Help me I think I'm dying
Says the old man to my face
He sees how hard I'm tryin'
But he knows he's lost his race
And help me screams the mother
With the child in her arms
The cancer has a hunger
And I can't undo its harms

To survive
I will survive
Just shut my eyes
And do the Secret Doctor Dance

Help me says the young boy
Bloods and Crypts try to stay alive
And help me plead the eyes
Of the rape that's just arrived
And help me says the addict
Who's tryin' to be free
And help me says the family
That I love but never see

To survive
I will survive
Just shut my eyes
And do the Secret Doctor Dance

Mommy I'm scared
Doctor as hospital administrator it is my duty to inform you that patient stay
is entirely to long. It is compromising our profit margin. You act as if
these people are sick.
Doctor it hurts. Do something.
Doctor we are here from the government to examine you and your records. Please
comply immediately. No excuse will be acceptable.
Doctor don't let him die. Please don't let him die.
Hi I'm Willie Slick from KLIE TV NEWS. Tonight's top story, doctors guilty of
crime, greed, and corruption. Details at 11:00.
Doc, it's my heart. I can't breathe.
I'm Mr. No Conscience from the firm Greedy, Gutless, and Lie. I'll help you
litigate, for a price.

Help me
The government is lying in the things they say
Who helps the secret doctor?
The media is lying in the things they say
Help me
The bureaucrats are lying in the things they say
Who helps the secret doctor?
The Clinton's are both lying in the things they say
