"Overreacting" Parody of "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons

 Author's Note: I love Imagine Dragons, please do not think by me writing this song parody that I am making fun of them or do not respect them.  That said, the parody is about a girl (or it could be a guy, but girls tend to be the dramatic ones) who cuts her hand on a page in her book and totally "overreacts". Enjoy.


I'm waking up to ash and dust
I'm suffering from a paper cut
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I examine my wound, on my hand there's a deep rut
I'm breathing in the chemical
I'm breathing in very deep breaths


I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
I'm sobbing loud, standing up, then collapsing back on to the couch
This is it, the apocalypse
This is it, the possible death of me
Whoa
Oh no

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
I'm throwing up, it cut right through my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Enough to make my stomach blow (chunks)
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the next page, to the next page
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the next page, to the next page
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm Radioactive, Radioactive
Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow, I'm overreacting, overreacting
Whoa,whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm Radioactive, Radioactive
Ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow, I'm overreacting, overreacting

I raise my flags, don my clothes
I'm covered in blood, I wash my clothes  
It's a revolution, I suppose
It's a fatal wound, I suppose  
We're painted red to fit right in
I'm cleansing my wound to sanitize it
Whoa
Ow

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
I'm sobbing loud, standing up, then collapsing back on to the couch
This is it, the apocalypse
This is it, the possible death of me
Whoa
Oh no

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
I'm throwing up, it cut right through my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Enough to make my stomach blow (chunks) 
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the next page, to the next page
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the next page, to the next page
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm Radioactive, Radioactive
Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,I'm overreacting, overreacting
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm Radioactive, Radioactive
Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,I'm overreacting, overreacting

All systems go, the sun hasn't died  
No hope for my  life, I haven't yet died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
I'm feeling alone, empty inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
I'm throwing up, it cut right through my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Enough to make my stomach blow (chunks)
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the next page, to the next page
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the next page, to the next page
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,whoa, I'm Radioactive, Radioactive
Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,I'm overreacting, overreacting
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm Radioactive, Radioactive
Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,I'm overreacting, overreacting
