You walk around with a face mask on
Until your ears turn blue
You avoid any kind of crowd
Scared of the outbreak Swine Flu

People have lost their savings
And stores are closing down
Major companies get bail outs
And there's few jobs to be found

They tell us not to worry
Go about your daily routine
As they warn of terror attacks
I'm so nervous I could scream

I started eating chicken
Seemed like the safest thing to do
But it wasn't any time at all
They discovered chicken flu

I don't want to hear of anymore news
I need a more peaceful place
I'm signing up as soon as I can
To take off to outer space!
