Don’t mind

boozing in illicit bars

We’ll find

a rave and drive there in our cars

Cos this whole quarantine

Just applies to has-beens

But it’s not for us teens

Cos the kids are alright.

 

Don’t mind

meeting up with other guys

I’m fine

if later some old gimmer dies

From the plague that I spread

Just one more old git dead

I’m OK, cos it’s said

That the kids are alright.

 

Sometimes

I like to break this boring gloom

Then I

will sneak out from my college room

But I’ll carry the scar

That I've bid au revoir

To my nan and grandpa

But the kids are alright.

 

I signed

the warrant for their Covid deaths

Drank wine

with friends while they gasped for their breath

No-one gave me a clue

That they’d die from this flu

Alone in ICU

But the kids are alright.
