Mick Jagger Comes Out as a Lockdown Sceptic
A number of famous musicians have nailed their colours to the good ship lockdown sceptics in the past 12 months, including Van Morrison and Eric Clapton, but none quite as illustrious as the latest addition to our ranks: Sir Mick Jagger. The Rolling Stones frontman has released a song today called “Eazy Sleazy“, a collaboration with David Grohl of the Foo Fighters. “It’s a song that I wrote about coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism,” says Jagger.
If you watch this YouTube version of the song, complete with the lyrics, you’ll find a number of anti-lockdown messages:
We took it on the chin
The numbers were so grim
Bossed around by pricks
Stiffen upper lips
YeahPacing in the yard
You’re trying to take the Mick
You must think I’m really thick
Looking at the graphs
With a magnifying glass
Cancel all the tours
Football’s fake applause
YeahNo more travel brochures
Virtual premiers
I’ve got nothing left to wearLooking out from these prison walls
You got to rob Peter if you’re paying Paul
But it’s easy, easy
Everything’s going to get really freaky
Alright, on the nightSoon it’ll be a memory you’re trying to remember to forget…
That’s a pretty mask
But never take a chance
Tik Tok stupid dance
Took a Samba class
YeahI landed on my ass
Trying to write a tune
You better hook me up to Zoom
See my poncey books
Teach myself to cook
Way too much TV
It’s lobotomising me
YeahThink I’ve put on weight
I’ll have another drink
Then I’ll clean the kitchen sinkWe’ll escape from these prison walls
Open the windows and open the doors
But it’s easy, easy
Everything’s going to get really freaky
Alright, on the night
It’s gonna be a garden of earthly delights
Yeah it’s easy, sleazy
Everything’s smooth and greasy
YeahEasy, believe me
It’ll only be a memory you’re trying to remember to forget
However, lest you think Jagger has become a full-blown conspiracy theorist, there’s a swipe at some of the crazier fringes of lockdown scepticism in the final verse:
Shooting the vaccine
Bill Gates is in my blood stream
It’s mind control
The earth is flat and cold
It’s never warming up
The Arctic’s turned to slush
The second’s coming late
And there’s aliens in the deep state

I always knew the Stones were superior to the Beatles.
That is known as damning with (very) faint praise!
Spot on Mick.
The only deadly variant is next one out of Downing Street.
It’s great.
Legend.
Mick Jagger just rocketed in my esteem so fast, Warp 10 isn’t in it.
I’m strutting around my kitchen in loon pants now. Yeah yeah.
Good lad!
I can’t get no vaccination
Good fun but the lyrics are typically ambiguous. Indeed, the BBC has already given this song a positive review. Jagger has always known how to appear radical without actually committing himself to anything. That way he sells more records.
My thoughts exactly. I fail to see how this can’t just be interpreted as chronicling the “effects of the virus” and general stupidity. Hardly coming out as a sceptic.
The journalism on here is going down the pan.
Have to agree. I thought, great, Jagger’s a sceptic, too. Then I listened to the song. Not convinced in the slightest.
Yeah but he’s trying
Don’t knock the lad (grandad).
The original rebels finally speaking out. We need a modern day protest movement with millions out on the streets showing their defiance.
Rocking 80 year old putting younger generation to shame. How refreshing it would be to see this generation emulating him and show some anger and revolt through song.
with pleasure my friend!
I’m not sure the support of these degenerate cretins is needed. We need more like Fuellmich,Yeadon,Cahill and Sucharit Bhakdi.
Remember Dylan?
We need protest songs to connect with people, something I was only thinking yesterday; shame it’s an old fart from yesterday that’s first to step up to the plate.
If this was the late 1970s the “Yuf” would be in uprising!
Still, a good effort backed up by Dave Grohl no less (guitar & drums).
Oh the power of rock ‘n’ roll.
We need another Them Crooked Vultures album, certainly …
It’s not bad, but distinctly old skool rawk…
Can they sing?
Hear hear!
Yeah, but it’s nice to have some tunes as well..
Would have been a little more credible and useful if he’d done it a year ago.
I’m not sure Bill Gates and Mind Control are fake! Certainly, the fear being propogated, the social conditioning all look like mind control to me. The fact Bill Gates is the major funding source for the WHO and large contributions to BBC health dept and Imperial College. Many, many other pharmas and media – all smells bad to me.
Gillian McKeith has a great twitter page to show to reality deniers lol

Well that was a bit of a mind-bender.
Oh dear oh dear… you guys managed to totally miss the target on this one. Mick is saying exactly the opposite of what you think he’s saying. In fact, he’s taking the piss out of you all!
And if you lack the ability to detect the sarcasm in his new song, just go a read the Rolling Stone magazine interview with him where he spells out the meaning of it for you. He is NOT on your side!
Agree. Mick Jagger Talks New Song With Dave Grohl, Pandemic, Vaccines – Rolling Stone
Good to see someone else noticed this. I wonder how many people read that last section of the article (picked apart in my comment below). It becomes more obvious by the day that the authors of this website are controlled opposition.

Jagger for PM!
Fully vaccinated Sir Mick Jagger considers anyone questioning the vaccination program here as an anti-vaxxer. For those waiting to see the longer term effects or what happens when the trials end in 2023 no discernment just straight into the anti-vax camp.
Bad enough that we fawn over celebrities even worse when they are openly ill-disposed to our views.
However, lest you think Jagger has become a full-blown conspiracy theorist, there’s a swipe at some of the crazier fringes of lockdown scepticism in the final verse: Toby Young Here we go again with the whole ‘conspiracy theorist’ malarkey. Let’s have a look at the lyrics in that last verse: Shooting the vaccine Bill Gates is in my blood stream Is Jagger (and Toby) denying Bill Gates has involvement in this sordid affair? It’s mind control Yes, yes it is. And no, I’m not talking about the unknown substance being pumped into people’s veins. I’m talking about the universal message reading out from every orifice of public life that there is a deadly virus and we all need to behave like we have it. Are you now denying this has been happening Toby? I’m sure Jagger is doing his bit right here with these lyrics… The earth is flat and cold It’s never warming up The Arctic’s turned to slush The second’s coming late And there’s aliens in the deep state Congratulations, Mick, you did a fine job conflating real, seriously important issues with turgid shit. Toby is applauding your efforts. I’ll now go and sit in the… Read more »
Who gives a fuck what he, Doily Parton Elton John, McCartney think about sweet F. A. Oh, and that erbert from… Showadywaddy, it’s great to get inspiration from geriatric teddyboys.
Miles Mathis put Jagger down as another deep state asset, a while ago. His ideas usually seem too far out, when I read them, but then I later see some corroborating evidence.
Michael Caine’s been the one to upset me most, so far, in the propaganda campaign.
This is an ad campaign for the upcoming, Gates funded “VaxLive”.

The list of VaxLive performers advocating global Jab-er-Woke probably meant nothing to most LDS readers. But if they read ATL here they should know ex-Nirvana tub thumper Dave “Eazy Sleazy” Grohl is the Foo Fighters front man & guitarist. Now, square the circle…..
Good on Him…..BRILLIANT
