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

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

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.
