[Verse] Down in the clinic where the lights all hum, Used to be folks lined up, now they're gone, Machines are idle, the halls echo loud, Ain't no patients here to treat in this ghost town. [Verse 2] Once we stood mighty, with purpose, with pride, Making sure treatments were always supplied, But now I'm seein' fewer faces, just empty chairs, Radiation blues, the field's wearin' thin air. [Chorus] Oh, the beam's not shining bright no more, Too many docs knocking at the door, Fraction numbers fall like leaves in the breeze, Radiation oncology brought to its knees. [Verse 3] We trained so hard, our hearts in the game, But now we're just numbers, faces with names, Caught in dreams shattered by declining demand, Reading old textbooks with trembling hands. [Verse 4] Indications dwindling, futures unknown, Feels like we're fighting against the undertone, Once we healed, now we're just hoping to mend, The decline's a cruel master, won’t let us pretend. [Chorus] Oh, the beam's not shining bright no more, Too many docs knocking at the door, Fraction numbers fall like leaves in the breeze, Radiation oncology brought to its knees.
