MacGuffin in the Limelight

It all began
Silent, at the train stop
Started off
Like any other day

And when I got
Back home from the nothing
That was when I looked and saw that
I'm now a monster

Of course, it's me
Mr. Not a chance
The world turned a blind eye
Even when I was screaming

God!
This hurts
The doctor said take this med
It won't make me okay

Read the papers
Watched the news
It's crazy out there, man
Glad I'm not part of that

Time to go shopping
Hope it's quiet there
It would be a shame if I were notable at all

I can't run, and I can't hide from them
I can't hear even in the blaring coverage
Step back, get away, let me go
One more day, down the drain
My life degrades

Question my allies
Burn all my contacts
Don't sign the census

I'm just a target now
Trash the equipment
Curse on the live feed
Snap at the prodders

I really hate this

Run down the highway
Hide in the mountains
Live in the forest

They found me again

Shot with a tranq dart
Caught like a stray dog
Please don't dissect me
I'm human too

I can't run, and I can't hide from them
I can't hear even in the blaring coverage
Step back, get away, let me go

One more day, down the drain
My life degrades
I'm not special, I'm not even cool

All you want is my body
You absolute creeps!
Step back
Get away
Let me go

One more day down the drain

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go of me

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go right now

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go of me

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go right now

I will cry no more
I will run no more
I won't be hunted
I will be human

My name is target
I am the target
Aim your bow at me
Fire it at me, now
