part i
death death
death death neglect
*
part ii
no insurance no money
*
part iii
duct tape the damage
too many bills
healing takes dollars
*
part iv
repeat one to three
keep going
no time to break curses
*
time heals
but we sold all our hours
discounted to bosses
no other option
*
if you want to get better
in america
you better pay
*
if you want to breathe
you better deserve it
*

I have Mars in Aries in my chart, so you can probably blame that.
