Placebo Effect ( second version )

Plants in the " audience "
are yielding bitter fruits,
Not real doctors, nor reform
the bitter pill of truths,
Never prescribed nor taken
by those who needle in,
Instead they make ready the i.v. drip
that they try to push under our skin...
Cannot find a parking spot
from all the Canadian plates,
They will pay cash in hand
for what we now debate,
X-Rays, and clinic needs
they are on a list so long,
They closed the clinics that day
to keep the budget " strong "
Health care reform is a catchy tune
coming to an election real soon
( chorus )
Sugar pills and useless bills
such catch-praises they use,
They want amputations of our frustrations
putting a scalpal to the truth,
Cannot see my doctor
they're becoming a specialist,
The lawyers are here again
the lawsuits do persist,
Insurance, are those who can afford
to line their treasure chests,
" Enlightened " politicians posture
then in insurance inc. invest,
Here we go on the i.v. still
not tripping, nor will I take that bitter pill
( chorus )
Sugar pills and couterproductive bills
such catch-praises can confuse,
They want amputations of our frustrations
putting a scalpal to the truth,
( chorus )
Sugar pills and counterfit bills
such catch-praises they abuse,
They want amputations of our frustrations
putting a scalpal to the truth.
