The Commandant

A song about internment camps for the unvaccinated.

The Commandant

(v1) I’m the Commandant, you must play by our rules
You didn’t listen, we gave you the tools
That’s what you get, a knock on the door
We’ll take you away, you’ll be feeling quite sore
We blocked all your funds, you can’t pay the rent
You don’t understand, we brook no dissent
Do you still want to fight, are you really quite sure?
Just come right in, we’ve opened up the door

(v2) I’m the Commandant, now you’re locked up
Yes I know it was quick, and so abrupt
It’s a bit cold and certainly damp
You want to write home, but we’re all out of stamps
How is the food, you’re looking quite lean
We’re running quite short, during this quarantine
You can fume all you want, feeling so cramped
How do you like, our new internment camp?

(Chorus 1) We have decrees, bring you to your knees
You must accept, there’s an emergency
No more questions, no more gab
All because you won’t take our jab

(v3) Why are you here? You’ve got to know why
It’s very simple, we don’t want to die
You can infect us, we offer no proof
You just have to trust us, we know the truth
Locking you up, we know it looks bad
But we just don’t care, that you’re feeling quite sad
We’ll never admit, that we’re really quite sick
This is our job to punish the heretics

(Chorus 2) We have decrees, bring you to your knees
You must accept, there’s an emergency
No more questions, no more gab
All because you won’t take our jab

(Bridge) We deal in numbers, you know you can’t win
Just cold statistics and our marvelous spin
We invented a monster, that you’ll never see
Now don’t you know that you’ll never be free
And how do you like our audacity?
It’s segregation, just like old times
You’ll end up here, if you don’t tow the line

Verse instrumental

(Chorus 3) The clock is ticking, your time is up
You must obey, drink from our cup
No more questions, no more gab
All because you won’t take our jab

(V4) You never thought, it could happen here
I’m the Commandant, and I bring you good cheer
The rooms are quite comfy, it’s a beautiful day
We can’t guarantee, how long you will stay
Controlling your thoughts, there’s no other way
Did you really believe, that you’d never pay?
It’s for your protection, Yes I’m now on a roll
I’m the Commandant, and I’ve claimed your very soul
