The Rolling Stones singer and the Foo Fighters frontman put out "Eazy Sleazy," a post-lockdown COVID-19 rock anthem.
Mick Jagger teamed up with Dave Grohl to release a surprise song about coming out of the pandemic.
The Rolling Stones singer and the Foo Fighters frontman put out "Eazy Sleazy" on Tuesday (April 13) (see the video and full lyrics below). It's a sort of COVID-19 rock anthem that manages to touch on lockdown, Zoom calls, masks, anti-vaxxers and more, all while celebrating a return to freedom and "a garden of earthly delights."
"I wanted to share this song that I wrote about coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism - thank you to Dave Grohl for jumping on drums, bass and guitar, it was a lot of fun working with you on this-hope you all enjoy Eazy Sleazy!" the 77-year-old Jagger wrote on Twitter.

It’s hard to put into words what recording this song with Sir @MickJagger means to me. It’s beyond a dream come true. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any crazier......and it’s the song of the summer, without a doubt!! https://t.co/hudEh7LCN2 https://t.co/irNkf9zgbq — Foo Fighters (@foofighters) April 13, 2021
Here's the result:

See the lyrics below.
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 I'M REALLY THICK
LOOKING AT THE GRAPHS WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS
CANCEL ALL THE TOURS FOOTBALLS FAKE APPLAUSE
NO MORE TRAVEL BROCHURES
VIRTUAL PREMIERES
I'VE 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
THAT'S 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 IT'S LOBOTOMISING ME
THINK I'VE PUT ON WEIGHT
ILL HAVE ANOTHER DRINK THEN I'LL CLEAN THE KITCHEN SINK
WE ESCAPED FROM THE PRISON WALLS
OPEN THE WINDOWS AND OPEN THE DOORS
BUT IT'S EASY EASY
EVERYTHING'S GONNA GET REALLY FREAKY
ALRIGHT ON THE NIGHT
IT'S GONNA BE A GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS
EASY SLEAZY IT'S GONNA BE SMOOTH AND GREASY
YEAH EASY BELIEVE ME
IT'LL ONLY BE A MEMORY YOU’RE TRYING TO REMEMBER
TO FORGET
SHOOTING THE VACCINE BILL GATES IS IN MY BLOODSTREAM
IT'S MIND CONTROL
THE EARTH IS FLAT AND COLD IT'S NEVER WARMING UP
THE ARCTIC'S TURNED TO SLUSH
THE SECOND COMINGS LATE
THERE'S 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 IT'S EASY EASY
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE REALLY FREAKY
ALRIGHT ON THE NIGHT
WE'RE ALL HEADED BACK TO PARADISE
YEAH EASY BELIEVE ME
IT'LL BE A MEMORY YOU’RE TRYING TO REMEMBER TO FORGET
EASY CHEESY EVERYONE SING PLEASE PLEASE ME
IT'LL BE A MEMORY YOU’RE TRYING TO REMEMBER TO FORGET
