I'm reblogging this, because I have been asking these questions too, just not as well written.

Here Comes The Sadist, by Bernard Fanning, 2013 https://genius.com/Bernard-fanning-here-comes-the-sadist-lyrics

Here comes the sadist on his afternoon stroll
Trying to gather information
Like a holy roller trying to save my soul
From perpetual damnation
Now the Andalusian ladies wave and blink and smile
While Papa goes to work and takes a bit on the side
Just like nothing ever happened
They're all manicured up within an inch of their lives

All this talk about contagion
But the sadist will need saving
When the curtain comes down

Oh the workers march in tandem down the hungry mile
Trying to makes the sadists listen
Given voice to all the problems of the rank and file
But he thinks it's all a fiction
There's reason why some people live their life on their knees
So the money lending jackals can go on as they please
Just like nothing ever happened
Privatise the profits - socialise the disease

All this talk about contagion
But the sadist will need saving
When the curtain comes down

Here comes the sadist on his afternoon stroll
Like a holy roller trying to save my soul
Holy rolling
Here comes the sadist on his afternoon stroll
Holy rolling

Will be edited with the thank you from the comment on [personal profile] siderea post, [personal profile] conuly gave the link.

Thank you, my grandmother was born in 1902 and basically trained me, the eldest grandchild and born with congenital heart disease, all the ways people with health issues can deal with such pandemics. 💚😷
