A&E

I took my wife to the A&E

It took all night just to be seen

She broke her leg and was in pain

The nurses looked completely drained

But nice as pie and so composed

How do they cope? It's hard to know

With violent men that hurl abuse

A daily battleground they never lose

Ooh, I'm no politician

Ooh, I can see something's wrong

It wouldn't hurt so much to give them more

It's got to be something worth fighting for

A stolen mind is hard to trace

A dose of drugs disguise the face

And any love behind the eyes

Is covered up when tranquilized

Mental health, our doctors know

Is underfunded and unexposed

When happiness is swallowed deep

Other distractions put our nation to sleep

Ooh, I'm no politician

Ooh, but I can see something's wrong

It wouldn't hurt so much to give them more

You criticize so that you can ignore

How hard they work and who they're working for

It's got to be something worth fighting for
