Another dose
Sedates the urges
The liquid flows
A new high surges

It all started out
With a doctor's note
A prescription wrote
For legal dope

A visit to the local pharmacy
And a prayer to change
And wishful hope

Anxiety disorder?
Swallow klonopins
Down your throat
Stress from work?
The pharmacy's got
The perfect cure

Medical advice
Without understanding
Convincing ourselves
That we lack any self control
Self discipline triumphed
The medicinal path commands
The mind and agency fail
Mind and agency fail

Anxiety disorder?
Swallow klonopins
Down your throat
Stress from work?
The pharmacy's got
The perfect cure

Addiction feeble mind
Frail infrastructure
