THE MIRACLES OF MODERN MEDICINE.

lyrics

you arrive on a gurney
on your hospital journey
monitor all your vitals
no time for being idle
poke prodding deprivation
lie still in your situation
don't roll in your sleep
lest the nurses come in and creep

these are the miracles of modern medicine
modern medicine

bedpans and IV walking
not doing too much talking
minimise all your bleeding
monitor what you're eating
pills all day every hour
wet rags instead of the shower
careful who comes to visit
not much of life, now is it?

these are the miracles of modern medicine
modern medicine

CHORUS:
it's so frightening
and enlightening
the cure can be worse
than what ails you
eyes wide open
you're still hopin'
that you can go home
before your heart fails you

later on comes the billing
take the cash from the willing
sending you on your way
will you be back again someday?
pills and more doctors visits
not much of a life now is it?
not much of a life now is it?
not much of a life now is it?

these are the miracles of modern medicine
modern medicine

(REPEAT CHORUS, then OUT.)
