Big Pharma Don'T Play Fair

IN BED WITH BIG PHARMA  
FEELING ALL FUZZY AND WARM  
AIN'T FELT THIS GOOD 
SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN

MEDS FOR THINKING  
MEDS TO RELAX  
THEY COMPETE WITH THUGS
ON THE STREETS WHO SELL CRACK

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE  
BIG PHARMA IS LEGAL  
THE THUGS GET HARASSED   
BY DRUG SNIFFING BEAGLES

THEY BOTH KILL PEOPLE  
IN THEIR OWN WAY  
BIG PHARMA GETS PAID
THE THUGS LOCKED AWAY

BIG PHARMA'S IN BED  
WITH POLITICIANS OF COURSE  
THE THUGS HAVE FRIENDS
THEY'RE CONSIDERED COHORTS

FRIENDS WITH BIG PHARMA?  
EVERYTHING'S FINE 
FRIENDS WITH THE THUGS?
IT'S CONSIDERED A CRIME  

THE MORAL OF THIS POEM 
IS IF YOU LIKE CRIME 
CRAWL IN BED WITH BIG PHARMA 
AND YOU'LL NEVER DO TIME
