Can You Spare a Minute?
I can't spare a minute
Not for sick kids
nor pleasant pretty women
saving children for a living
What a sad state
to strategize exclusively
responding to the needs
you yourself perceive
based on limited experience
and the few reports
you've found time to read
in between meetings
But it's a hectic world baby
information is fragmented
like split screen television
you can't know everything
and you can't save 'em all
Just like the docs on ER
Not for sick kids

you can't know everything
and you can't save 'em all
