What happened to the UK at the hands of our Prime Minister during the start of the Pandemic deserves comment. This is mine

lyrics

Shame On You (Boris)

You walked us into chaos without a plan inside your head,
12 weeks down the line we stand here
Facing 60000 dead
As you watch that number rise 300 by the day
Your arrogance assumes that we will back you all the way

Those who stand at your right hand they must take us for fools
While we try and we just get by they’re living large
Beyond the rules
The old, the weak, our children are the ones who pay the price
The ones who need most care you seem prepared to sacrifice.

Shame on you for what you stand for
Shame on you for what you’ve done
Shame on you for those who suffer
Shame on you for those who’ve gone
Shame on you you’ve let this country fall so far
Shame on you and shame on those who put you where you are.


You are pictured on your doorstep with your token of applause,
For those that gave their time their lives,
Those in blue that rescued yours,
60 seconds clapping once a week you give for free
Then turn deaf ears towards their cries for decent salary

Shame on you for what you stand for
Shame on you for what you’ve done
Shame on you for those who suffer
Shame on you for those who’ve gone
Shame on you you’ve let this country fall so far
Shame on you and shame on those who put you where you are.

Across the continent we’re viewed with pity and contempt.
For the isolation policies
Driven by your government
You claim we’re at the forefront but that clearly isn’t true
So put away your slides and tables and accept the shame on you.

Shame on you for what you stand for
Shame on you for what you’ve done
Shame on you for those who suffer
Shame on you for those who’ve gone
Shame on you you’ve let this country fall so far
Shame on you and shame on those who put you where you are.
