(Intro) [Verse 1] They said, “Stay home, you'll save a life,” Then opened up the pubs that night. “Keep two metres!”—“Back to work!” Funny how the virus knew when not to lurk. “Wear a mask!”—“It doesn't work!” “Trust the science!”—“Don't be a jerk!” The rules went round, the experts changed, And every contradiction was explained. [Chorus] Getting better all the time, Better all the time! It couldn't get no worse— Then somehow it did! [Verse 2] “Two weeks and it'll all be done,” Two weeks became a year and one. “One jab and you'll be free!” Then came the second, third, and three. My phone knows what I'm thinking now, It knows my breakfast anyhow. I mention curtains—there's an ad: “Coincidence!” Well, isn't that grand? [Chorus] Getting better all the time, Better all the time! It couldn't get no worse— Then somehow it did! [Verse 3] My uncle says, “It's all a plot!” My neighbour says, “They've got the lot!” I ask them both, “What's your proof?” “It's on the internet, you fool!” Maybe there's a master plan, Maybe it's twelve fools in a van. Maybe I'm paranoid—who knows? I'll have some tea and watch it grow. [Bridge] I won't believe each thing I hear, I won't spend my life in fear. If tomorrow brings another scare, I'll check the facts—and breathe some air. [Final Chorus] Getting better all the time, Better all the time! It couldn't get no worse— Oh yes it can! Getting better all the time... Apparently. [Outro] Another crisis? Another cure? Another expert who's completely sure? (Never mind....Put the kettle on.) (Outro)
