I went to see my doctor, he stood behind the door,
I said Doc, you know this shock treatment ain't working anymore,
He said, Well, we can turn up the voltage to the highest number we can find,
next time,

Then I, went to see my broker, he smiled and shook his head, he said
It looked like your ship was finally coming in son, but it's rammed the shore instead,
I said lord I know you're trying to teach me patience, but this ain't what I had in mind,
not this time,
Painful situations, to bring about a change sometime,

Went down to see the Gypsy, had my fortune read, she took a mojo rag, wrapped it tight
all around my head, said "you're gonna feel so much better" and "I'd appreciate your payment in kind"
"If you don't mind",

"You see, A painful situation can bring about the change sometime",

Oh Lord can you help me? Help me to understand? What's it gonna take Lord, to drive 
the devil out of this man?

Went down to see the preacher, he smiled and closed the door, he said "your shock treatment
and your business and your mojo rag....ain't working anymore, he said " I can help you with your
salvation....we gonna read from the good book this time....if you don't mind..says right here,
Painful situations bring about the change, sometime."
