I woke up this morning and the pain was strong
Took some painkillers to start my day
Then told myself to've ignored this was wrong
Rang the dentist, said "Emergency"

It's more than a filling (more than a filling)
An impacted molar, I hear you say (more than a filling)
I begin screaming (more than a filling)
When I see the needle come my way
And then the good ol' drill comes into play

So many fillings have come and gone
Enamel fades as the years go by
The nicotine stains - they are just caked on
I think of the cost and I start to cry

It's more than a filling (more than a filling)
An impacted molar, I hear you say (more than a filling)
I begin screaming (more than a filling)
Cos' the terms for payment are today
I see my bank account ebbing away

Cavities from drinking Coke
I wish the tooth fairy was here today
Said "Dentures are what I want you know"
The dentist said "Are you sure you can pay?"
Hope you can pay

It's more than a filling (more than a filling)
An impacted molar, I hear you say (more than a filling)
I begin screaming (more than a filling)
When I see the needle come my way
You know that big ol' drill scared me away?
