Poor Man's Physician

Working like a maniac
Must of finally broke my back
Found me laying in a heap
I guess I need to get some sleep

Suppose I should take a pill
I can’t afford the doctor’s bill
I’m gonna have to go through hell
Find a way to get me well

Can you understand my position
I’ve been out of commission
When I do the addition
I need a poor man’s physician

I don’t believe in superstition
I don’t need a magician
Until I’m back in remission
I need a poor man’s physician
I’m a poor man.

Bills are coming every day
Wish that they would go away
People call me on the phone
I pretend that I’m not home

My friends they all been comin round
To watch me laying on the ground
Trying all of their advice
Pains too bad to treat them nice

’ve been feeling obsolete
Can’t wait to get on my feet
I don’t need to see some quack
To monday morning quarterback

A week of rest is all I need
And maybe just a little weed
Extra pain pills from a friend
Get me through until the end
