Jack Stafford - Doctors Unite Lyrics

We need the doctors to lead the fight
We need the doctors to combine their might
We need the doctors to lead every campaign

We need the doctors to take this on
We need the doctors to be strong
We need the doctors to stand up in our name

Obesity is killing people
It's an epidemic
Heart disease is deadly
And it's become endemic

Who can end the nightmare
What can stop the pain?
Dieticians? Or marketing campaigns?
No, the remedy is Universal
Doctors unite

Doctors are stressed to breaking
By unnecessary work
Tied down to their keyboards
They are data entry clerks

Who can end the nightmare?
What can stop the pain?
Medical Administrators, this is their terrain
No, the remedy is Universal
Doctors unite

We need the doctors to lead the fight
We need the doctors to combine their might
We need the doctors to lead every campaign

We need the doctors to take this on
We need the doctors to be strong
We need the doctors to stand up in our name

There are so many issues
So many fights
From inequality to poverty
Don't mention gun rights

But if one million doctors
Were together in one lane
Imagine their power
How much they could change

Opioids are overused
A crisis now exists
Doctors serve as drug dispensers
For big pharma lobbyists

Who can end the nightmare?
What can stop the pain?
Possibly new legislation? Or something in that vein?
No, the remedy is Universal
Doctors unite

We need the doctors to lead the fight
We need the doctors to combine their might
We need the doctors to lead every campaign

We need the doctors to take this on
We need the doctors to be strong
We need the doctors to stand up in our name

We need the doctors to unite
We need the doctors to aim a strike
We need the doctors to get us out of this

The remedy is Universal
Doctors unite
