I've had back pain for most of my life

And the most I ever did was see the duck

And the duck told me 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 pice of paper out wiyh different questions all above

My health, wellbeing and the state of my life

I'll tell 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 it 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 to tell me something nice

He wanted to know 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 more you should address

"I see some anger in you, plus addiction, plus the rest"

"I feel like we should speak about this before 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 don't understand man my back just ****ing hurts"

Do I need physiotherapy or is it something worse?

He paused an then he asked me "Well, I thought we should do"

I said "If I knew that then you 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 at this point the doctor left

And I resented that man, I never went back to him again

Well 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 Mr. Doctor man for being sincere

I- I guess I just didn't wanna hear what I wanna hear, okay
