Melody: Can’t Buy Me Love
Can’t buy your health!
Money can’t buy your health!
Can’t buy your health!
Money can’t buy your health.
Trump’s sending you back to work, shut in.
To boost the GDP.
He’ll provide your gloves and masks, shut in.
But they’re no guarantee.
‘Cause he don’t care too much for your health.
Money can’t buy your health.
He’ll stop your unemployment checks
If you won’t return.
You’ll have to make a choice, shut in.
Do you want to live or earn?
He only wants to win elections,
But money can’t buy your health.
Can’t buy your health!
Fouci tells you so.
Can’t buy your health!
No, no, no, no.
You won’t need a ventilator
If you stay inside.
You’d prefer to wait at home
For the virus to subside.
You don’t care too much for money.
Money can’t buy your health.
