We must have scientific proof
to tell us what to do
we need conclusive evidence
to give each day to you.
We work from models, all the time
by universities computed,
to tell us what the future holds
as researches keep us tutored.
But now and then, you know
we second guess the data,
producing plans to suit ourselves
and deal with problems later.
We can’t have everything on hold,
it’s getting too expensive.
we must let people out again
and get the country active.
Let’s open schools and shops,
tell people to be wary,
hoping the virus will go away-
the prospects not too scary.
And, as scientists come and go
their arguments not required,
we listen now to friend’s advice,
those that we have hired …
When science bows to politics
you really change the game,
it’s fear that keep us going,
we don’t want to get the blame.
As the death toll rises still
the economy in tatters,
It’s No.10’s model that we use,
the only one that matters.
