Holding Out For a Vaccine (Parody of Holding Out For a Hero)
Published at : September 13, 2021
This is a parody of "Holding Out for a Hero" that I created called "Holding Out for a Vaccine." I am one of many parents of kids under 12 in the USA who are desperate for a COVID vaccine for their kids, so they can have the same protection during this pandemic as most everyone else. I do not own the rights to the music.
Where has all the good sense gone, that could stop this loss of life?
Where’s the god damn empathy for those fighting this endless fight?
Parents know a time will come when they can’t do this anymore.
But our kids deserve to have a fighting chance in this war.
We need a vaccine!
We’re holding out for a vaccine every night and day
It’s gotta be fast, and it’s gotta be soon,
We know COVID’s not going away.
We need a vaccine!
We’re holding out for a vaccine every day and night.
It’s gotta be soon, like it’s gotta be NOW
So our kids stand a chance in this fight.
It doesn’t have to be this way, we could put COVID in the past.
But too many people won’t get the shot or wear a mask.
These adults refuse to make a single sacrifice.
They just go about their lives and leave our kids to pay the price.
We need a vaccine!
We’re holding out for a vaccine every day and night.
It’s gotta be soon, like it’s gotta be NOW
So our kids stand a chance in this fight.
We need a vaccine!
We’re holding out for a vaccine to protect our kids
We’ve kept them alive, but now Delta’s arrived
And it’s gonna get worse than it is.
What will it take to stop the lies?
When it’s YOUR loved one who dies?
It’s always the same damn tune played on repeat
By the time the unvaxxed meet their fate
They want the shot, but it’s too late.
And this forces the rest of us to face defeat.
We need a vaccine!
We’re holding out for a vaccine every day and night.
