I'll say this. If any of those people represented in the ad exist, they can afford the medication that's being sold by the ad.

Those are the people who buy the things that people say "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" about.

You all forget, there's legions of people who are wealthy, but not the ultra rich. They bring in millions of dollars a year. Far more than you or I possibly could, but they're not notable because they're part of the 1% and the 0.1% are much much worse.

What they don't get, is that their wealth is closer to the bottom 99% than the top 0.1%. they should be on our side, but they won't get involved because they're a bunch of fence sitting assholes that just do enough to keep up their lifestyle, but not so much that anyone notices.

Lyrics:

spoilerPull the plug (x8)


I drove my truck into a moving van

It was all filled up with jet fuel and

I crashed right in and explosion

Smash through the window and ripped off my hands

Medical team drove up and found me

Bleeding in pieces picked up off the street

Drove me into a filthy hospital

Horror experienced financially

Woke up in pain in a gown in bed

Internal hemorrhaging inside my head

I really think that I should be dead

I saw the bill and then I cry bled

To keep me alive it is costing me

National deficit times three

There is no way to avoid this fee

Please pull the plug and kill me


It's costing too much

Pull the plug

It's costing too much

Pull the plug (x16)


Aneurysm

Botulism

Epilepsy

Narcolepsy

Pull the plug

Nearsighted

Breath lighted

Cataracts

Heart attacks

Pull the plug

Hepatitis

Bronchitis

Appendicitis

Arthritis

Pull the plug

Encephalitis

Adenitus

Mastoiditus

Capsulitus

Pull the plug now (x4)


Pay you my life instead of life support

Harvest my plasma because it's worth more

Take all my blood and my organs

Sell them to buyers over in third worlds

Burn my cadaver for some energy

Charge the patients in their misery

Such a strong quarter for the industry

Pharmaceutical fucking victory


Can't pay the price

Pull the plug

Pay with my life

Pull the plug

Say my farewell

Pull the plug

See you in hell

I'll fucking pull the plug
