This song is about the lack of health care system in America. I feel Ted's pain and anguish in the words and sounds expressed. He's screaming out for you, America. "You're in trouble! Trouble! Trouble!"
You borrow time 'til you are hurt. You borrow without medical insurance to INSURE that if something happens to you, your fellow citizens and government care enough for you to provide for you. Or you borrow lifetime working away for insurance IN CASE something ever happens.
Ted is a very healthy, loving, spiritual vegan. He has no health insurance. He walks a line, banking on the fact that he'll be fine.
Others DO NOT fare so well.
Ted knows.
Ted cares.
I care.
Do you?
Who does?
Does the money-machine: Coca-Cola? Cancer Institutes? McDonald's? Meat factories? Kaiser PERMANENTe? Permanent. Permanent. Permanent pain, suffering, and confusion over dis-ease and a human being's right to BE. How to be? How to be healthy.
C.D.C. abbreviates Centers for Disease Control. They spread vicious fear-striking rumours, by way of their friends at the press.
The N.I.H. (National Institutes of Health) won't stand aggressively against the corporate machine either. They're just running scared.
The A.M.A. (American Medical ASSociation) could give a f*** less about you, your seven prescription pills on average per day, being American, or the suffering you and yours will have. They will continue to be PAID for keeping you a sick CUSTOMER...because--after all--doctors need jobs, right?
What? No comments???!!! Blasphemy!
