You say you want a revolution

Last Friday, Bondi+ was about the waiting list of the Mater Dei. It ran a short clip of interviews with patients, mainly pensioners, which have been on the list for more than 4 years.

One of the persons interviewed described how she desperately needed a hip replacement (… she still does). Five years elapsed and not a word. Now the poor woman is disfigured and unable to walk. She probably isn’t aware that she can sue the whole establishment for negligence.

At least the government is no longer in denial about it and just like a pot-head who took his lungs for a stroll in the countryside has at last conceded that there is a problem. John Dalli calls for a revolution. A revolution, geddit?

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

Revolution – The Beatles

You read the lyrics – now you might as well watch the clip too.
