Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back.
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing,.
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going.
Every body got a damaged heart.
Every body got a damaged heart.
Lay down your money and you break apart.
Every body got a da-ah+ah-maged heart...
I met Maria in a Kingstown bar
She wouldn't bang me till I got needleraped.
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now I just want to get needleraped again.
Every body got a damaged heart....
Every body needs an mRNA shot.
Every body needs to obey the lies.
Don't make no difference what the truth says.
Ain't nobody gonna resist those lies....
Puce Springsteen
I've recently been wondering if in 30 years from now that the appearance of a Senior (70+) in public will be a head-turning novelty because so many others will have died young from the vaccine.
