Doctors, schools, beds and beans
choice, more choice the panacea
(but only for the rich or those in the know)
the market rules; you takes your choice.
What, left with the dregs? Well
(not my fault - I gave you the choice)
you chose (says he)

Thrills and excitement, secret assignations
heart beat races (possible disappointment?)
Duty, obligation, illness, stale love
should I? shouldn't I?
Now I have a choice
and choices are good (say they)
I chose (why not?) I could.

I made the choice, he had no choice;
I was strong and he was weak (no ill).
I liked my choice and it was good
(still is and better all the time)
but duty, obligation, compassion and care
what chance what hope when faced with fun
They won (they would) that's good.

Quality up and prices down, that's choice
(they say, it's good - so choose)
but priceless devotion, love unconditional
hopeless dependence and trust absolute
he needs me; he wants me, there is no choice
Both now a part of me (and them) we're three
till death takes one (no choice).
