The Man With the Long White Coat
By Joe Broome about the Milgram Experiment
The man with the long white coat said
Shock that fellow with 180 volts
I won’t even if I can’t hear the screaming
Even if he’s far away
I’ll get a second opinion, third opinion
Forth opinion,
Until I know as much as they do
and I can make a decision.
And the man with the stars and stripes said
Kill your brother with the rockets red glare
I won’t even if I can’t hear the screaming
They may be far away
I’ll get a second opinion, third opinion
Forth opinion,
until I know as much as they do
and I can make a decision.
Shock him with 185 volts
Shock him with 285 volts
Shock him with 385 volts
Shock him with 450
Light him up like a Christmas tree.
And the man with the long white coat said
The experiment requires that you continue
I won’t even if I can’t hear the screaming
Even if he’s far away
I’ll get a second opinion, third opinion
Forth opinion,
until I know as much as they do
and I can make a decision.

I won’t make a decision
Until I know as much as you do.
