Medicate
I woke up this morning
And the pills were by my bed
You say I'm a loser
And I have lost something
(Up the dosage)
Everyone around me
Has a cure for thinking
I resist to simply exist
We all fall and medicate
Syringes are the opposition
Give it to me straight
Our pupils are like students
They dilate but never learn
The pharmacist was slaughtered
And the town was set to burn
(Up the doseage)
Somebody told me
That it is nothing
I resist to simply exist
We all fall and medicate
Syringes are the opposition
Give it to me straight
The bottle can't be filled
The blood runs to your head
Someone writes another pill
And the sky runs red
(Up the doseage)
How is your appetite
For drugs, sex, and the night life?
I resist to simply exist
We all fall and medicate
Syringes are the opposition
Give it to me straight
Seeing this more clearly
And you are in my thoughts
You hand me a prescription
I will show you God
(Up the doseage)
I resist to simply exist
We all fall and medicate
Syringes are the opposition
Give it to me straight
We all fall and medicate
We all fall and medicate
We all fall and medicate
