Drug Ballad
i’m sick of this counting game,
a different pill for every problem .
a new pill for everyday.
count out your issues in convenient little bottles labled with a purpose.
one pill for the pain .
two pills to make me sane.
a pill for the sleep.
these pills have got me knee deep.
a bottle of pills to help us write out our wills .
pills, pills, pills.
all these pills are startin' to give me the chills .
one pill for the lies.
two pills to help me open my eyes .
a pill to counteract the pills.
these pills are startin' up unpayable bills.
7 pills a day.
49 pills a week .
210 pills a month .
now i can hardly breathe.
so remember to take your pills every day!
then we can go out and play.
we take our pills by the bulk.
all these pills so that i will no longer sulk.
do not crush or chew,
swallow whole.
take with food,
do not take with alcohol .
may cause drowsiness.
a pill to make you smile.
a pill to make you breathe .
a pill to make you numb .
and another to put your mind at ease.
count out all your problems into boxes marked by days.
take a pill for every issue and let it all fade away .
