Take Sum Doses
If I could I'd take a million doses of happy
Cause happy is so hard to achieve
If I could put that chemistry in a pill
and shake it up till it succeeded in working
than I would become an addict
I would slave and prostitute
Just to have me sum doses
of the pill that will wipe away all sadness
What if there was such a pill?
Take a glimpse into our future
I predict disaster
I see someone tryna bottle utopia
I see someone tryna cure cancer
All in the hopes that one day
we as people could live better
But every good deed turns sour
I see people killing just to obtain
that power
just a couple of doses
away from pure bliss
This may sound ironic
But I don't think we as human beings
could handle this new kind of chronic
For a bottle of happiness
She'd give her son's life
He'd give his daughters virginity
Just for one taste
Of something he can hardly remember
my concoction mixed with human emotion
will cause the earth's destruction
