Health Reform … is done
Here, but now it’s gone
Romeo and Juliet
Could not afford their sky-high premium
40,000 men and women every year
40,000 men and women every year
Come on baby … don’t fear the reaper
Baby take my hand … don’t fear the reaper
We’ll be able to die … don’t fear the reaper
Insurance companies, I’m your man …
