Kayak - Fresh Air, Running Water, Rose Pills lyrics

(Nostradamus) I've seen cities in a hopeless light Fithy, foul and silent Children feverish and frightened The disease at its desperate height The plague was raging virulently Spreading fast and violently So when my help was called upon I did what could be done Fresh air, runnig water, rose pills Are clearly displaying my sk**s Keeping d**h at distance Even if you doubt or disagree You must admit that My remedies did that Poor man's medication is just hope and pray And I aim to cure but won't refuse a decent pay I've seen bodies polluting the streets Being dumped into the river Men so badly disfigured Women wrapped in white winding sheets The plague was raging virulently Spreading fast and violently An almost unwinnable war How I wish that I could have done more But fresh air, running water, rose pills Are clearly not paying the bills The road to independance Isn't paved with generosity I'll be serving the wealthy The rich but unhealthy By gold and pearls in ointments, cures for each disease Beauty in a bottle, but no garantees
