The Dysrhythmics - Resident Blues

I'm a lonely resident ain't got no clout
Beginning to wonder if I can stick this thing out
The whole time in med school, I was top of the heap
Now staff and nurses treat me like a worthless creep
Resident blues – payin' your dues
Ten thousand admissions – all for me
I swear I'll take hostages if I get one more H & P
They said it'd be easy, they said it'd be cake
I'm beginning to wonder if my sanity's at stake
Resident blues – payin' your dues
Sleep deprivation, psychotic rage
So proud my paycheck's 1/10th the minimum wage
Some day I'll get even, I'll have my day
A new crop of interns will have hell to pay
Resident blues – payin' your dues
Do no harm, show bedside charm
Live and learn and pray you don't get burned
Resident blues – payin' your dues
Look at it this way, you'll soon be done
Or you'll go off the deep end a homeless wino on the run
It's part of the process just can't be missed
A true rite of passage, now the rest of your life you'll be pissed
Resident blues – payin' your dues
Resident blues – wake up to the news
Resident blues – payin' your dues
RESIDENT BLUES!
