nursing citizens with various complaints
now surrounded by the vulnerable, the old and the infirm
i can only hope that no*one on the staff brings in the germ
its plain to me the government intends to wait and see
more money for the hospitals without the likes of me
a burden now i’m old so i will be…
a sacrifice

[instrumental]

[verse 3: john greenwood]
the scientists have got it wrong
(i’ve had it and it’s not that bad)
you won’t be ill for very long
(stay at home? you must be mad!)
a social distance is all we ask
go to work, just wear a mask
don’t dramatise, or roll your eyes…
and above all sanitise!
[verse 4: john greenwood]
the coughing has abated from old peter in room 9
but doris has a fever in the room right next to mine
the nurse on nights turns out moonlights in a hotel in the square
and i’ve been told that travellers have been quarantining there
if i drink disinfectant whilst standing in bright light
it has been suggested that it might turn out alright
another bl**dy idiot with another bl**dy lie!
i wonder if they’ll test me
when i come to make… my sacrifice?

[instrumental]

[verse 5: emma bartsch]
the icu is full again
(with different patients every day)
it seems that everywhere’s the same
(cancer care goes by the way)
the vaccine might have just occurred
too late for the weaklings in the herd
i bet the businessmen preferred…
to make no sacrifice?

[outro]
