Anaesthetist Lyrics

[Intro]
Anaesthetist
Anaesthetist

[Chorus]
Doctor, fetch the Anaesthetist (Anaesthetist)
Fetch the Anaesthetist
I want to go under the knife, I believe in this

Fetch the Anaesthetist (Anaesthetist)
Fetch the Anaesthetist
I want to go under the knife, I believe!

[Verse 1]
You fucking spanner!
Just a cog in the industrial complex
You shed your blood for the conflicted

You parasite!
You're playing God and you don't care who it affects
You suck the blood of the afflicted
You suck the blood of the afflicted

[Verse 2]
Illness is not an indulgence which you should pay for
Nor is it a crime for which you should be punished
For this conviction I would endanger my health
"Shut it! Oi!"

Just consume, crave riches, and lust for fame
No, you won't see us participating in that game
Keep your twisted take on success
'Cause all I really want is what's beating in your chest

[Chorus]
Doctor, fetch the Anaesthetist (Anaesthetist)
Fetch the Anaesthetist
I want to go under the knife, I believe in this

Fetch the Anaesthetist (Anaesthetist)
Fetch the Anaesthetist
I want to go under the knife, I believe!

[Verse 3]
We drink to your health
But just to inform, this round's on you
And every day you roll the dice

We drink to your health
We capitalise on your condition
Bad luck? You pay the price!
Bad luck? You pay the price

[Outro]
Fetch the Anaesthetist (Anaesthetist)
Fetch the Anaesthetist
I wanna go under the knife I believe in this

You sold us short!
You will not profit off our health!
Step the fuck back!

What did Enter Shikari say about "Anaesthetist"?

This is another frank and direct song. It’s about the current trend of wanting to privatise healthcare, and the dangers of doing that and the damage it will cause, and wanting to fight against it. It wasn’t on the original Mindsweep track listing when we were about halfway through the recording proc...
