Title:
Block Five
Structured and individualized
Clinically clinical
Drop in to die here
Try not to be cynical
We all age
Aging body, aging mind
Fragility, depression
Book in for half a day
We’ll solve your aggression
One less thing to worry about
Partial hospitalization programs
Getting to grips
No problem enrolling
Reserve your feed drips
Eat well
Psychiatry thrown in
At this price that’s cheap
Pay by installments
Trade in your jeep
Nowhere else to go these days
We’re here to please
We’ll help you to stand
Impatient inpatients
can pay ninety grand
For less
Hey and we’ll all smile
As they wheel you in
Shake hands with your comrades
Their skin has worn thin
Knuckle busters
Put on your gown now
You sure look the part
We’ll stick in a needle
And steal your warm heart
Bless
Structured and individualized
Clinically clinical
Drop in to die here
Try not to be cynical
