Glenn Case - Doctor Lyrics

A system to abuse
No one will suspect a thing
It's way past overdue
Another day of reckoning

Hear it on the wind
The sounds of change
But I won't be around
To see that day
Is there a Doctor in the house
The patient's bleeding out
Is there a Doctor in the house

Thinking nothing's wrong
Bliss in willful ignorance
You're guilty as your skin
Until proven innocent

Hear it on the wind
The sounds of change
But I won't be around
To see that day
Is there a Doctor in the house
Is there a Doctor in the house
Is there a Doctor in the house
The patient's bleeding out
Is there a Doctor in the house
Pay it no mind
Pay it no mind
Pay it no mind

I come from a place of privilege
So it's not my discussion
And I can't say a lot
It feels like I'm interrupting
I won't change any minds
But I'm sick of saying nothing
While the world burns down
But it's the world that we've been stuck in
There are some who abuse power positions
It's corruption
With a license to kill
And no fear of repercussions
They won't BE held accountable
So let me ask you something
Why WOULDN'T a racist sign up
When your function
Is to serve and PROTECT
Or NEGLECT when it's convenient
They can go for the NECK
And not SWEAT the intervening
No accountability
But I'm not giving up hope
I'm saying black lives matter
'Cause you act like they don't
And in conclusion there's no way
That I can say this correctly
I didn't say a thing because it didn't affect me
I didn't say a thing because it didn't affect me
I didn't say a thing because it didn't affect me directly
