A slip and fall maybe break an arm 
you know nothing about the fact that you're in pain and alarmed
you go to see a doctor he fixes you and your'e on
your merry way that very day like nothing is wrong
and there is no way in hell you could have fixed it by yourself
you have health insurance so you're happy for the help
trust that the dock knows what's best for the future
when it breaks he resets it when it splits there is a suture
who could blame you for giving up on your health care
it's your safety you need it but they treated like welfare
scenario B see a man snatch a purse he runs down the street but passes by you first
 in his free hand you notice he is holding a knife
so you think it's only money and I value my life
but being a good citizen you figure that the least
you could do is get out your phone call up the police
 it's a nice neighborhood so the cops are on the scene
 in time to bust the villain and promptly restore peace
 trust that the officer knows right from wrong
 giving up a little freedom thinking it's how it belongs

all I'm saying is it's not that simple still
all I’m saying is its not that simple still 
all I’m saying is it’s not that simple
the grey space between the great space we built

scenario C you're feeling a bit under the weather
not quite sick but thinking safe is always better
 so the P.h.d relates the
 symptoms as a freeway need
for three day implements the doctor's greed
that pushes these prescriptions
at the cost of the processing equipment
next thing you know you're crazy as Sally Fields
you trust that the pros know best how to heal
when left to the hands of professionals you yield
your agency over I attempt to make appeal
 scenario D
you are standing on a street
minding your own business assuming you are free
to mind your own business believe what you believe
but the owner of this business doesn't need to agree he
owns where you live this makes you property
plus he's got the cops to come and stop and seize
you resist, pistols whipped, you're on your knees
all of this for the sake of keeping the peace
it's a thin line connecting protection to oppression
when left to those who know best it's best to just accept it

We are so quick to assume others know what’s best for us
like we wrote that tune but don’t sing our own chorus
its a scary prospect caring for community
saying “they should have known better” is not immunity
so quick to blame the ominous vague them 
we’re all in this together so we better make amends
if you want something done right, do it yourself 
they said that they knew better we could really use their help
