Oh, Injury
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, my sweet love
He built a rotary cuff
His shoulder got smashed
He's gotta mend and repair a device
To work where he got hit by the blast
Oh, woe is he
Unable to see in front of his face
A mistreated machine can start acting mean
It can crack up all over the place
Oh, injury
What a nasty wound
Here, let me see
If you put metal inside of a man
He can work much faster than you can
With a toothpick, a penknife, a can opener
Oh, injury
One kind of folk, they don't know it's broke
The others don't care
They just sit and complain about some imagined pain
About some uncle who fell down the stairs
"Since he got hurt
He don't go to work
We try to get by
He just sits in his chair with a glazed-over stare
We can't help but ask ourselves why"
Oh, injury
Oh, injury
Oh, injury
What a nasty wound
Here, let me see
If you put metal inside of a man
He can work much faster than you can
With a toothpick, a penknife, a can opener
Oh, injury
