Perchance to Dream by Turfseer

Perchance to Dream

(v1) Our daughter’s lost for evermore
She took the shot, fell to the floor
We followed all instructions to the tee
No explanation’s in the air
No questions asked, no one dares
It’s best we stop this foolish inquiry

(Chorus) No more doubts, yes we’ve been sold
Safe and effective we’ve been told
Time for us to take this for the team
She went to sleep
Oh just a teen
Did not wake up, or so it seems
Where’s the rub?
Perchance to dream

(v2) We were told you must have faith
In order to ensure she’s safe
But now she’s gone, we’re feeling all this pain
The doctors claimed it’s nothing new
We’re at a loss, they have no clue
It’s just a mystery they can’t explain

(Chorus) No more doubts, yes we’ve been sold
Safe and effective we’ve been told
Time for us to take this for the team
She went to sleep
Oh just a teen
Did not wake up, or so it seems
Where’s the rub?
Perchance to dream

(Bridge 1) No it’s wrong to speculate
The hour’s past, it’s way too late
Shut your mouth and never speak again
Don’t attack our sacred jab
For if you do, our hearts you’ll stab
Our mind’s made up, so you just
must pretend

Bridge (2) I deny what you suggest
Another lie, based on a guess
How can you question our authorities?
There’s no connection to this shot
Decency first, have you forgot?
No connection, no possibility

Verse instrumental

(Chorus) No more doubts, yes we’ve been sold
Safe and effective we’ve been told
Time for us to take this for the team
She went to sleep
Oh just a teen
Did not wake up, or so it seems
Where’s the rub?
Perchance to dream

(Coda) She sleeps so well
But do you care?
No more talk of these nightmares
Do you understand just what we mean?

All we know she’s left her mark
As we remain in the dark
Where’s the rub?
Perchance to dream
