lyrics
Who cares – when the mind is stripped bare – limited, by indifference / of fickle – social conditions like welfare, and access to health care / housing and education, hours spent slaving away for a wage underpaid like / who cares – when all that is left of your senses, worn and afraid / - this is mental health, time spent, distressed, anxious / and depressed – enemy / to the self, lost to the labour of wealth / resilience chained to a feeling that you are defective, dependent in bedlam and / at best – alone with self-harm, starved of affection / who cares – for survivors, in social stressful life crisis / when you can’t cope – and they said that your / heads not right – oppressed by increasing / threats – at the nexus – repetitive – stuck with an endless / suffering, right there, birth to death – still the question of who cares / I care, we care, your mind has every right to breathe / life like every night – endemic the / plight of a people, losing their mind / silence the guilt and regret, defending your head from the bleak that / seeps through economies built for elite – we do not see you as weak /
Recovery – comes at a price
Lost property – divisions of mind
Economy – not fit to provide
No stopping the – need to survive, freedom to / thrive
No care – from fractured services purpose built to earn big from the / mental health risk you present with – delayed, dismayed, waitlist / for days – your mind is for sale, subsidised, privatised diagnosed / and let go with a dosage of hope roped / in to reliance compliance you now know / - this is the industry – blaming the victim for pains in the / system built on the sickness of millions – inept mis-steps to fix the effects / of trauma and disconnection, no attempt to redress the / detention of minds, agency lost, fatally crushed from the weight of bureaucracy (recovery) / no care – for survivors – living life on the worry lines / forever deprived of mental well-being increasingly medicalised / - for the term of our natural lives, find worth as a means to survive / find home in community not therapeutically using and bleeding you dry / - not all service is worthless – not all workers are fine / - this will attempt to empower people, politics of the mind / - from patient to therapist – to the health system world-wide / who cares – like who repairs you when access is denied /
