I Just Can't Be Happy Today (Virus Version)

(Based on/ influenced by the lyrics of the famous 1979 track by The Damned)

They’re closing the schools

They’re storing the books

The church is empty

The priests are in isolation

The radios telling us to stay home

The telly’s on all the time,

Telling us what to do

The army’s coming onto the streets

The devil is in the air and on the surfaces,

Its on the breath of every stranger we meet,

Po-ten-tially,

And even neighbours and friends, or even relatives,

Might be the ones who just might give you the kiss of death,

without meaning to of course.

I Just Can’t Be Happy Today 

(This is a reminder of part of the original 1979 track by The Damned)

They’re closing the schools

They’re burning the books

The church is in ruins

The priests hang on hooks

The radios on ice

The telly’s been banned

The army’s in power

The devil commands
