lyrics

Diagnosis, tits on a mule. worthless!
Wooden nickels will purchase products placed in a bunch of false advertisements.
They'll treat symptoms that you don't even have.

This is not a cure for the common cold,
It's just the best thing
That they know your money will buy.
And I'm sold!
I'm sold out and I don't have any plan to buy back in again.

I'm not kidding it's a circle system spinning spitting pennies at the many medicinal maladies that we're faced with;
Bigger than life, bigger than life.
Now they'll put plenty into this and that and toss money at the fat cat rolling out the fully loaded sled.
A harelipped monument, circle what's wrong with it,
I just don't suggest getting sick in America.

Don't dance the waltz
Unless your talk is chalk white, toned and tempered.
Oh no, we invented the wheel.
