lyrics

I got a headache so bad I went to a man, who’d spent eight years in school
A plaque on the wall said “don’t worry y’all, I know just what to do”
He had a sun baked tan from the Caribbean, paid for all expense
By the pushers in suits wearing ostrich boots, with tickets to the sportsball game

You’ve got anxiety? Don’t fret, just glue yourself to the T.V. set
Your kid’s are overweight? That’s okay, just don’t let them outside where the predators wait
You can’t get it up, your hair is falling out? Well that’s two more things for you to worry about
But you should know from the voice on the dreamscape coated ads
We got a pill for that

Well now my headache’s gone and I ain’t got no qualms with my catatonic cage
I feel safe in the walls of the marshal law they built up in my haze
But a rash on my skin, some internal pain, shortness of breath
Sent me back to the man for a few more meds to treat the first pill’s side effects

Now I’m on so many prescribed drugs that I can hardly stand
My wife took the kids away but hey, I got a pill for being depressed
So I went over to my doctor friend’s to see what new junk he had
He said an overdose has quit your pulse, we ain’t got a pill for that
