This song is about the perils of government testing and how each volunteer test subject is treated like a lab rat instead of a human being with real emotions. It also illustrates the experiment going wrong and no one doing anything about it.
Experiments for the government, I hear they're paying well
I needed the money, all I have is my courage to sell
Inoculations for the benefit of all mankind
A human guinea pig, I've laid my life out on the line
I didn't plan on this misery, this drastic change
Organ donor before my death, what a foolish risk
Had suspicions when they hooked the needle to my wrist
Felt the sickness as the fluid gushed beneath my flesh
My peeling skin turns green, at least I can pay the rent
Masochistic nausea I can't chase away
Transforming, my sight is fading away
Blood cells mutating in unnatural ways
Hair is receding, my skin turns to scales
Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell
Distort the tissue to create the strain
Biological warfare is their fucking game
I've paid the price for naive accessory
Last mutated, I am no longer me
From the labs out to the streets the virus stays
Transforming, my sight is fading away
Blood cells mutating in unnatural ways
Hair is receding, my skin turns to scales
Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell
No immunization, no antidote to sell
Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell
