Inoculated

In this science fiction, sigh, infection, waiting for a cure

Will it even matter for the poor and uninsured

Heathcare costs are rising like a weightless baloon

Gonna take a rocket, shoot me straight to the moon

Might be more effective, drop a bomb on these feckless

Hacks that run the system, greedy and wreckless

The less we let them wreck the better off we will be

Where's the booster shot to launch them into the sea

Still waiting, growing jaded

We need inoculated

So we can take this punch

And not end up terminated

Aggravated and frustrated

We need inoculated

Give us antibodies, somebody

Before we're infiltrated

Takes a virus to inspire us to take a bold stand

A pound of cure required now, after they fanned

On prevention, no attention paid, they knew what was impending

Now we're stuck in hell without much hope of an ending

Inoculate us or sedate us from their craven stupidity

Revive us and drive us down the path to lucidity

Can't we see with eyes, recognize human as human

And think for a change the effects of what we're doing

Still waiting, growing jaded

We need inoculated

So we can take this punch

And not end up terminated

Aggravated and frustrated

We need inoculated

Give us antibodies, somebody

Before we're infiltrated

Inoculate us from stupidity

Inoculate us from morbidity

Inoculate us from ourselves

Inoculate us from everyone else

Still waiting, growing jaded

We need inoculated

So we can take this punch

And not end up terminated

Aggravated and frustrated

We need inoculated

Give us antibodies, somebody

Before we're infiltrated
