Medicine Man Songtext

We look at the tableAnd we look at the timeWe see a short fuse burningWe're standing on a land mineYou look at the cold soupI look at the grey wallI see a red flag burningYeah, man we need a Santa ClausDown on the homeless avenueDown among the rocks and stonesThe cradle falls but the buck stops hereLet's think about their hearts and bonesAnd we all need a medicine manAll need a medicine manDon't we need a medicine manHis shake and his rattle and his helping handSee the meat of a nationOn the back of a truckI think we're waste in a dumpsterHey sorry kid it's tough luckShe was adorableAnd he was a good boyThey were inseparableYeah bitten by the cold warRags on the shapes of millionsTears among the cuts and blowsThe backbone snaps and the kids can't danceLet's think about their hearts and bones
