Boris told me, yes, he told me, Learn to live with it
He also told me, “stay away, you’ll never know what you’ll catch.”
Just the other day I heard we’re going to ease off
Throwing in the towel, don’t muffle that cough

But it’s alright, oh no, it’s not right, it just seems a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, in Plague Island today, ay, ay, ay.

Lift all restrictions and precautions, chuck your masks aside
Meet the new variant, worse than the last variant, open your arms wide
We could be the hottest covid zone in the whole world
We watched it coming home, we saw how it unfurled

But it’s alright, oh no, it’s not right, it just seems a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, in Plague Island today, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to following science? Who needs science, eh?
Science can’t protect our profits, Science – go away!
Evidence and solid proof are just holding us back
Fuck the science, fuck alliance, fuck the fucking facts

But it’s alright, oh no, it’s not right, it just seems a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, in Plague Island today, ay, ay, ay.
