I went to the doctor yesterday
Because I was worried and I needed to check
I'd been bitten by a mosquito in Mozambique
And I'd been drinking all weekend since
And I'd smoked ten-thousand cigarettes
At the wedding of an old friend
And with the strong medication that I had to take
I has pain from my stomach to my neck
But all these things they wash over me
No matter how hard I try
There is something in me that I cannot defy
Even When I ask why
So I went to get some blood tests done
And when I sat down to fill in my forms
I saw that one of the doctors there
Was a guy who I had been with at school
I wanted to shrink down into my chair
Because I can't even afford medical aid
And I had to leave the space for employer blank
Because that's not really how I get paid
But all these things they wash over me
No matter how hard I try
There is something in me that I cannot defy
Even When I ask why
I went in to see the doctor
And he asked me all about my life and my work
He told me off for smoking cigarettes
And told me to take off my shirt
And then he told me about his son in university
And how his friends take too many drugs
"Well, I don't know too much about that I said, "
"If you don't know it's there you don't see too much."
And then he told me all about his life
Growing up in rural Natal
Back in the days when it still was a homeland
Because I told him I worked out there sometimes
And he talked and he talked because he knew so much
About how messed up those communities are
About how few good people are left out there
And that they can't even look after themselves
And he said I could call him a racist if I wanted to
I though to myself, "The picture is bigger than that"
But I didn't say anything, I just
Nodded and smiled at him from where I sat
And all these things they wash over me
No matter how hard I try
There is something in me that I cannot defy
Even When I ask why
