Lyrics Revenge - Loudon Wainwright III

Revenge

I want my revenge and I’ll get it too
There’ll be justice for me and satisfaction from you
Yeah, there’s an ambulance out there, paramedics inside
They know where you live, so are you ready to ride?
This city has many emergency rooms
When I get my revenge you’re gonna be in one soon
I haven’t forgotten what you did to me
No, you’re not off the hook, you won’t get off scot free
You better crawl under your cover, sucker, and pray for daylight
When you hear that siren scream out in the night
No, it’s not a fire and it’s not a cop
I spoke to the driver and he knows where to stop
Insensitive care in a ward that’s the worst
An incompetent doctor and a dangerous nurse
Tubes up your nose, an IV in your wrist
In pain and in traction on the critical list
Oh, you say you don’t have insurance, well they’re gonna take your last buck
Maybe you’ll die of a stroke of good luck
You made a mistake when messed with
You see, I got connections with the powers that be
Thomas Noguchi is gonna come on real strong
When they do that that autopsy on you and find out that nothing was wrong
Oh, but I’ll be sorry, I’ll be sorry you’re dead
I would have preferred that you live on and suffer instead
