lyrics

There's a man working hard to make you a new heart
You send him weekly checks to his factory downtown
He's working overtime on your family's dime
To make sure that it beats right and fits inside your cavity
When the day finally comes, you take your husband and son
And drive the station wagon to the envelope's address
But there is no factory - just an empty mailbox
And notice of eviction on brightly colored paper
And you say "curse the day I ever learned to trust you
and curse the day I ever learned to need."
Time won't heal shit.
Time won't heal shit.
Time won't heal shit.
You broke down, you cursed the day
(Time won't heal shit)
You should have done it yourself
(Time won't heal shit)
If you had wanted it done right
(Time won't heal shit)
You should have done it yourself
(Time won't heal shit)
