[Verse 1]
The dripping blood
The open wound
The blurred vision
The hours waiting
So many are even worse
There is no cure, no remedy

[Chorus]
There's no remedy!
At the hospital we're hostages
Of public money we're hostages
Hospital! Hostages!
Hospital! Hostages!

[Verse 2]
The dripping blood
Pain dominating
Throbbing and constant
Strewn through the aisle
Neglect, contempt
Suffering, torture!

[Chorus]
There's no remedy!
At the hospital we're hostages
Of the government we're hostages
Hospital! Hostages!
Hospital! Hostages!
