tom mcfadden – black death vs. yellow fever lyrics
chorus:
yeah uh huh – you don’t want this ish
black and yellow…
bacteria and viruses
black and yellow…
pre – germ theory. don’t know what this is
we may be microbes but we do it big
[black death] trying to spread inside eukaryotic
screaming out your lymph nodes: “that’s bubonic!”
so get scared when you see a flea on a rat
black plague, on my list, yersinia pestis
[yellow fever] or if you see a mosquito better step back
yellow fever – flavivirus. got you bleeding out your iris
verse 1
[black death] uh. black death. i know you heard
europe scared of me. cuz i k!lled a 1/3
couldn’t explain me. stopped trusting the church
k!lling all the cl-sses – social structures taking turns
[yellow fever] when i get inside – i get your blood pouring
no cure for me – don’t care what you paid for it
and i’m balling through these colonies
k!lled 9% of philly. terrorized ’em in their dreams
[black death] hear them doctors talk, but there’s nothing they could tell ’em
75 million, in one century that’s how i get ’em
[yellow fever] but that was back then. look who’s still around
no cure. who’s more scary now?
chorus
verse 2
[yellow fever] i’m all up in the news, this just in
mosquitoes spread me now because they’re deet resistant
antibiotics will tear up you bacteria
but i’m a virus, can’t slow me down with those drugs
[black death] til i’m a super bug – trying to get resistant
swapping genes until i’m over tetracycline
but yellow fever, man, you wouldn’t be acting…
…so hard if everybody had your vaccine
