Valerie solanis took the elevator got off at the 4th floor

Valerie solanis took the elevator got off at the 4th floor

She pointed the gun at andy saying you cannot control me anymore



And i believe there's got to be some retribution

I believe an eye for an eye is elemental

And i believe that something's wrong if she's alive right now



Valerie solanis took three steps pointing at the floor

Valerie solanis waved her gun pointing at the floor

From inside her idiot madness spoke and bang

Andy fell onto the floor



And i believe life's serious enough for retribution

I believe being sick is no excuse and

I believe i would've pulled the switch on her myself



When they got him to the hospital his pulse was gone

They thought that he was dead

His guts were pouring from his wounds onto the floor

They thought that he was dead

Not until years later would the hospital do to him what she could not

Andy said, "where were you, you didn't come to see me"

Andy said, "i think i died, why didn't you come to see me"

Andy said, ""t hurt so much, they took blood from my hand"



I believe there's got to be some retribution

I believe there's got to be some retribution

I believe we are all the poorer for it now





Visit me, why didn't you visit me

Visit me, why didn't you visit me
