Lyrics
We're the Health insurance industry; it's healing that we sell
We cash your check and take your cash while you are feeling well.
We promise you to pick up the tab if ever you get sick,
But when you do, we'll give to you the short end of the stick
It's true the bucks you pay create obscene amounts of wealth
But face it pal, we didn't start this business for your health
We satisfy the stockholders to whom we are beholden
And we don't pay for funerals, so Oh my God, we're GOLDEN!
CHORUS!!
You'll get your health care When we get our share,
you'll get no help till we get our bread
So stop resisting. we're pre-existing!
If you don't like it, you can drop dead
We know we have to word things so that we can't be maligned
Like Bush did with "The Patriot Act" and "No Child Left Behind"
And so we'll say the future of the uninsured will be:
They'll save a lot on premiums and then they'll be "life free."
The things they've said about us have just cut us like a knife
'Cause you know we're believers in the sacred right to life
We're working hard to guarantee a better world in which
We have the right to life for both the unborn and the rich
CHORUS!!
Folks tell us that the health care system is completely wrong
but since they have no cov'rage they won't gripe for very long
Just say you're devastated by their sad state of affairs
And since their coverage has lapsed, well, after all who cares?
Now forty seven million may seem like an awful lot
But if you use statistics, you can prove it's really not.
See, if you say sixteen per cent it seems like just a few
And you don't want to join them, if you know whats good for you!
CHORUS!!
We cash your check and take your cash while you are feeling well.
We promise you to pick up the tab if ever you get sick,
But when you do, we'll give to you the short end of the stick
It's true the bucks you pay create obscene amounts of wealth
But face it pal, we didn't start this business for your health
We satisfy the stockholders to whom we are beholden
And we don't pay for funerals, so Oh my God, we're GOLDEN!
CHORUS!!
You'll get your health care When we get our share,
you'll get no help till we get our bread
So stop resisting. we're pre-existing!
If you don't like it, you can drop dead
We know we have to word things so that we can't be maligned
Like Bush did with "The Patriot Act" and "No Child Left Behind"
And so we'll say the future of the uninsured will be:
They'll save a lot on premiums and then they'll be "life free."
The things they've said about us have just cut us like a knife
'Cause you know we're believers in the sacred right to life
We're working hard to guarantee a better world in which
We have the right to life for both the unborn and the rich
CHORUS!!
Folks tell us that the health care system is completely wrong
but since they have no cov'rage they won't gripe for very long
Just say you're devastated by their sad state of affairs
And since their coverage has lapsed, well, after all who cares?

But if you use statistics, you can prove it's really not.
See, if you say sixteen per cent it seems like just a few
And you don't want to join them, if you know whats good for you!

to see you back here after so long. I wondered where you'd got to, but just presumed the recent politics etc. were suiting you LOL(I Joke). I do love this kind of comedy, which puts me in mind of Flanders and Swann and a few others who are real entertainers. Here's hoping to hear more from you soon. Great stuff, regards M
