Strangely Shaped by Fathers - Profitganda (The New Variant)

I've been told to go to work and that it's not a threat
By the propaganda spewed by business and government
We must do our jobs but not ask the reasons why
To keep our masters rich so many might have to die?
Essential work must still be done
So society can run
Inessential work, meanwhile
Exposes exploitation's smile
We were told two metres
Then just one inside a shop
Consume just as you did before
Until you start to cough...

Think twice about the information you're fed
Whose interests is it in?
It's profits over people in the modern age
Do you think they care if you die?
It's their money they want - not you - the money not you

Are we being told the full story?
What's being kept out and what's being put in?
The state controls the information and they want you back at work
If you believe everything you read you're likely to get hurt
We'll just tell them it's safe now
But we can't quite explain how
Take your masks off to eat out,
But it's not you who it helps out
We were told to stay at home
But not how we'd pay the bills
Forced the poor out into harm's way
So their friends' pockets could be filled

Refused to learn from the past
Put us at risk to do pointless tasks
Eased the lockdown too fast
Encouraged not wearing masks
But... when you read more than press briefings say
And listen to scientists
The evidence just overwhelms
How badly our government fucked this

Think twice about the information you're fed
Whose interests is it in?
It's profits over people in the modern age
Do you think they care if you die?
It's their money they want - not you - the money not you

I won't die to increase your wealth
