The music generic and pathetic. But the lyrics really take the cake. Did he write them in five minutes? It's some lazy shit...
This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer
It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door
I knew that something was going on wrong
When you started laying down the law
Eric Clapton - This Has Gotta Stop (Official Music Video)
Eric Clapton's 'This Has Gotta Stop' Appears to Take On Covid Vaxx - Rolling Stone
In what appears to be his latest salvo against Covid-19 vaccinations and the lockdown, Eric Clapton has surprise-released a new single, "This Has Gotta Stop," with an accompanying animated video that also addresses climate change disaster.
A bluesy shuffle, "This Has Gotta Stop" appears to reference some of the medical issues that Clapton said he experienced after receiving an AstraZeneca vaccination earlier this year with what he claimed were "disastrous" results: "My hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning," he wrote at the time. As he sings in "This Has Gotta Stop," "I knew that something was going on wrong/When you started laying down the law/I can't move my hands, I break out in sweat/I wanna cry, I can't take it anymore." In the chorus he sings, "This has gotta stop/Enough is enough/I can't take this BS any longer."

The video includes images of people turned into marionettes or staring zombie-style at their phones; politicians or government officials addressing crowds; and others holding signs that say "Liberty" and "Enough Is Enough." It also includes an illustration of Jam for Freedom, the anti-lockdown UK street-performer group that Clapton supports, as well as imagery of a world on fire from environment disaster.

"This Has Gotta Stop" ties in with Clapton's recent and controversial comments about the pandemic lockdown. In July, Clapton announced he would "not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present." Clapton's U.S. tour, which is confined to mostly indoor arenas in the South, is scheduled to start Sept. 13 in Fort Worth, Texas, before wrapping up Sept. 26 in Florida.
Edit
Oh, man - Van Morrison is shit too. Sigh.
Anti lockdown songs
In November 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Clapton and Van Morrison collaborated on an anti-mask, anti-lockdown single title "Stand and Deliver", the profits from which were donated to Morrison's "Lockdown Financial Hardship Fund".
Dude is rich as fuck. How exactly has he been substantively harmed in your opinion?
