Walkin' 'Round In a Daze

Walkin' 'Round In A Daze
By Roy Merritt

It’s just somethin’ insider your head 
These things you see and hear
You just take some of these pills 
And maybe they’ll disappear
And if it doesn’t help you 
Just take a few more
You just might enjoy them
And these things you can ignore

Cos’s crazy is everywhere now
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze 
Yeah crazy is everywhere 
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze

I’ll give all you want 
All the pills that you need
They’re sure bound to help you 
And maybe you'll succeed
At avoidin’ these problems
That cos’ you so much pain
But careful at how many you take
They might drive you insane

Cos’s crazy is everywhere now
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze 
Yeah crazy is everywhere 
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze

Times are tough all over 
They been tough for a long while
Money is hard to come by
To maintain your lifestyle
Worry is a constant companion
A storm brewing on the wind
So take you some of these pills
On them you can depend

Cos’s crazy is everywhere now
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze
Yeah crazy is everywhere 
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze

But you gotta be careful 
At how they make you feel
You just might get addicted
Addicted to these pills
You might go out your head
You might lose your grasp
You might be a junkie 
You just might breath your last

Cos’s crazy is everywhere now
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze 
Yeah crazy is everywhere 
Many are like you these days
And you’ll just be one more person
Walkin’ ‘round in a daze
One more person 
Walkin’ round in a daze

Lim'Rik Flats December 16, 2016 at 10:25 AM Well, I might be crazy, but I like this song. Been there, done that. Pill free and still crazy, but, I think sanity is overrated;-). Fun poke at pharma world! enjoyed ~ john Roy Merritt December 16, 2016 at 10:52 PM I was actually trying in my humble way to mock and at the same time cast some light on the frightening phenomenon of opioid addiction in the country at the present time and has been prompted by the hopelessness that abounds and is responsible for it. Glad you liked it. In my day I preferred a joint.
