Dr. John Lyrics
Truthdare Doubledare
Gotta be careful who I meet tonight
Put up the struggle, I'll put up the fight
Loving is different, so full of fear
Can't love you right, until the cure is here
It's physical breakdown
It's emotional blackmail
It's uncontrollable it affects us all
Here I am Dr John
Here I am do you know what to do
The papers report in the wrong way
Don't care what they say, they don't educate
People look on it with a different view
Can you help me, explain
Do you know what to do
Used to be careless and so carefree
That old life-style will be the death of me
Dreading the system in this modern age
It's killing our people, must try to be brave
There must be something we can do
It's catching up, breaking through
There falls a silence across our land
The situation's out of hand
The situation is out of hand
Do you know what to do
