We apologise, apologise we've inconvenienced 
Everybody in the country 
But until we have a vaccine, until we have a cure 
Follow our simple rules 
Download the latest greatest version of our app 
It'll help with contact tracing 
Our mantra is available on iTunes and Spotify 
And there's the YouTube video

Rewire and rewind 
Let it wash 
For 20 seconds 
And retrain your brainwaves 
It's alright, it's ok 
We'll return to normal any day now 

If you've travelled to New Zealand or mingled with the working class 
Practise self isolation 
Mainstream media has been whittled back 
But we've kept News Corp 
No social security, trade unions are shut 
Any non-essential service 
And if you mistakenly feel your welfare is in jeopardy 
You know exactly where to go 

Click play

Rewire and rewind 
Let it wash 
For 20 seconds 
And retrain your brainwaves 
It's alright, it's ok 
We'll return to normal any day now 

Where our schools are open 
And we've replaced all the books 
Where our borders are open 
To the wealthiest of crooks 
Where our economy is back 
In black but never green 
And if this feels unpalatable to you 
We've got the perfect thing for you to do
