about

I finished writing this song on 26 January 2021. It was inspired by a meeting with a singer I had met once before and who seemed to be a quiet person with a reasonable voice. I arranged for her to come over to record me on her mobile phone singing a few songs so she could get an idea of the melodies for a future recording. I also gave her the lyrics. She said she could only be there for around 20 minutes. When she arrived she suddenly became very talkative and barraged me with endless conspiracy theories including that the Royal Family were imposters and had been deposed and the real monarch was residing in New Zealand. She also told me that she was strongly opposed to vaccinations of all kinds. I was glad to see her go and luckily I never saw her again. ‘Anti-Vaxxer’ is sabout people with a similar mindset to climate change denialists as they refute the overwhelming weight of Medical and Climate Science-based facts and evidence advocating personal opinions as facts instead. I felt this song needed to be out there. Bruce Neilsen (aka The Immaculate Crows).

lyrics

You’ve got a degree
In stupidity
You’re too self-obsessed
To really see

Conspiracy theories
Won’t let you know
You’re just a joke
Don’t you know

Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer

How did you ever
Get this dumb
To make your mind
So damn numb

You live in a bubble
That’s going to burst
Your paranoia
Is your curse

Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer

Don’t sprout your bullshit
In my face
When did you leave
The human race

Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer

No one tells you
What to do
You think you’re a witch
But I know you’re a fool

You think you’re so cool
Fake news is true
Everyone’s out to get you
I think we’re through

Anti-vaxxer
Anti-vaxxer
Anti-vaxxer
Anti-vaxxer
