Well it’s a nasty disease
Will put you in nasty straits
Seems nothing can release
Us from a wretched fate
It’s really bad and can’t be cured by docs

It’s a twenty-first century pox
Twenty-first century pox
So fear, it’s here
It’s reappeared, more shocks
It’s a twenty-first century pox, oh no!

So do not be fooled
It ain’t goin’ anyplace
By it we’ll be ruled
It marches on apace
That pacing climbs, there will be no slow walks

It is a twenty-first century pox
It’s a twenty-first century pox
Got the world f**ked up
On it can’t put a lock

Freak’s a twenty-first century pox, oh no!
Twenty-first century pox, uh-oh!
Twenty-first century pox
He’s a twenty-first century pox
