NOT MY CIRCUS

 
 Away from the city
 In a small country town
 Right up in the cape
 A hospital LIES
 I went there to nurse
 It was my final escape

There was an old lady
 Her smile like acid
 She was the NUM
 Her demeanor far from
 Placid; her favourite
 A gay AIN

This one male nurse
 again drunk & stoned
 A big lazy bully
 Struck off the list to be cloned
 He'd sit outside with another nurse
 Smoking & gossiping
 While I did the work
 He touched us in the naughty places
 He said vile things
 & denied it all
 Lying straight to their faces

I will not forget my treatment there
 Bullied Abused Touched Depressed
 DEEP DARK DISPARE
 I cried out for help but no-one seemed
 To care

She fired me and lied that witch
 I sank deep down low
 Into a ditch
 What would I do?
 Where would I go?
 People will gossip
 The truth-
 They don't know....

I'm healthy now strong & proud
 I DID NO WRONG
 I won't leave town
 This place right here a circus
 & you're the clown
 if you truly believe
 I will back down.

Come one, Come all, Gather Round!
