Musician Van Morrison is railing against UK lockdowns and pandemic restrictions in three new songs.
Morrison's protests despite the government's success at containing Covid-19 transmissions.
His new singles feature lyrics so specific and incendiary they sound as though they were designed to be played at rallies and protests.
Morrison, who is Northern Irish, released the songs as "songs of protest."
They are meant to criticize the government's decisions to shut down businesses, including live music venues.
"I'm not telling people what to do or think. The government is doing a great job of that already."
"It's about freedom of choice. I believe people should have the right to think for themselves."
