Not sure if you intended this, but you can absolutely get what you wrote to work with the timing (and same rhyme sounds/pattern, basically) of the first few lyrics of Guns N Roses 'Welcome to the Jungle', with minor modifications.
Welcome to the Jungle,
where we play dirty games.
Food safety sure costs a lot,
so fuck the FDA.
We are the people who hate fines,
Whatever they may be.
If you got no money, honey,
We got your disease.
etc.
(Wonderful that some of the lyrics don't have to change at all, nor really the chorus, yay internal bleeding.)
That was my intention. Good on ya!
Sha na na na na na Shingles, eeeeek!
It gives "Watch it bring it to your n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees" an entirety different context! 🤮
I mean... the original song's use of that phrase arguably references a woman basically being forced to give bjs to her dealer in order to get drugs she's now addicted to...
All of this is terrible!
Sad thing, that original song would still apply - but now for safe baby food, carrots, or maybe a sack of flour. A lot of people are going to do things that they never expected to do.
We are going to live an cursed existence. 💩
I read the original to the tune without thinking about it!
