Saccharine lies and saline
There's no reward there's no reward
And to each positive test
There's no reward there's no reward

I'm following the process
There's no reward there's no reward
Just another batch of tests
There's no reward there's no reward

Pandemic reality
And no one is familiar
Preservatives smell sickly sweet
I hate it
The smell wafts from the biosafety cabinet
Oh I hate it

Saccharine lies and saline
The reagent smells are so disgusting
Now just stop what you’re thinking
And on to the next and onto the next

Each day the numbers rising
And try to stay calm and try to stay calm
Just another batch of tests
There's no reward there's no reward
There's no reward there's no reward

Saccharine lies and saline
There's no reward there 's no reward
Your toxic optimism
There's no reward there's no reward
And yet people are dying

There's no reward there's no reward
You don't take it serious [ly]
There's no reward there's no reward

Saccharine lies and saline
There's no reward there's no reward
You dare call me a hero
There's no reward there's no reward

Then what does that make you now?
There's no reward there's no reward
Negligence is still harmful
There's no reward there's no reward

No matter how loud I scream
The only one who will listen
Was already following
All of the rules

That's not enough
Saccharine lies and saline
You're easily ignoring it
Don't tell me: It'll be fine
I've always known that was a lie

Saccharine lies and saline
There's no reward there's no reward
Saccharine lies and saline
There's no reward there's no reward

Saccharine lies and saline
There's no reward there's no reward
Saccharine lies and saline
There's no reward there's no reward
There's no reward there's no reward
