There's a stench of disenchantment as you walk into the ward
Everybody in a bed is nearly dead or just dead bored
Not much you can do when you are plugged in by a cord
Keeping out the cupboard where the body bags are stored
They've drained off several litres but they need a couple more
Wondering will this ever end and will they ever find a cure
Even if they did would they release it to the poor?
You know that you can never be sure
As long as you're still standing
I'll hold your hand while they play God
As long as there's still life left
Just hold your breath and let's play God
All the coughing and wheezing from the lady to the right
Combined with constant sounds of beeping means no sleeping in the night
Close your eyes for too long you will give someone a fright
Just make sure you stay out the light
As long as you're still standing
I'll hold your hand while they play God
As long as there's still life left
Just hold your breath and let's play God
As long as you're still standing
I'll hold your hand while they play God
As long as there's still life left
Just hold your breath and let's play God
