When This Lousy War Is Over

| FINIRÀ ’STA SPORCA GUERRA Finirà ’sta sporca guerra, la divisa spoglierò, e vestito da borghese, oh, felice io sarò! Basta celle di rigore scarpe rotte e devi andar… Il sergente, con amore, io potrò perfin baciar… | WHEN THIS PANDEMIC IS OVER When this pandemic is over No more nursing care for me The Government has lied and failed to Order stocks of PPE No more carers in the care homes No more nurses left to leave I can’t kiss my friends and family How I’ll miss them, how we’ll grieve. When this pandemic is over Oh how happy they will be They will tell us they’re the heroes Try to make us all believe That under-funding and bad planning Is not to do with all the deaths Blame will fall upon the poor folk We killed each other with our breath. When will everyone get angry? Call our leaders to account? Do you think their clapping obscene As we watch the death toll mount? No-one witnessing their passing No-one standing round the grave Forty thousand’s just a number Many of whom we should have saved. When this pandemic is over No more Tory lies for me Fully funded jobs and services Oh how happy we shall be. |
