She sits in her chair waving her arms <br />Head rocking to and fro <br />She's got tubes round her neck, tubes up her nose <br />Attached to a life saving gizmo <br /><br />There's an old girl who clearly can't look after herself <br />Always calling for help to take her down off the shelf <br />While the other inmates have to sit and listen <br />'Cos they can't get up to walk out of nightmare prison <br /><br />You can see a brave face on these abandoned old folks <br />bundled together in the final hoax <br />Care in the community's a flipping joke <br />If they were animals you'd put most of 'em down <br /><br />It's not like the hotel they stayed at every year <br />With entertainment each night, cocktails and beer <br />It's just an institution, the last stop saloon <br />The beer's all run dry doom and gloom <br /><br />These are the unlucky ones I get to see <br />There are others confined to their dormitory <br />The only way out is in a plywood coffin <br />But they're worth more alive because their rent is astonishing <br /><br />You can see a brave face on these abandoned old folks <br />bundled together in the final hoax <br />Care in the community's a flipping joke <br />If they were animals you'd put most of 'em down
