My favourite covers are those where the singer never shuts up.

Lyrics:

Morphine, aspirin, fentanyl
Paracetamol
325mg red
325mg rose
Cheers and bon appetit
Activated charcoal
250mg
Spit
"Oh, shut it"

-----
I know of pain and devotion
A gear in the machine grew immune to corrosion
Go on, turn back the clock
I will set it in motion all over

Like an obedient dog

What do you know of devotion?
Be grateful for the freedom of lacking emotion
Accept your future path wasn't yours to be chosen
And even if it takes you decades, I know that-
-----

I know
What it means, how it feels
To be atypical
A typical dilemma

You know
After all, you and I are rather similar
I'm just
Better

I know
What it means, how it feels
To be exceptional
It's not about conceit

I've got it
Written in the receipts
And your pathetic lot
Makes me
Feel sick

"Oh, it's noble to serve as means to meet an end" (means to meet an end)
So sentiment aside
Why don't you take pride in being
An important asset
For our experiment

Run the traditional
3-2-1
The siren sounds
As you play your defective drum
I wonder if my amygdala's going numb
A life of fun giving purpose to scum (FUN!)
We do what must be done

Focus, channel and then discard
Now, sympathy has no place in a righteous heart
The only use for a motor not meant to start
Is to become an expendable part (That's right!)
To fill the testing chart

-----
This isn't my first time sinking lower than the low
How hard can it be to never let it overflow
Oh, I've gotten used to being haunted long ago
All I need to hear's a simple-
-----

I know
How it goes, how it works
The formula's the same
The checkup's done
Now bottoms up

Down
All you got, all you need
To dull the muscle pain
And that
Migraine

I've found
There's no reason to doubt the principle at play
And when you lay the ground for progress
Sacrifices are something that you have to make
First give, then take

Morphine, aspirin, fentanyl
"Oh, it's a disgrace!"
"I'm amazed at the board's lack of scientific taste."
"They just don't understand
you're too precious to waste."
"Shame, how we have to part ways."

So she says

I see, you're playing me for a fool
To be replaced by a less inconvenient tool
I've an objection
Not one you can overrule
Since men like me have the right to be cruel
I cannot play it cool

When you look at me from above
Being too good equals being not good enough
Just as disposable as any other part
That's all I am
All I've been from the start
To your pathetic lot

-----
Your cold breaking point
Was reached as the shackles
Were cracked and destroyed
Your heart is in shambles
But that's all okay
I'm sure you will pull through
Because being used
Is really uncool

Oh, what a tragedy, a terrible woe
The only hope of our society - what a blow, ah

This particular troubled youth on the diagram
Found his footings in saying
"I'm free, therefore I am"
