Nameless
Look at these nameless faces Driving through nameless places Going out to their homes on a nameless street and…
See their nameless dogs go out into their nameless neighbor’s yard To steal the nameless papers for their owners to read and… Look at the nameless schools, still teaching about nameless fools and going over social tools they think kids might need but… Past the nameless restaurant, next to the bar around the block you’ll find the nameless hospital that not all can reach and…
CHORUS:
Through the double doors ahead, you see them standing in line while some nameless company steals their hard-earned dime. The cure to their grief is two doors on the left but the money they need is more than they’ll ever get …Oh, doctor. Can you help Jane and John Doe?
Look at these passersby reading all the wordy signs
Selling them a pill to help them go to sleep ’cause You know if they stay awake, they’ll realize it’s a big mistake to keep on hiding symptoms of a social disease! And take little Johnny Doe, who can’t sit still when he’s indoors, ’cause all he wants is to be on the baseball field… well, clearly he’s sick you see because he hates geometry! But two of these and he’ll be just as quiet as Janie
CHORUS:
Through the double doors ahead, you see them standing in line While some nameless company steals their hard-earned dime The cure to their grief is two doors on the left but The money they need is more than they’ll ever get
Oh, doctor. Can you help Jane and John Doe? They’re the nameless patients in the third row When the choice is life or a tag on their toe They didn’t know that HELL was spelled H-M-O
You look a bit upset… I didn’t mean to get you down Must be your conscience…. Or that flu going ‘round Oh doctor. Can you help Jane and John Doe?
