Music by elton john Released as a uk bside in 1990 We look at the table And we look at the time We see a short fuse burning Were standing on a land mine You look at the cold soup I look at the grey wall I see a red flag burning Yeah, man we need a santa claus Down on the homeless avenue Down among the rocks and stones The cradle falls but the buck stops here Lets think about their hearts and bones And we all need a medicine man All need a medicine man Dont we need a medicine man His shake and his rattle and his helping hand See the meat of a nation On the back of a truck I think were waste in a dumpster Hey sorry kid its tough luck She was adorable And he was a good boy They were inseparable Yeah bitten by the cold war Rags on the shapes of millions Tears among the cuts and blows The backbone snaps and the kids cant dance Lets think about their hearts and bones
