Patient Zero

My name is Patient Zero
Just Zero if you please
I’m here to spread my message
Dripping with disease
I’m here to take all credit
And zero of the blame
The virus is stupidity
And Zero is my name

My name is Patient Zero
I told you once before
Add my number to itself
And then you’ll know the score
I make it all so easy
You won’t have to think no more
Just get down with the sickness
And open up the door

I’m Zero, I’m your hero
Leave it all to me
I will make you wealthy, 
Strong and safe and free
If you feel unhealthy
That’s just conspiracy
Ignore any evidence
To the contrary

They call me Patient Zero
But there’s no time to wait
Practice social distancing
From everyone we hate
Raise your hand, salute my flag
Praise my military
I’m absolutely zero
My country ‘tis of me
