Not That Simple

A slip and fall maybe break an arm you know nothing about the fact that you're in pain and alarmed you go to see a doctor he fixes you and your'e on your merry way that very day like nothing is wrong and there is no way in hell you could have fixed it by yourself you have health insurance so you're happy for the help trust that the dock knows what's best for the future when it breaks he resets it when it splits there is a suture who could blame you for giving up on your health care it's your safety you need it but they treated like welfare scenario B see a man snatch a purse he runs down the street but passes by you first in his free hand you notice he is holding a knife so you think it's only money and I value my life but being a good citizen you figure that the least you could do is get out your phone call up the police it's a nice neighborhood so the cops are on the scene in time to bust the villain and promptly restore peace trust that the officer knows right from wrong giving up a little freedom thinking it's how it belongs all I'm saying is it's not that simple still all I’m saying is its not that simple still all I’m saying is it’s not that simple the grey space between the great space we built scenario C you're feeling a bit under the weather not quite sick but thinking safe is always better so the P.h.d relates the symptoms as a freeway need for three day implements the doctor's greed that pushes these prescriptions at the cost of the processing equipment next thing you know you're crazy as Sally Fields you trust that the pros know best how to heal when left to the hands of professionals you yield your agency over I attempt to make appeal scenario D you are standing on a street minding your own business assuming you are free to mind your own business believe what you believe but the owner of this business doesn't need to agree he owns where you live this makes you property plus he's got the cops to come and stop and seize you resist, pistols whipped, you're on your knees all of this for the sake of keeping the peace it's a thin line connecting protection to oppression when left to those who know best it's best to just accept it We are so quick to assume others know what’s best for us like we wrote that tune but don’t sing our own chorus its a scary prospect caring for community saying “they should have known better” is not immunity so quick to blame the ominous vague them we’re all in this together so we better make amends if you want something done right, do it yourself they said that they knew better we could really use their help
