Lab Leak

Everything's good until it goes bad
Wise man lives a long way from the lab
All aboard the plague train
To the gain-a-function junction
But watch where you're steppin'
They got all kinds of bio-weapons
Beggin' to get loose and cause a disruption

Way out on little Plum Island
Out in the Atlantic Ocean
They were studying disease
Stuffing ticks and fleas
Full of diabolical potions

Experimenting, making germs
Stirring up a pot of plague chowder
See, in this form of study, the tick bites the bunny
Then you dry the blood and mill it into a powder

Playing Willy Wonka with disease
Is bound to backfire in time
And wouldn't you know
Strange symptoms started to show
Just across the water in a town called Lyme

Everything's good until it goes bad
Wise man lives a long way from the lab

Now a half a million people a year
Get this strange disease called Lyme
Chronic fatigue, it makes you weak in the knees
More people getting it all the time

And the rent's always due on your government flu
And the rent is gettin' high
Lyme won't kill ya, but the folks'll tell ya
You'd just as soon wish you would die

Make a problem, fix a problem
Go and get an award
That's U.S. medicine, the biggest threat is in
Telling the truth, and buddy that's for sure

Everything's good until it goes bad
Wise man lives a long way from the lab

All aboard the plague train
To the gain of function junction
But watch where you're steppin'
They got all kinds of bio-weapons
Beggin' to get loose and cause a disruption
