Safe and effective
is the phrase that they used
While the authority of the state
Was clearly abused

Safe and effective
Was the statement they made
While they secretly rolled out
The great body invade

You’ll travel, you’ll dine
The best concerts you’ll see
Just follow the science
And don’t dare disagree

The hero you’ll be
The loved ones you’ll save
By exchanging your hugs for
A far away wave

Cover your face
And submit to the master
And with the help of the koolaid
We’ll get over this faster

Safe and effective
Is the word of the day
While taking your
Bodily autonomy away

Safe and effective
Is the name of the game
Just get used to the fact that
All will be changed

Safe and effective
Let’s get this thing finished
Just ignore the fact that
The population has diminished

The choice is yours
Don’t call it coercion!
We’ll keep you distracted with our
Wars and perversion

Compliance is key
Just do what you’re told
Never mind the fact that
You’ll never grow old

We’ll keep you dumbed down
We’ll make you grow weary
And maybe you’ll stop listening
to the conspiracy theories

Your connections will grow
With the use of your phone
But get used to confinement
To a particular zone

Safe and effective
The narrative shall stay
Was compliance worth it
At the end of the day?
