Doctor Doctor
Doctor doctor
Tell me what went wrong
Doctor doctor
Will I have to wait that long?
Doctor what is the use
My heart is battered
These words just an excuse
Doctor, peer down in me
Tell me what you see
All of us been bumped, discarded
Don't need no patient history
Doctor we're out on the streets
Fathers and Mothers gone
Got more families than fingers
Can you say what went wrong?
Please mister Doctor M.D.
Got no love to speak of
We wrecked in misery
Church ladies snort their faces
Social workers grab and wrench
Doctor we looking for a home
What can you prescribe?
Doctor you ran all the tests
I know this old body wont last
Fracture lines in the veins
And all the days been smashed
Doctor what can you do
Spent my whole life looking for you
