Stop The Bleeding

STOP THE BLEEDING

If a wound is going to heal
You got to stop the bleeding
Guard against infection
Or there’s no use in treating it

Apply a little pressure
Keep your wound above your heart
You got to clean up your mess there
Stop the bleeding before you worry about the scars

What is your emergency
You say it was an accident
It’s not your fault, it’s no one’s fault
Just one of those things you can’t prevent

Sometimes you keep it covered
Or you expose it to the light
You can do a lot more damage
If the bandage is too tight

Use a little alcohol
First it burns and then gets number
Soon you’re not limping anymore
You’re walking to the beat of a pounding ear drum

Tired from the false alarms
Now you’ve got a snowball’s chance
Shotgun down the getaway
Your chariot, your ambulance

We are the walking wounded
And we’re addicted to the cure
Long after we need the crutches
Our footsteps are still unsure

So if a wound is going to heal
You got to stop the bleeding
You got to stop the bleeding
You got to stop the bleeding
