Penelope Scott - American healthcare

When I w^Emas seven years old I saw a dead^G man in the road Outside the li^Dquor store A few blocks from my s^Gchool

Well he was c^Emold and he was warm He looked the da^Gmn same as before Except for somet^Dhing in the eyes And a bit of dr^Gool

Well people d^Cie every d^Day I wouldn't ha^Gve it any ot^Bher w^Emay I just think th^Cey should feel good while they are al^Bive I went to sc^Chool I got good gr^Dades I don't k^Bnow you w^Bant me to ^Emsay Tell me fa^Cster 'cause you're r^Dunning out of ti^Gme

I wanted to he^Clp pe^Dople^{G Em} I thought that ^CI could sa^Dve the sic^Emk ^E And if it's a^Cll the same to y^Dou There's one more th^Bing I go^Btta ^Emdo Because with g^Cod as my witness

I did n^Dot become a doctor just to su^Bck the devil's di^Emck

I made it thr^Emough all four years And then al^Gmost a decade more I asked t^Dhe right questions And never e^Gven really got bored

They hire^Emd me in my hometown And th^Gen again when I moved away Peop^Dle liked me back then What ^Gcan I say?

It was th^Eme government The compan^Gies, bureaucracy The lobby^Dists, the congressmen, a^Gnd lies They tric^Emkled into both my ears And got loud^Ger over the years Until all t^Dhat I could hear was fucking fl^Gies

Well people d^Cie every d^Day I wouldn't ha^Gve it any ot^Bher w^Emay I just think th^Cey should feel okay while they're ali^Bve How could t^Chey ever feel^D okay When things a^Bre more and m^Bore this^Em way? Sometim^Ces it's like ^Dthey'd rather d^Gie

I fucking help^Ced p^Deopl^Ge ^Em I thought that ^CI could ^Ddo the tri^Emck ^E And if it's a^Cll the same to y^Dou There's one more thi^Bng I g^Bot to ^Emdo Because with g^Cod as my witness

I di^Dd not become a doctor just to su^Bck the devil's d^Emick
