American Healthcare (Glitzy) Lyrics – Penelope Scott
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 you want me to say
Tell me fast r ’cause you’re running out of time
I want d 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
Because with god as my witness (with god as my witness!)
You corporate *** prick (you corporate *** prick)
I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil’s *** (I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil’s ***!)
I *** helped people
I did my best to save the sick
God as my witness
I won’t suck the devil’s ***
I won’t
I made it though all four years
And then almost a decade more
I asked the right questions
And 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?
Oh I can say
It was the government
The companies, bureaucracy
The congressmen, the lobbyists, and lies
It trickled into both my ears
It got louder over the years
Until all that I could hear were *** flies
People die every day
I wouldn’t have it any other way
I just think they should feel okay while they’re alive
How could they ever feel okay
When things are more and more this way?
Sometimes it’s like they’d rather die
But I *** helped people
I tried my best to save the sick
And if it’s all the same to you
There’s one more thing I’ve gotta do
Because with god as my witness
You corporate *** prick
I did not become a doctor for this
I wanted to help people
I did my best to save the sick
With god as my witness
I did not go to med school for this
I *** helped people
I did my best to save the sick
With god as my witness
I won’t suck the devil’s ***
I wanted to help people
I did my best to save the sick
With god as my witness
I did not get through med school for this
I wanted to help people
I did my best
