State Inspector

Let me share the reason of your lecture for a change

Let me show you how we'll feel

Let me strap you down and put morphine in your veins

Let me share this bit of steel.

'Cause here come the state inspector

Doctored all the resident record

Truth is he really couldn't care less

It's just a function of the politics and business

Oh the squalor, oh the squalor

Let it empty me

If you ask your head

Then we've got your bed

It's no secret that you'll never leave

'Cause here comes that state inspector

Doctored all the resident record

Truth is he really doesn't care less

It's just a function of the politics and business

Deinstitutionalization

Had a wife but left her at the station

And there's women in the stair wells

When their love lives don't fair well

Whoring themselves away in the kitchen

But look she that women get dressed up

Put on her earrings and makeup

Oh and in another world

There's a long necked girl

That wishing she never been a grown up

Oh the squalor, oh the squalor

Let it empty me

Welcome to whatever god made do

It's no secret you'll never leave

Maybe today I won't get the wrong meds,

And maybe today I'll get my forty six cents

And maybe today I'll jump that barbed wired fence

And leave this place altogether

'Cause here come the state inspector

Doctored all the resident records

Truth is he really don''t care less

It's just a function of the politics and business

'Cause we're calling all the presidents men

Cause I showed him this room locks in

Do me a favour, won't you give me ten

So I can peek into the hallway again.

Oh the squalor, oh the squalor

Let it empty me

Welcome to whatever god made do

It's no secret you'll never leave
