[Verse 1]
I woke up early,
Quickly finished my meal,
And headed to the osteopathic clinic.
It was only 7:50 in the morning.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A line had already formed.
I asked someone at the very back.
[Chorus 1]
A long, snaking line stretching endlessly,
How long would I have to wait?
Does no one question this?
Is this a pointless exercise?
[Verse 2]
An old woman spoke up.
“Reception opens at 8:30.
Examinations start at 9:30,
You have to wait an hour and a half.”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I left that spot and went to get my health checkup first.
There was a line at the entrance, so I joined it.
[Chorus 2]
A long, snaking line stretching endlessly,
How long would I have to wait?
Does no one question this?
Is this a pointless exercise?
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
After waiting thirty minutes, my turn came.
Everyone else took the elevator.
I sprinted up the stairs to the third floor.
That’s where the reception desk was.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I handed in my test kit.
Then, I encountered another reception desk.
[Chorus 3]
A long, snaking line stretching endlessly,
How long would I have to wait?
Does no one question this?
Is this a pointless exercise?
[Bridge]
I wrote my name and address on the form.
They checked the details of the document.
I paid the fee for the checkup.
Then, I walked back down the stairs to the first floor.
[Final Chorus]
A long, snaking line stretching endlessly,
How long would I have to wait?
Does no one question this?
Is this a pointless exercise?
[Outro]
