Let 'Em Grow
Liner notes
There were several COVID-era parodies. I don't think I felt up to writing 'proper' songs at the time.Don't get stressed by Javid's positive test
There's no reason for alarm
I'm in self-isolation
Though they had to twist my arm
The pubs are finally open
As we're starting the third wave
Now we can blame the spread
On how they all behave
Forget the masks, forget the tiers
Play the fool you've played for all these years
Forget the rules, forget furlough
Let Freedom flow!
Let 'em grow! Let 'em grow! The case rate and death toll
Let 'em grow! Let 'em grow! Let 'em go out of control
I don't care, cause it's freedom day
Let the bodies pile high
The polls never clobber me anyway
It's funny how resistance
Gets swept aside so fast
The usual rules and standards
Belong firmly in the past
It's time to see what I can do
Push past the limits and break through
I'm right, you're wrong, no rules for me
I'm free!
Let 'em grow! Let 'em grow! Scandal, scams and sleaze
Let' em grow! Let 'em grow! Corruption, grift and greed
Understand what I'm trying to say...
My power channels all the money to my chums
My soul's been sold, it's bringing them substantial sums
And as I'm putting the whole country to the sword
It won't be long until I'm reaping my reward
Let 'em grow! Let 'em grow! Tory donors' bank accounts
Let 'em grow! Let 'em grow! By staggering amounts
Understand what I'm trying to say
You can't touch me
The polls never clobber me anyway.
