Version 1
[Verse 1]
Em
When I was seven years old
G
I saw a dead man in the road
D
Outside the liquor store
G
A few blocks from my school
Em
Well he was cold and he was warm
G
He looked the damn same as before
D
Except for something in the eyes
G
And a bit of drool
[Chorus]
C D
Well people die every day
G B Em
I wouldn't have it any other way
C B
I just think they should feel good while they are alive
C D
I went to school I got good grades
B B Em
I don't know you want me to say
C D G
Tell me faster 'cause you're running out of time
C D G Em
I wanted to help people
C D Em E
I thought that I could save the sick
C D
And if it's all the same to you
B B Em
There's one more thing I gotta do
C
Because with god as my witness
You corporate fucking prick
D B Em
I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil's dick
[Verse 2]
Em
I made it through all four years
G
And then almost a decade more
D
I asked the right questions
G
And never even really got bored
Em
They hired me in my hometown
G
And then again when I moved away
D
People liked me back then
G
What can I say?
[Verse 3]
Em
It was the government
G
The companies, bureaucracy
D G
The lobbyists, the congressmen, and lies
Em
They trickled into both my ears
G
And got louder over the years
D G
Until all that I could hear was fucking flies
[Chorus]
C D
Well people die every day
G B Em
I wouldn't have it any other way
C B
I just think they should feel okay while they're alive
C D
How could they ever feel okay
B B Em
When things are more and more this way?
C D G
Sometimes it's like they'd rather die
C D G Em
I fucking helped people
C D Em E
I thought that I could do the trick
C D
And if it's all the same to you
B B Em
There's one more thing I got to do
C
Because with god as my witness
You corporate piece of shit
D B Em
I did not become a doctor just to suck the devil's dick
