a man wears a long white coat
he talks for a half hour or so
he puts his hands on the place that's in pain
and then writes a note and goes
another man is answering phones
he puts on a subtle display
he says you just try to get better and don't
worry about how much you pay
there's a place where you think for yourself
then there's a place where it's out of your hands
what else can you buy where if you don't you might die,
try imagining how that might go
try imagining how that might go
you start to feel better one day
and then you get the pain that they planned
shows up in the mail like a rattling tail
you stepped on the nest of the man
who's job it was to take a necessary cause
and bite you for as much as he can
there's a time when you think for yourself
and there's a time when it's out of your hands
what else can you buy where if you don't you might die,
try imagining how that sounds
try imagining how that sounds
try imagining, imagining, imagining, imagining
