Medicine Man Lyrics - Elton John

We look at the table 

And we look at the time 

We see a short fuse burning 

We're standing on a land mine 

You look at the cold soup 

I look at the gray wall 

I see a red flag burning 

Yeah, man we need a Santa Claus 

Down on the homeless avenue 

Down among the rocks and stones 

The cradle falls but the buck stops here 

Let's think about their hearts and bones

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And we all need a medicine man 

All need a medicine man 

Don't we need a medicine man? 

His shake and his rattle and his helping hand? 

See the meat of a nation 

On the back of a truck 

I think we're waste in a dumpster 

Hey, sorry kid, it's tough luck 

She was adorable 

And he was a good boy 

They were inseparable 

Yeah, bitten by the cold war 

Rags on the shapes of millions 

Tears among the cuts and blows 

The backbone snaps and the kids can't dance 

Let's think about their hearts and bones
