It’s not the moon
Not the weather
Not the weed that kills
It’s not the troubled children or the mentally ill
It’s not the unemployment or battle of wills
It’s the pharmaceutical prescription pills
They say they cure your ills when you get the chills
They give you the cure you can’t take it no more
Then you go off em and you lose your mind
Take em take em until you go blind
Swell all up Start gaining weight
You’re not yourself You’re someone you hate
You don’t feel nothing you don’t want sex
You got the shakes and the chills and other side effects
Flush it down the toilet wash it down the sink
it’s in the food we eat it’s in the water we drink
Pills pills they cure your ills
Pharmaceutical prescription pills
You give me a white one and I’ll give you a blue one
Let’s put em all together and have a bit of fun
A couple of pinks for a couple of reds
Numbness and tingling in arms and legs
Mania psychosis hallucinations
Heart attack stroke heart palpitations
Constipation dizziness agitation
Headache heartburn indigestion
Mood change dry mouth mental depression
Nausea dizziness and blurred vision
Unexplained weight loss decreased orgasm
Pills pills they cure your ills pharmaceutical prescription pills
It’s not the moon
Not the weather
NOt the weed that kills
It’s not the troubled children or the mentally ill
It’s not the unemployment or battle of wills
It’s the pharmaceutical prescription pills
