State Inspector - State Radio

«Let me share the reason of your lecture for a change

Let me tell you how you’ll feel

Let me strap you down and put morphine in your veins

Let me share this bed of steel

Cause here come the state inspector

So doctor all the resident records

Truth is he really don’t care less

It’s just a function of the politics and business

Oh the squalor, Oh the squalor

Let it empty me

Welcome to whatever God may do

It’s no secret that you’ll never leave

Woah.

woah… woahh

Cause here comes the state inspector

So doctor all the resident records

Truth is he really don’t care less

It’s just a function of the politics and business

Deinstitutionalization

Had a wife but left her at the station

And there’s women in the stair wells

When their love lives don’t fair well

Whoring themselves away in the kitchen

But look see that woman gettin all dressed up

Putting on her earrings and her makeup

And in another world there’s a lonely girl

Who’s wishing she’d never been a grown up

Oh the squalor… Oh the squalor

Let it empty me

Welcome to whatever God may do

It’s no secret that you’ll never leave

Maybe today I won’t get the wrong meds

And maybe today I’ll get my fourty six cents

And maybe today I’ll jump that barbed wired fence

And leave this place altogether

Cause we’re calling all the President’s men

And we’ll shove him in his room, locked in

Won’t you do me a favor and give me ten

So I can peek into the hallway again

Oh the squalor… Oh the squalor

Let it empty me

Welcome to whatever god may do

It’s no secret you’ll never leave"
