Lyrics

Your mama died and left you
when you were still a baby girl
Your drunk ass dad was not the parent type
You did not fit into his world

He left you at an asylum
You and your big sister Dee
there you learned to think only of yourself
There’s no such thing as “we”.

Nurse Jane
Nurse Jane
Nurse Jane
It’s enough to make you insane

They placed you out as a servant
at the tender young age of eight
You changed your name and hoped that you’d fit in
but you still had so much hate

Once you were a woman
you trained up as a nurse
You swore an oath to bring comfort to the sick
but many of them you made worse

Nurse Jane
Nurse Jane
Nurse Jane
Are you or aren’t you insane

You messed with people’s medications
brought them very close to death
It got you off to see people in such pain
cumming as they drew their last breath

You’d bring some back from the border
just to send them back over the line
didn’t matter to you who’s lives you would dissect
as long as you had a good time

Nurse Jane
Nurse Jane
Nurse Jane
history will call you insane
yes, history will call you insane
