We look at the table
And we look at the time
We see a short fuse burning
We´re standing on a land mine

You look at the cold soup
I look at the grey wall
I see a red flag burning
Yeah, man we need a Santa Claus

Down on the homeless avenue
Down among the rocks and stones
The cradle falls but the buck stops here
Let´s think about their hearts and bones

chorus
And we all need a medicine man
All need a medicine man
Don´t we need a medicine man
His shaker and his rattle and his helping hand

See the meat of a nation
On the back of a truck
I think we´re waste in a dumpster
Hey sorry kid it´s tough luck

She was adorable
And he was a good boy
They were inseparable
Yeah bitten by the cold war

Rags on the shapes of millions
Tears among the cuts and blows
The backbone snaps and the kids can´t dance
Let´s think about their hearts and bones

[repeat chorus]

[repeat chorus]
