The Walking Dead

You better run n hide,

You better run n hide,

Here come the walking dead,

I am one of the walking dead.

You better stay inside,

Run n hide.

I don't need to wear a poxy mask,

I don't want to wear a poxy mask.

Not that anyone bothers to ask.

But 10+ diff exemptions, give me a legal pass.

U see em in the corridors, watch the fear in their eyes.

An unmasked patient, is making their heart beats rise.

They step to the left, so I step to the right.

You better stay 2 metres away, or u'll get a fright.

Here come the walking dead,

I am one of the walking dead,

No mask is on, so you better fuck off n hide.

Find any room, a toilet to lock n hide.

2 metres ain't enuff love,

2 miles is far too wide.

Here come the unmasked evil ones,

Masks always offered n instantly denied,

I don't want to wear a poxy mask,

I don't need a chin wipe mask,

It's my legal right 4 u 2 get scared n hide.

U think ur going to get COVID, from me walking past?

Or is it more likely, from touching coffee mugs, or holding a dirty glass?

I don't give a flying toss, if ur scared wen I pass,

I get a COVID test every other day, n it ain't exactly a laff.

So watch the walking dead, as they dare wander unmasked.

N then wonder what exemptions, let them bare teeth n laugh.

I'm a paranoid schizo, with anxiety n not just riff raff.

But I'll let ur Sun read mind wander, n freak at the thought of ur task.

Here comes the walking dead, and he ain't wearing a mask.

How the hell am I safely, going to make it past?

Well maybe I wont sneeze on ur face, n luckily u'll last.

Then maybe u can give me a smile, under ur cloth, as we pass.

I've chased doctors, who've scampered in 2 nearest open doors.

N made lift occupants, exit on their wrong floor..

All coz of an unmasked patient, they just can't ignore.

So the more u all scamper, the more I scare some more.

Sorry but I'm past the point, of being a hypocrite.

N 2 b honest, it cracks me up more than a little bit.

To watch the unbreathable pant, as if they are all unfit.

But then I'm the walking dead, and I don't give 2 flyin shits.
