Pills with an Alternative Motive

Take these,
I'll give you a repeat
Now they'll knock you around so here's a medical certificate
for a week
Make sure you keep taking them
don't you stop
They'll fix that flu up
You'll feel tops

They're quite big aren't they?
I know the drill
But I've never taken anything
as big as these pills

First comes health
hey I'm doing fine
I'll be back earning some dough
in no time
Then comes the malady
I'm spluttering my lungs
that green gunk coming out
has got me well strung

But hey just you wait
I said they'd give you a jolt
keep takin' this medicine
try not to bolt
it's all part of the process
we've got it covered
if you wanna get better
you gotta have suffered

Well OK doc
you know what to do
I'll be a good girl
and follow your cue

The headaches start
and each day they get worse
taking more pills
preventing symptoms from the first
Feeling drowsy all the time
but unable to sleep
is like wanting to run
without having feet
There's a cloud in my head
Nothing seems strait
Bad dreams make my days
not very great

I'll just keep taken them
I'm just feelin' down
from all this sickness
hangin' around
Being motivationally depraved
ain't too smooth
the TV stays on
when I'm not in the mood

Now comes the paranoia
I don't wanna go out
Nobody likes me
They're ignoring my shouts
Breaking into tears
when dishes don't soak
and getting intense bouts of range
when  people get close
Shouting at everyone
crying for no reason
Getting frustrated
at the weather and seasons

This isn't me!
Though it feels like it is
I wasn't so like this
before these pills of his
That's it
I can't take it
I've had enough of this tension
if I wanna get better
I'll go without medication
I don't need something so strong
to make me feel right
my head'll feel good
getting off of this tripe

As soon as i made
that final decision
the world smelled a little sweeter
and my mind strayed from incisions
And now that I've been
on those meds for a week
I might at last try
for a healthy nights sleep.
