To be sung to the music of Jazz Police by Leonard Cohen.

Can you tell me why the stores aren’t open?
No-one’s died who’s less than 84
We’ve been locked down all of 2020
Two weeks somehow turned to 54

Mask police are sniffing ’round the airport
Mask police are hiding in mufti
Mask police operate their own court
Traveller, drop your bag, it’s mask police

Biden taken seriously by the lawful
Biden taken joyously by the green
Mask police are paid by Jerome Powell
Travellers paid by J.’s printing machine

Mask police I feel you watching
Mask police I feel so ill
Mask police I think I’m coughing
I’m coughing for you

Violent as any black-clad anti-fascist
I applaud the actions of the chief
Tell me now oh digital and mendacious
Am I in trouble with the mask police?

They will never understand this danger
They’ll never understand the mask police
Mask police are working for the stranger
Blood is thicker than this civic peace

Let me go to somewhere that’s a homeland
Let me see my fellows on the street
Culture free and open and unplanned
Bigot – live in a pod and eat bug-meat!

Mask police are sniffing ’round the airport
Mask police are hiding in mufti
Mask police operate their own court
Traveller, drop your bag, it’s mask police
