Wearing White Lyrics


Come out en masse, dance on the grass

And feel the sunlight on your skin

It's nothing but pure joy and love

And everything is colored green

My microscope and stethoscope

Will leave you greatly terrified

I'll check your gums, I'll check your lungs

I'm scary, and I'm wearing white

The sun is bright, you feel alright

I know exactly how it feels

But just your mood will do no good

You need your medicine and pills

Lives are at stake, I will not break

The Hippocratic Oath I gave

Bark from a tree and herbal tea

Will lead you straight into the grave

I smell your fear, and I feel tremors in your knees

And I can say in Latin the name of your disease

It’s all unnatural what we will do tonight

I smell of medicine, I stand here, wearing white

Forget your plans, I’ve got your scans

And I’m afraid I have bad news

You feel alright, but you will die

Unless we stuff you full of tubes

It will be worse, the choice is yours

The time is up, the stakes are high

But know: it's wrong to live too long

And it is natural to die

I smell your fear, and I feel tremors in your knees

And I can say in Latin the name of your disease

It’s all unnatural what we will do tonight

I smell of medicine, I stand here, wearing white

You will be cured by any means

Ignore your white coat phobia

The sterile tools and cold machines

Are coded as dystopia

Open your eyes - you could’ve died

Look at yourself - you are feeling alright

Now go and spread your insanity

Go on and preach your humanity

I smell your fear, and I feel tremors in your knees

And I can say in Latin the name of your disease

I could choose green, but I chose medicine instead

I’m wearing white because white goes best with red
