If you live in a council flat
And you’re poor and all of that
With loads of others, same air breathe
Soon for you they will grieve
It’s a poor man killer

Then you won’t have much hope
To escape the gallows rope
Your funeral suit is bespoke
Corona’s got you by the throat
It’s a poor man killer

You got no hope to isolate
That is a rich man’s fate
If you’re poor and you’re old
To coronavirus you’ve been sold
Poor man killer

If you’re poor, poor and old
They’ll put you on hold
But when you’re corona sold
You’re corona sold
Poor man killer

Got no hope, here’s a rope
Funeral suit is bespoke
Got a good chance to croak
Being lucky, only hope
It’s a poor man killer

And if you’re on a poor estate
You don’t get a lucky break
And you’re in a family
The same air you breathe
Poor man killer

If you’re poor, got no chance
It’s a death dance
See the covid-19 prance
Watch that plague advance
Poor man killer
