lyrics

Got a letter in the mail today and it said,
“More exams and tests are on their way, so best prepare yourself”
And I thought, “Who the hell sends letters anymore?”
My life, in the hands of luddites. Who could ask for more?

They can pump me full of gadolinium - I don’t care
They can watch as magnets circle in the air
I want you to know that they may shake my heart
and peer and frown surrounded by residents
I want you to know I will not back down
Though I feel the resonance

I may be in the minority when I say
My physicians are not gods to me, and neither should they be
They are smart, but fallible. At the end of the day,
They’re attendants at a car wash; I’m a muddy Chevrolet

They can pump me full of gadolinium - I don’t care
and they can watch as magnets circle in the air
I want you to know that they may shake my heart
and peer and frown surrounded by residents
I want you to know I will not back down
though I feel the resonance

So happy new year – same as last year
We hold up our pictures to the light
Interpret the shapes – decipher smears
It’s not clear. It’s not clear. It’s not clear.

They can pump me full of gadolinium - I don’t care
and they can watch as magnets circle in the air
I want you to know that they may shake my heart
and peer and frown surrounded by residents
I want you to know I will not back down
though I feel the resonance
