Penelope Scott - American Healthcare Lyrics

When I was seven years old
I saw a dead man in the road
Outside the liquor store a few blocks from my school
Well he was cold and he was warm
He looked the damn same as before
Except for something in the eyes and a bit of drool
Well people die every day
I wouldn't have it any other way
I just think they should feel good while they are alive
I went to school I got good grades
I don't know what you want me to say
But tell me faster, 'cause you're running out of time

I wanted to help people
I thought that I could save the sick
And if it's all the same to you
There's one more thing I gotta do
'Cause with God as my witness
You corporate f*cking prick
I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil's dick

I made it through all four years
And then almost a decade more
I asked the right questions
I never even really got bored
They hired me in my hometown
And then again when I moved away
People liked me back then
What can I say
It was the government
The companies, bureaucracy
The lobbyists, the Congressmen and lies
They trickled into both my ears
It got louder over the years
Until all that I could hear was f*cking flies

Well people die every day
I wouldn't have it any other way
I just think they should feel okay while they are alive
How could they ever feel okay
When things are more and more this way
Sometimes it's like they'd rather die

Well I f*cking helped people
I thought that I could do the trick
And if it's all the same to you
There's one more thing I gotta do
'Cause with God as my witness
You corporate piece of shit
I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil's dick
