Lyrics
Hey you, Medicine Man
Addressing a figure called "Medicine Man," seeking help
Set me free and change my ways
Requesting liberation and a transformation in behavior
Hey you, give me a holler, give me a harbor
Asking for attention and refuge from the Medicine Man
What do you say?
Inquiring about the Medicine Man's response
Hey you, Medicine Man
Reiteration of addressing the Medicine Man for aid
Give me what I'm hurting for
Seeking something crucial to ease pain or distress
Hey you, give me a holler
Requesting attention and help again
I can't live like this no more
Expressing an inability to continue living in the current state
Oh, oh, what do you say?
Repetition seeking freedom and change
Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Set me free and change my ways
-Ooo-oooo-oooo-whooa-oo-oo
Vocalization possibly indicating emotional distress
Ooo-oooo-oooo-whooa-oo-oo
-Hey you, Medicine Man
Recognizing the Medicine Man's understanding of the broken
You know what the broken need
Specifying the Medicine Man's awareness of needs
Hey you, I'll give you a dollar to take this pain away from me
Offering compensation in exchange for pain relief
Oh, oh, what do you say?
Repeated pleas for liberation and a change in behavior
Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Set me free and change my ways
-Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Set me free and change my ways
-Won't you change my ways?
Specifically requesting a change in behavior
Hey you, Medicine Man
Continued calling upon the Medicine Man for aid
Ooo-oooo-oo-oo-oo
-Hey you, Medicine Man
-Ooo-oooo-oo-oo-oo
-Oh, oh, what do you say? (whoo-oo-oa)
Repeated questioning for guidance and change
Oh, oh, what do you say? (whoo-oa)
-Oh, oh, what do you say? (who-o-oa)
-Set me free and change my ways (change my ways)
-Oh, oh, what do you say? (what do you say)
Further pleading for transformation and direction
Oh, oh, what do you say? (change my ways)
-Oh, oh, what do you say?
-Set me free and change my ways
Final call for freedom and a change in ways
Hey you, Medicine Man
-Set me free and change my ways
