What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I have a complicated relationship with the distal portion
2
Of my large intestine, also known as the colon
3
I started feeling kinda shitty when I turned 23
4
And then the pain got worse and worse every day
5
And the days turned into weeks
6
I finally went to see the doctor and I pooped into a cup
7
And then a few weeks after that he stuck this camera up my butt
8
The camera was in a tube, and the tube pumped out air
9
So that my colon could inflate and they could look around in there
10
When I woke up the doctor was looking at my chart
11
I called his attention to me with a fifteen minute fart
12
He said "Son I hate to tell you cause I know you're not gonna like this
13
But they got a name for what you have and it's called ulcerative colitis
14
And in those seven syllables there's a mess of shitty news
15
It's likely that you've had your last healthy-feeling poos
16
It's like road rash on your colon, you'll bleed and it'll hurt
17
And no one knows what causes it and there is no cure
18
And yeah your chances of cancer have gone up a bit
19
But colon cancer's curable if you keep your eye on it
20
But mostly what will piss you off is how you're gonna pay
21
I know you're not insured and you'll probably stay that way
22
See insurance companies hate to deal with sick folks like you
23
They don't like taking money from folks they might have to give it back to
24
And your pills are gonna cost you both your arms and at least one leg
25
I suggest you go to Canada and get on your knees and beg
26
Because here the costs are as high as the market can bear
27
And they can bear a lot compared with soiled underwear"
28
I laid there on that bed and thought how I used to like to poo
29
I thought maybe there was a mistake, how could this be true
30
I asked the doctor, pleading, begging if he was really sure
31
And if he was how could it be that there really was no cure
32
"The only cure we have," he said, "is to take the whole thing out
33
And then to get your movements out we install a little spout"
34
I told him that I'd rather take a thousand thousand dollar pills
35
He agreed and sent me home with some similar sounding bills
36
Now really all I've learned, besides the importance of fiber
37
Is the health care system's more screwed up than a fifty year old Fred subscriber
