Monster Hospital Lyrics

Cover art for Monster Hospital lyrics by Metric

This is a modern day update on the Bobby Fuller song "I Fought the Law" (also covered by the Clash). It seems that Bobby Fuller's rebel character has been transformed into a downtrodden soldier doing the dirty work and killing in the name of god but really just to fill the pockets of Daddy Warbucks.

The lyrics are full of irony, e.g., "The war won't stop for the love of god." However, the irony in the chorus line "but the war won" is very depressing.
