Deductibles
[Verse 1]
I’m tired
I can’t sleep
I got pain in my back
I got pain in my knees
And still, they’re trying to make a profit off of me
[Verse 2]
I been poor
I’m run down
Life’s been hard
It’s getting harder now
And still, they’re trying to make a profit off of me
[Chorus]
With all this talk about deductibles, deductibles
The goddamned deductible
It’s more than I'll make in a four months' time
Maybe I could come closer to affording the deductible
If my monthly premiums weren’t so damn high
So damn high
So damn high
Well, I ain't a mathematician
But I been crunching numbers
And the math ain't working out
But maybe that's why you're worth a hundred billion
And I'm living hand to mouth
[Verse 3]
Well, the first doctor came to see mе
He's in my network
Okay, I guess hе's free
But just wait
'Cause they're gonna make a profit off of me
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah, see the secretary who checked me in
She ain’t covered
And neither is this chair I’m sitting in?
Oh, or this pen?
Now they’ll make a profit off of me
[Chorus]
With all this talk about deductibles, deductibles
The goddamned deductible
It’s more than I'll make in a four months' time
Maybe I could come closer to affording the deductible
If my monthly premiums weren’t so damn high
So damn high
So damn high
Well, I ain't a mathematician
But I been crunching numbers
And the math ain't working out
But maybe that's why you're worth a hundred billion
And I'm living hand to mouth
[Verse 5]
Yes,insurance companies are the scum of the land
They’ll let you die right in their hands
Universal healthcare, that's a right of man
Until then it will always be
Just some billionaires trying to make a profit off of me
[Chorus]
With all this talk about deductibles, deductibles
The goddamned deductible
It’s more than I'll make in a four months' time
Maybe I could come closer to affording the deductible
If my monthly premiums weren’t so damn high
So damn high
So damn high
Well, I ain't a mathematician
But I been crunching numbers
And the math ain't working out
But maybe that's why you're worth a hundred billion
And I'm living hand to mouth
[Outro]
Maybe that's why you're worth literally a hundred billion American dollars
While I'm living hand to mouth
