lyrics
This system rotted and hollow,
Businessmen and their bottom line,
They only care about health or people,
When they’re connected to a dollar sign,
Come now let’s take a picture,
Post it up for the world to see,
Have marketing call them heroes,
Then turn their back when it comes to need,
Don’t pretend you care about people,
It’s bold and easy to read,
Don’t pretend you care about people,
Your heart is driven by greed,
Well that’s just the way we do things,
It’s the American way,
The rich get what they came for,
And the poor, well they can’t pay,
Where lives are nothing but numbers,
Red and green on computer screens,
Keep quiet and do what we tell you,
You’re just a gear in the money machine,
Don’t pretend you care about people,
It's bold and easy to read,
Don’t pretend you care about people,
Your heart is driven by greed,
Don’t pretend you care about people,
You don’t even know their names,
Don’t pretend you care about people,
Their lives are not a game,
Let’s reach out and help somebody,
Just not those from that zip code,
We need a return on investment,
We don’t make much down those roads,
That may seem like backwards thinking,
But this tree’s not rooted in health,
Dig deeper and tell me what you find,
The system is rooted in wealth,
Why do we burn out?
To care is inherently human,
To push profit from pain, inhumane,
The reason we help is to lift one another,
Which this system continues to feign,
To heal it reveals we are mortal,
We’re here a short time this you’ll find,
I want you to live out the most from your years,
May all your tomorrows be kind,
That’s why I’m here,
To see you through,
I’ll do my best,
To care for you,
We are all worthy of empathy,
And your health not contingent on wealth,
And respected as you, for we are all human,
No matter what hand society dealt.
To me it should be based on people,
At the heart this should guide what we do,
On the scale of life a soul weighs far more,
Than a fist full of dollars or two,
That’s why I’m here,
To see you through,
I’ll do my best,
To care for you.
I started writing music and playing with my brother back in the early 2010s. We formed the band, Alpaca De Beats in Arizona
where we grew up. In 2014 I moved to Wilmington, North Carolina where I wrote music as I practiced as a family Physician. I am now in Vancouver Washington where I do the same....more
