I don't wear a watch
But even I can tell the time.
My appointment's at three twenty
Which should be time aplenty.
Don't get me wrong
There could be a delay
You might have had a busy day.
But sitting here taking stock
It's now gone four o'clock.
If I were to walk off the street
I could understand...
But there's no excuse
For my appointment as planned.
Surely we just fill
Our allocated spot
Or is it a conspiracy
"Got it in for me" plot?"
'Salus populi suprema lex'
Latin translation of the text
'The health of the people is the greatest law'
Well I'll let you know
If I get through the doctor's door.
Posters on the wall asking
'Did we get it right?'
I'll let you know
If I've been seen by tonight!
