Please Just Go Along (Parody of "Don't Download This Song" by Weird Al)

After seeing so many people at the AFL Grand Final singing along to Robbies version of "You're the Voice" by John Farnham, it got to the part in the song with the line "We're not gonna sit in silence, we're not gonna live with fear..." and I said to my dad at the time "How can so many people sing those words after so many of them complied with the lockdowns and mandates. They say they aren't gonna live with fear, but they all just went along when it mattered" And, because I had been thinking of doing a chorus/ensemble of something for quite a while, it occurred to me that Weird Al's "Don't Download This Song" was such a perfect fit!Show more

Lyrics:
Please just go along (don't download this song parody)

Once in a while you know you might feel the urge to break unconstitutional law,
By living life freely, despite all the mandates..
Like going to work, attending church, who do you think you are?!
But deep in your heart, you know the guilt would drive you mad
And the shame would leave a permanent scar
Cos you start out ignoring rules from the dictator and his goons,
Then walking around, shopping, going maskless in your car

[Chorus]
So please just go along
Cos I'm just not morally strong
Even when you know that it, is completely wrong
Oh, please just go along

[Verse 2]
Oh, you don't want to mess with the vic-stazi police
They'll choke you if you aren't wearing a mask
It doesn't matter if you're a grandma or an innocent young girl
They'll treat you like the evil, hard bitten, criminal scum you are

[Chorus]
So please just go along
I even put it in a sooong
Go on, just obey me like you know that you should
Oh, please just go along

Bridge]
Don't put the blame on me
I do it for money
How else can I afford to just feed my family
I'm simply following orders,
Bear no culpability
So all I ask is everybody please

[Chorus]
Please just go along (just do it, wont you?)
We’ll trump up bail conditions (You can just ask Nick)
Go and follow the crowd like you know that you should (You really should)
Oh, please just go along

[Outro]
Please just go along (Oh, please wont you do it or you)
Might wind up in jail like Simeon (Remember AC)
If you don't obey us (Right now)
get sprayed in the face (Go on and try it)
Oh, please just go along
Please just go along (woah oh , woah oh )
We will smash your head before too long (And you'll deserve it)
Go make my job easy (Just do it) like you know that you should (You cheeky bastard)
