"Operation" lyrics

I need an...

Take me to a hospital
'Cause there's too much blood lost to tell
If I'll make it out alive
My body's got a war inside
The bossy nurse, I talked her
Into getting a new doctor
Someone who cares about me
Makes sense
Someone with patience for his patients

I need an operation
Oh Lord, please operate
I need an operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong
And my spirit's weak

I need a room for this emergency
The ER would suit me perfectly
With tubes and needles stuck into me
I'm on an envoy turn inside the IV
I think my life just passed me by
20 years, an ugly sight
But God was there through thin and thick
But there's so much thin it makes me sick

I need an operation
Oh Lord, please operate
I need an operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong
And my spirit's weak

I need an operation
Oh Lord, please operate
I need an operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong
And my spirit's weak

I need an operation
Oh Lord, please operate
I need an operation
Renew the pride, extract the hate
Bring the color back into my cheeks
Because my flesh is wrong
And my spirit's weak
