Lyrics

Blessed be the doctor and blessed be the nurse
Blessed be the coachman who put me in the hearse
Blessed be the blessings and blessed be the curse

Rattled from the sediment
Old bones around the settlement
Tell who passed out the medicine
The dose was much too strong

He goes to bed bereft and berated
And rests his head in the hands of the over rated
Sweating bullets in the faculty lounge
Sensing treason they're not waiting around;
On the first bus out of town
They're playing movies that they've already seen

The jewelry advances as the gums recede
The devil goes out dancing on the angels perceived needs, please go easy on me

Cheap sex with a discount broker-
Cop's walkie-talkie squawks breaker-breaker
"We got to take her down to the station
She says that that broker broke her."

Read the text at the ticker tape parade-
The subtext is that someone's getting paid off
Check the checks at the ticker tape parade-
Pay stubs of the people who've been laid off

Insurance can't cover what the world's exposed-
Open nerves. touching toes to stretch
The a.c. made us retch
Can you conceive of working for the
Emperor's new clothes?

(Please go)
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
(Please go)
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
(Please go)
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
(Please go)
Please go easy on me!
