Week 41 - The Shot (231013)

from Song A Week, Vol. 8 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

I got the shot today
Am I superhuman
Will I fall apart
Or light up in the dark

I got the shot today
Will I be a new man
And what's this sinking feeling
That I have in my heart

Are we lab rats
No more than guinea pigs
Will someone profit grossly off it
Is the system rigged

Have I seen this all before
And somehow just forgot
I might have known it yesterday
But today I got the shot

They jabbed my vein today
And now I'm feeling fine
Catch me when I stumble
Locked up in a bubble

They stabbed my arm today
And now I'm going blind
Shoot away my troubles
Make my shot a double
