Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in 1990<br><br>We look at the table<br>And we look at the time<br>We see a short fuse burning<br>We're standing on a land mine<br><br>You look at the cold soup<br>I look at the grey wall<br>I see a red flag burning<br>Yeah, man we need a santa claus<br><br>Down on the homeless avenue<br>Down among the rocks and stones<br>The cradle falls but the buck stops here<br>Let's think about their hearts and bones<br><br>And we all need a medicine man<br>All need a medicine man<br>Don't we need a medicine man<br>His shake and his rattle and his helping hand<br><br>See the meat of a nation<br>On the back of a truck<br>I think we're waste in a dumpster<br>Hey sorry kid it's tough luck<br><br>She was adorable<br>And he was a good boy<br>They were inseparable<br>Yeah bitten by the cold war<br><br>Rags on the shapes of millions<br>Tears among the cuts and blows<br>The backbone snaps and the kids can't dance<br>Let's think about their hearts and bones
