Stay Sick - SMP

White walls, a tapestry

Germfest, his majesty

O.R.

procedure’s going right

A sponge on the brow

I’m cutting deeper now

That’s life spilling on the knife

It seems this patient’s lost the will to live

It’s such a mess, we must request

You hang on in there with your suffering

And by all means

Stay sick

This god complex, it don’t come cheap

So stay sick

This golden temple ain’t made of bricks

Brain bug, psychiatry

Depression, anxiety

Tell me, doctor, what’s the deal?

Is it life I suffer from?

A post-war urban condition

A world gone mad, grinding me to kneel

The TV tells me what I need within

Here’s side effects, a crutch to rest

Just eat your crap and take your medicine

And by all means

Stay sick

This god complex, it don’t come cheap

So stay sick

This golden temple ain’t made of bricks

The FDA, the AMA, your Senator, your Congressman

Don’t think they’re looking out for you

The COBRA plan, insurance scam, Medicaid, well, I’ll be damned

Denying claims is what they’re paid to do

Now I just want to die with dignity

But suicide don’t cost a fee, that pre-existing suffering

Is what our system spins to yarns of gold

So stay sick

This god complex, it don’t come cheap

So stay sick

This golden temple ain’t made of bricks

So stay sick

This god complex, it don’t come cheap

So stay sick

This golden temple ain’t made of bricks

So stay sick

This god complex, it don’t come cheap

So stay sick

This golden temple ain’t made of bricks

So stay
