Analysis of Straight from the bat



Straight from the bat in Wuhan taking over killing our fam
Viral army from China
spreading nasty shit like Grindr
swipe left swipe right stealing your last breath in the night

Apocalypse 2020 Real or synthetic ?
labs and scientists making us sick
politically cleansing the population ,
close the borders stop illegal migration

Contagious outrageous take of your body in stages -
Killing off our aged

Boris preaches stay at home
But his medi mans got his whore on the phone
2 meter distance
Single people can’t resist it

Walk in the park
Go for a hike
Every man now owns a bike
Tinder’s gone crazy
All them lonely men wanting a lady

My gosh all them lock down babies
Popping up like spring daisies

Necessary journeys only
Hook ups cos they’re lonely
You know there’s no potential
Babe that trip is non essential

Now furlough is over
Mans daughter & his mrs ,got to feed her
Get in the queue
There’s tamiqua
All desperate for the job seeker

Corona virus
Quick hide us
Miley Siri’s the wrecking ball
Evacuate the kids from school

Panic buying
You wanted that bread & pasta?
Man you best move faster
The 2 ply botty roll?
No chance they’ve gone crazy lost all control
People stocking up puppies on a roll

Cabin fever pass me the wine & tequila
AA? Na I’m a non believer

Pilling on the stones and pounds
Prosecco crisps and dressing gowns
Leave my pizza at the door
I’m paralytic passed out on the floor
