British Conservative coronavirus mismanagement, parody song

This 18 April 2020 satirical music video from Britain is about the British Conservative government’s mismanagement of the coronavirus crisis.

It is a parody of the song Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac.

It says about itself:

Fleetwood Matt – Massive Lies

[British Conservative Health Secretary] Matt Hancock‘s Fleetwood Mac tribute band.

LYRICS:

If I could wave a wand
Get drugs from across the pond
Then I would ramp it up
Hydroxy, droxy chloroquine

I’ll just blame the NHS
And promise a squillion tests
Words are meaningless
Blatant, blatant, blatant lies

Telling lies, telling sweet massive lies
(Massive lies, massive massive lies)
Matt Hancock’s mad stary eyes
Mad stary eyes, crazy stary eyes

Although I’m not making plans
I hope that you understand
There’s a reason why
Don’t need to, need to change that bit

There’s plenty of PPE
And care homes are fine, really
We take this seriously
Massive, massive, massive lies

Telling lies, telling sweet massive lies
(Massive lies, massive massive lies)
We’ll ask around, see what we can cadge
Now have a badge
Have a fucking badge
Telling lies, telling sweet massive lies
