So here I am, sat amidst this piggy pandemic,
with the news readers telling us our bodies are pathetic;
Nobody’s immune to this deadly strain of virus,
it keeps the people scared and effectively requires us

To spend more time alone and keep stocked up on medication;
Tamiflu is powerful – at market penetration;
It’s that name you turn to when you need to treat flu,
Cuz it’s sold around the world and it’s target market’s you.

While I might sound like I’m being unreasonable,
Think of all the finance that could become feasible,
If part of your business was a Tamiflu merchant,
Just as a “lethal” strain had turned emergent;

I wouldn’t fuck about, I’d get straight down to thinking,
I wanna make some cash but our economy is sinking,
So I’ll raise the markup on the flu drug that I’m whoring,
Demand is forcing market clearing price to keep on soaring,

Every time you sneeze or cough, a vapour is expelled,
In which you’ll find a multitude of germs being propelled
So catch it, bin it, kill it, don’t give them the satisfaction
Of profiting from illness that is acting as distraction

From all the flak the government has taken as of late;
The expenses scandal hasn’t surfaced on the TV since the date,
That the W.H.O. (yeah, who?) told us all,
We’re expecting a pandemic; human race is set to fall;

So rush out to the shops but be sure that you don’t breathe,
It’s probably much worse than we have led you to believe,
Make sure you buy that medicine, even just in case;
It might even kill you! Nah, we’re lying to your face.

The only people dying are the elderly and weak,
Don’t think that influenza’s going on a killing streak,
It’s only going to effect a third of us at peak;
Don’t believe the media, it’s truth that you should seek.
