Manna For Madness
Psychiatrists have us believing in
the myth of psychotropic medicine.
Chemical potions to free mankind
from the prisons of tortured minds.
But the drugs they deal can cause so much harm
voices are crying out in alarm.
You can’t hide the damage you do
it’s “manna for madness” that you brew.
We are victims that you have tossed
into a chemical holocaust.
In the name of help you gain our trust
then use your drugs to imprison us.
Substances that are in those pills
make our minds and bodies ill.
You can’t hide the damage you do
it’s “manna for madness” that you brew.
Just look around and you can tell
the people you treat don’t get well.
Patients dumped on streets everywhere
mumble madly through vacant stares.
All they can do is babble on
their power to reason completely gone.
You can’t hide the damage you do
it’s “manna for madness” that you brew.
You attack our bodies, our souls and minds
with chemical potions of every kind.
They fog the brain within our skull
to cloud our thoughts and keep us dull.
You haze our minds so we can’t see
the harm you do to humanity.
You can’t hide the damage you do
it’s “manna for madness” that you brew.
