Mick Jagger shares a song ‘EAZY SLEAZY’ wrote about coming out of lockdown

Mick Jagger released a pleasant surprise collaboration with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl “Easy Sleazy,” which brushes through all of 2020s lowlights.

“It’s a song that I wrote about coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism,” Jagger said in a statement Tuesday. “Thanks to Dave Grohl for jumping on drums, bass and guitar. It was a lot of fun working with him.”

The song also name-checks Bill Gates, lampoons conspiracy theories and those who deny climate change and gleefully reveals “There’s aliens in the deep state.”

I wanted to share this song that I wrote about coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism – thank you to Dave Grohl @foofighters for jumping on drums, bass and guitar, it was a lot of fun working with you on this-hope you all enjoy Eazy Sleazy! https://t.co/7FoI5T36aU

LYRICS —

WE TOOK IT ON THE CHIN

THE NUMBERS WERE SO GRIM

BOSSED AROUND BY PRICKS

STIFFEN UPPER LIPS

PACING IN THE YARD

YOU’RE TRYING TO TAKE THE MICK

YOU MUST THINK IM REALLY THICK

LOOKING AT THE GRAPHS WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS

CANCEL ALL THE TOURS FOOTBALLS FAKE APPLAUSE

NO MORE TRAVEL BROCHURES

VIRTUAL PREMIERES

IVE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO WEAR

LOOKING OUT FROM THESE PRISON WALLS

YOU GOT TO ROB PETER IF YOU’RE PAYING PAUL

BUT ITS EASY EASY EVERYTHING’S GONNA GET REALLY FREAKY

ALRIGHT ON THE NIGHT

SOON IT LL BE BE A MEMORY YOU’RE TRYING TO REMEMBER TO FORGET

THATS A PRETTY MASK

BUT NEVER TAKE A CHANCE TIK TOK STUPID DANCE

TOOK A SAMBA CLASS I 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 ITS LOBOTOMISING ME

THINK IVE PUT ON WEIGHT

ILL HAVE ANOTHER DRINK THEN ILL CLEAN THE KITCHEN SINK

WE ESCAPED FROM THE PRISON WALLS

OPEN THE WINDOWS AND OPEN THE DOORS

BUT ITS EASY EASY

EVERYTHING S GONNA GET REALLY FREAKY

ALRIGHT ON THE NIGHT

ITS GONNA BE A GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS

EASY SLEAZY ITS GONNA BE SMOOTH AND GREASY

YEAH EASY BELIEVE ME

ITL’L ONLY BE A MEMORY YOU’RE TRYING TO REMEMBER

TO FORGET

SHOOTING THE VACCINE BILL GATES IS IN MY BLOODSTREAM

ITS MIND CONTROL

THE EARTH IS FLAT AND COLD ITS NEVER WARMING UP

THE ARCTICS TURNED TO SLUSH

THE SECOND COMINGS LATE

THERES ALIENS IN THE DEEP STATE

WE’LL ESCAPE FROM THESE PRISON WALLS

NOW WERE OUT OF THESE PRISON WALLS

YOU GOTTA PAY PETER IF YOU’RE ROBBING PAUL

BUT ITS EASY EASY EVERYTHING S GONNA BE REALLY FREAKY

ALRIGHT ON THE NIGHT

WERE ALL HEADED BACK TO PARADISE

YEAH EASY BELIEVE ME

ITL’L BE A MEMORY YOU’RE TRYING TO REMEMBER TO FORGET

EASY CHEESY EVERYONE SING PLEASE PLEASE ME

ITL’L BE A MEMORY YOU’RE TRING TO REMEMBER TO FORGET
