Aids

Ah let's have the crack man.
Gimme the pills.
I'm not scared of those chemicals
The doctors say will kill.
I would die for my country
Or In an aeroplane crash,
But if you've got aids man
Stay away from my arse.

I was tossin' an' turning.
I couldn't sleep last night.
I hit the early morning news stand
Just to pass some time.
An' shouting out from the front page,
The ominous headline.
"By the year 2000
Half the world could be dying.

Johnny is a pooftah.
Willie is a queer.
Charlie says he's straight arrow
But admits he's not sure
About his wife Georgina
Who's real name is George.
But for a wife so beautiful
She's gotta lotta balls.

No this Ain' no Chernobyl,
Or a nuclear war,
Earthquake, volcano,
Or act of God.
Just four simple letters.
A.I.D.S.
Anal Injected Death Sentence
. But you know what that spells.

They say it happened down in Maryland,
A test leak from a lab,
But if we're to believe that
There's one thing I can't understand.
Of all the damned and dyin'
Of this killer disease
There ain't no scientists
Just junkies and queers.
