 I've had back pain for most of my life
 And the most I ever did was see the doc
 And the doc told me that my back was alright
 He had initials in his shirt
 He had a nice expensive watch
 I thought he knew what he was doing
 Or at least what was right
 He made me fill a piece of paper out
 With different questions all about
 My health, wellbeing and the state of my life
 I told the truth, I'm only lying to myself if I should lie
 So…
 I answered everything
 And did my best to keep it real in between the lines
 I gave it back to him, he took his time
 And read the paper over once or twice
 He looked at me as if to say
 "I need to tell you something
 And don't prepare for me to tell you something nice"
 He wanted to know just how much I tend to drink and smoke
 I told him how it was, and then he gave me this advice
 He said, "Ease up on stress
 You don't help yourself much
 It's too intense for you to take, you'll only tense up
 And you see you have these issues, and you struggle to relax
 So you come see me, the doctor, to get something for your back
 But this piece of paper tells me that there's more that you should address
 I see some anger in you, plus addiction, plus the rest
 Now I feel like we should speak about this, for it comes first
 And I know a lot of people who can help, for what it's worth.."
 I said
 "I don't know if you understand, man
 My back just ****ing hurts
 Do I need physiotherapy? Or is it something worse?"
 He paused and then he asked me what I thought we should do
 I said
 "If I knew that, I wouldn't be here, man, I'm asking you!"
 He handed me to someone who gave me a blood test
 Who handed me to someone else who took my payment
 And took all of my ****ing patience
 I should add, at this point the doctor had already left
 And I resented that man
 I never went back to him again
 But you know in a weird way, I feel like maybe he was right
 I may be using my back pain to distract from the pain of life
 Feel it all externally, when really it's just inside
 Procrastinating confrontation
 Every single time
 So...
 Thank you, Mister doctor man
 I'm now being sincere
 I guess I just didn't wanna hear what I didn't wanna hear, OK!
