American Healthcare: Early Draft Lyrics by Penelope Scott

Soundcloud demos (Penelope scott)

2019

[Verse 1]
When I was seven years old
I saw a dead man in the road (Dead man in the road)
Outside the liquor store a few blocks from my school (The liquor store a few blocks from my school)
Well he was cold and he was warm (Well he was cold and he was warm)
He looked the damn same as before (Damn same as before)
Except for something in the eyes and a bit of drool (Something in the eyes and a bit of drool)
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, people die every day (Die every day)
I wouldn't have it any other way (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
But tell me faster 'cause you're running out of time (Running out of time)
[Chorus]
I wanted 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 (God as my witness)
You corporate fucking prick (You corporate fucking prick)
I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil's dick (Just to suck the devil's dick)
[Verse 2]
I made it though all four years
And then almost a decade more
I asked the right questions, I never even really got bored (I never even really got bored)
They hired me in my hometown (They hired me in my hometown)
And then again when I moved away (And then again when I moved away)
People liked me back then, what can I say? (Can I say)
[Verse 3]
I can say it was the government
The companies, bureaucracy
The lobbyists, the congressmen, and lies
It trickled into both my ears (It trickled)
It got louder over the years
Until all that I could hear were fucking flies
[Pre-Chorus]
Well people die every day (Die every day)
I wouldn't have it any other way (Have it any other way)
I just think they should feel okay while they're alive (They should feel okay)
How could they ever feel okay
When things are more and more this way? (More and more this way)
Sometimes it's like they'd rather die
[Chorus]
But I fucking helped people
I did my best to do the trick (Best to do the trick)
And if it's all the same to you (All the same to you)
There's one more thing I've gotta do (Thing I've gotta do)
Because with God as my witness
You corporate fucking prick
I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil's dick
