From the hour we get to the hospital
And modern treatment has begun
There's more they can treat than they ever will treat
More to do than will ever be done

Gave me the wrong medication
They say I may not live
'Cause the doctors agreed in a mindless stampede
And they always take more than they give

In the circle of death
It's lots of misfortune
It's a lack of faith
It's a bunch of false hope
It's a big disgrace
Don't know what they're doing
It's a cycle, the circle of death

Most of us die on the inside
And some of us get drunk in bars
And some of us sue for our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take on here
More to fight than can ever be fought
No matter how hard they try, all their patients will die
Don't know what's wrong with what they were taught

In the circle of death
It's lots of misfortune
It's a lack of faith
It's a bunch of false hope
It's a big disgrace
Don't know what they're doing
It's a cycle, the circle of death

It's lots of misfortune
It's a lack of faith
It's a bunch of false hope
It's a big disgrace
Don't know what we're doing
It's a cycle, the circle of death

Don't know what they're doing
It's a cycle, the circle of death
