Listen to the full song on Apple Music

The song "On Again Off Again" by Riverboat Gamblers tackles the theme of frustration and disillusionment with the healthcare system. The lyrics describe the experience of standing in line at a clinic, dealing with the cold weather and the possibility of being turned away. The protagonist expresses their discomfort and dissatisfaction with the system, as they are aware that medical assistance is not easily accessible or free.

The repetition of the phrase "On again, off again" emphasizes the inconsistent and unreliable nature of the healthcare they receive. The mention of dirty laundry and infected sores suggests the dire conditions and lack of proper care in the clinic.

The protagonist expresses a sense of indifference and defiance towards their circumstances, stating that they don't care and won't be discouraged. They feel overlooked and unimportant, as their health is not a priority to those in charge. This sentiment is reinforced by the line "I know that nothing's entitled to me... My health ain't part of your priority."

The chorus, with its repetitive drilling and withdrawal imagery, reflects the sense of frustration and repetition the protagonist feels as they navigate the healthcare system. The lyrics "Aim for the nerve, that'll hurt just fine" could be interpreted as a commentary on the invasive or painful procedures they endure.

Overall, "On Again Off Again" expresses the frustration, disillusionment, and powerlessness that can come from dealing with a flawed and inaccessible healthcare system. It serves as a critique of the prioritization of profit over people's well-being.

On again off again lyrics.

It's 6 a.m., out in the clinic line. It's freezing cold, you may get told come back another time. They can help you, but they can't help you for free. Don't it make you uncomfortable? Dirty laundry, infected sore. Rationale ain't sound anymore. I don't care, don't give a fuck, I'll be around, I'll be waiting...I know... I know that nothing's entitled to me... My health ain't part of your priority...

Stand in line. Hey! Drill in again, On again, Off again, On again, Off again. Miss a pill. Hey! Withdraw again. On again, Off again, On again, off again.

Aim for the nerve, that'll hurt just fine. Malignant, or is it begin? Go see the Dr...but does the Dr. see me? Once again, I'm still uncomfortable. A little pain, goes with a little poor. Guess I'm just not "down" anymore. I don't care, don't give a fuck, I'll be around, I'll be waiting...I know...

Stand in line. Hey! Drill in again, On again, Off again, On again, Off again. Miss a pill. Hey! Withdraw again. On again, Off again, On again, off again. Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimme, gimmie this one, that one, this one, that one

Paris Paralympics 2024: Preethi Pal wins India's first-ever track medal with bronze in 100m T35

• Shyam Vasudevan

Preethi Pal made history on Friday as she became the first Indian para-athlete to win a 100m medal at the Paralympics. Preethi clocked a personal best of 14.21s to win bronze in the women's 100m T35 final of the Paris Paralympics, finishing behind China's Xia Zhou and Qianqian Guo. This was India's first-ever track medal at the Paralympics.

It was a rainy afternoon in Paris and the track at the Stade de France was moist, but that did not affect Preethi as the Paralympics debutant got off to a brilliant start and held her own to claim a creditable bronze.

AUGUST 30 LIVE BLOG | PARALYMPICS 2024 KEY DATES | EVERY MEDAL WON BY INDIA AT PARLYMPICS | PARALYMPIC CLASSIFICATIONS EXPLAINED

Preethi competes in the T35 category, which is for para-athletes who have impairments in coordination. The 23-year-old from Muzzarfarnagar was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age and that affected her movements. Preethi initially trained in Meerut and then moved to New Delhi to train on a synthetic track and it made a world of a difference.

Preethi had fallen agonizingly short of two medals at the 2023 Asian Para Games when she finished fourth in the women's 100m and 200m in the T35 category, but that fuelled her to become better. In 2024, she won two golds at the Indian Open Para Athletics Championships and that set her up well for the World Para Athletics Championships, where she would achieve history.

Preethi won bronze in the women's 100m and 200m in the T35 category, which not only won her quotas for the Paris Paralympics but also her first medals in an international competition.

On Friday, Preethi won the biggest medal of her career and India's first track and field medal of the 2024 Paralympics. This was India's third medal of the day after Avani Lekhara won gold, while Mona Agarwal bagged bronze in the women's 10m air rifle standing SH1.
