Testi Medicine Man - Elton John

Medicine Man

We look at the table\nAnd we look at the time\nWe see a short fuse burning\nWe’re standing on a land mine\nYou look at the cold soup\nI look at the grey wall\nI see a red flag burning\nYeah, man we need a Santa Claus\nDown on the homeless avenue\nDown among the rocks and stones\nThe cradle falls but the buck stops here\nLet’s think about their hearts and bones\nAnd we all need a medicine man\nAll need a medicine man\nDon’t we need a medicine man\nHis shake and his rattle and his helping hand\nSee the meat of a nation\nOn the back of a truck\nI think we’re waste in a dumpster\nHey sorry kid it’s tough luck\nShe was adorable\nAnd he was a good boy\nThey were inseparable\nYeah bitten by the cold war\nRags on the shapes of millions\nTears among the cuts and blows\nThe backbone snaps and the kids can’t dance
