Nurse Ratched Lyrics

Everyone needs a Nurse Ratched
helping our minds on the mend
she closes the door but won't latch it
letting the loonies in
Oh, everyone needs a Nurse Ratched
Twiddling four thumbs
in the back of the pill line
Waiting so, to run
trying to find my peace of mind
this time
Bedfellows in time, you know
This yellow inside will grow
(b-b-but I'm not afraid to say...)
Everyone needs a Nurse Ratched
helping our minds on the mend
she closes the door but won't latch it

She won't let McMurphy win
Yeah, everyone needs a nurse... Ratched
The sweetness of her safety
It's warm but it's fleeting
She's making up the rules
So it's not even as if she's cheating
... this time
The white of her dress is blinding
The black I confess... unwinds me
(I want my cigarettes!)
Everyone needs a Nurse Ratched
helping our minds on the mend
she closes the door but won't latch it
She won't let B-B-Billy win
Everyone needs a Nurse Ratched
helping our minds on the mend
she closes the door but won't latch it
letting the loonies in
Yeah, everyone needs a nurse
(everyone needs a nurse)... Ratched
Everyone needs a Nurse Ratched
I need a Nurse Ratched
and you need a Nurse Ratched
