Virus
Sonic Boom Six Lyrics

It's like a virus, and it's coming to get you my friend.
The problems we face as a society are like a virus, and they will affect everyone, no matter how wealthy or privileged.

No one is immune or fit to defend
No one is exempt from these problems, and we are not prepared to deal with them.

The poison in our veins that spreads as we play pretend.
Our societal issues are like a deadly poison that affects everyone, even if we try to ignore them or deny their existence.

It's like the rising tides of polluted seas.
Societal issues are like the pollution that affects our natural environment, growing and spreading like a disease.

It's like the credit card with the hidden fees.
Just as hidden fees can add up to significant debt on a credit card, so too can hidden societal issues accumulate into major problems for everyone.

It's like the man that sleeps on the street tonight and when he asks us for change we avoid his eyes.
We often choose to ignore the plight of the homeless and marginalized, just as we might avoid making eye contact when someone asks for money.

It's like the cost of sending out our troops to war.
We often prioritize military spending over addressing societal issues, even though the latter may lead to more peaceful and prosperous outcomes.

Could be the, money spent on helping out the poor.
Investing in addressing societal issues and helping those in need could lead to greater overall wellbeing for everyone.

It's like the pensioner inside her council home who can't pay for her heating and dies in her sleep alone.
Our societal problems can have tragic consequences for vulnerable groups, such as the elderly who cannot afford basic necessities and may die as a result.

And I've seen, no vaccine, only the writing on the wall.
We often ignore the warning signs of societal issues, failing to take proactive action to address them before they become more severe.

White Blood cells inside our system don't work at all.
Our societal mechanisms for addressing problems are ineffective, leaving us vulnerable to crises that could have been avoided.

It's like the nurse that's working a twelve hour day.
Our societal problems can also impact those on the front lines, such as healthcare workers who are overworked and underpaid, despite providing essential services.

It's like the thirty-five grand for a bottle of champagne.
The wealthy often prioritize extravagance over addressing societal issues, creating greater societal inequalities.

It's the multinationals avoiding their taxes while they're raising VAT for bailing out all the banks.
Corporate interests often undermine efforts to address societal issues, prioritizing profit over the well-being of the population as a whole.

It's like the kid that's smashing up the Cash Converter.
Societal problems can also manifest in destructive behavior, such as vandalism, as people express their frustration and discontent.

The bonus for the bosses of the corporate merger.
The wealthy often benefit from societal issues, receiving bonuses for actions that contribute to the problem rather than working to solve it.

The way we call a quarantine for everyone else and never even realise we had the virus ourselves.
We often fail to recognize our own role in contributing to societal issues, instead blaming others and calling for quarantines that do not address the root cause of the problem.

It's coming to get you my friend.
Ignoring societal issues will not make them go away, and we will all eventually be affected by their consequences.

It's coming to get ya!
The problems we face as a society will not go away on their own, and we must take proactive action to address them before it's too late.
