(Intro) [Verse 1] They said, “Safe and effective,” They said, “Trust the science, please,” But I read that empty prospectus And I didn't feel at ease. “Nothing here to worry about, Nothing here to see.” Funny how the questions disappeared When they started pointing at me. [Pre-Chorus] It was a loaded question, With a loaded little smile: “Are you doing this for others?” Well, let's examine that awhile. [Chorus] So loaded! So loaded! Safe, safe, safe— How safe is safe? So loaded! So loaded! You said, “Trust us!” I said, “Wait!” [Verse 2] I knew the vaccine was a fraud— That's how certain I became, When the warnings disappeared And the promises were framed. Then the language started changing, Very carefully, very slow: “Perhaps we should have mentioned…” “More research needs to show…” [Pre-Chorus] And somewhere down the line Came a tentative apology: “Perhaps we got some things wrong.” Well, thanks for telling me. [Chorus] So loaded! So loaded! Safe, safe, safe— How safe is safe? So loaded! So loaded! You said, “Trust us!” I said, “Wait!” [Bridge – dub breakdown] Empty prospectus, Full conviction, Everybody marching In the same direction. Question the question— Watch the temperature rise. Call me selfish, Call me something worse, But don't ask me to pretend That I can't use my eyes. [Guitar / bass break] Safe! Safe! Safe! That's a very heavy word. Safe! Safe! Safe! Especially when nobody's quite sure What they heard. [Final Chorus] So loaded! So loaded! Safe, safe, safe— How safe is safe? So loaded! So loaded! You said, “Trust us!” I said, “Wait!” [Outro – dry, ironic] A little qualification… A carefully worded note… A tentative apology… And everybody clears their throat. So loaded... So loaded... You asked me why I wouldn't go. I told you why. You just didn't want to know. (Outro)
