Operation

(I need an)

Take me to a hospital
'Cause there's too much blood lost to tell
If I'll make it out alive
My body's got a war inside
The bossy nurse, I talked her
Into getting a new doctor
Someone who cares about me, makes sense
Someone with patience for his patients

I need an operation
Oh, Lord, please operate (I need an)
Operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong and my spirit's weak

I need a room for this emergency
The ER would suit me perfectly
With tubes and needles stuck into me
I'm on an envoy, turn inside the IV
I think my life just passed me by
Twenty years, an ugly sight
But God was there through thin and thick
But there's so much thin, it makes me sick

I need an operation
Oh, Lord, please operate (I need an)
Operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong and my spirit's weak

I need an operation
Oh, Lord, please operate (I need an)
Operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong and my spirit's weak

I need an operation
Oh, Lord, please operate, I need an
Operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong and my spirit's weak
