Let me share the reason of your lecture for a change   Let me tell you how you'll feel   Let me strap you down and put morphine in your veins   Let me share this bed of steel      Cause here come the state inspector   So doctor all the resident records   Truth is he really don't care less   It's just a function of the politics and business      Oh the squalor, Oh the squalor   Let it empty me   Welcome to whatever God may do   It's no secret that you'll never leave      woah. woah...woahh      Cause here comes the state inspector   So doctor all the resident records   Truth is he really don'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 fare well   Whoring themselves away in the kitchen      But look see that woman gettin all dressed up   Putting on her earrings and her makeup   And in another world there's a lonely girl   Who's wishing she'd never been a grown up      Oh the squalor...Oh the squalor   Let it empty me   Welcome to whatever God may do   It's no secret that you'll never leave      Maybe today I won't get the wrong meds,   And maybe today I'll get my fourty six cents   And maybe today I'll jump that barbed wired fence   And leave this place altogether      Cause we're calling all the President's men   And we'll shove him in his room, locked in   Won't you do me a favor and 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 may do   It's no secret you'll never leave
