Lyrics
i got a pill to wake me up
i got a pill to go to bed
i got a pill for my stomach
and a pill for my head
i got a pill to make me smile
a pill so that i won't
i got a pill so i won't feel
like i'm in all this alone
got a pill to make me nice
a pill for when i'm loud
got a pill in my pocket
and i wanna take it now
medicate us and bring us to our knees
medicate us do anything you please
someday when we've lost all our souls
and we've sold all our minds
then we have lost control-i said
medicate us and bring us to our knees
medicate us do anything you please
everytime that we give up the fight
yeah we die for the right to decide
on what is wrong and right
i got a pill to wake me up
i got a pill to go to bed
i got a pill for my stomach
and a pill for my head
i got a pill when i'm depressed
i got a pill to take for life
got some pills for my kids
i got some pills for my wife
got a pill to go to work
i got a pill to go to town
got a pill in my mouth
and i wanna take it now
medicate us and bring us to our knees
medicate us do anything you please
someday when we've lost all our souls
and we've sold all our minds
then we have lost control-i said
medicate us and bring us to our knees
medicate us do anything you please
everytime that we give up the fight
yeah we die for the right to decide
on what is wrong and right
