Happy Pill - Song

Yes, another one about our screwed up world. How ironic isn`t it...the rich get richer, the poor get poorer...and government help is getting thinner and thinner...we`re becoming a 3rd world...everywhere

I`m choking down your pill without water now
Knowing that the effects won`t change a thing
I still feel the same in this still life of mine
There may be something beautiful out there,
but like a tree I remain
I grow numb from all the pain in a world that keeps me alive just for laughs

I`ve moved on from everything pulling me down - but poverty

I can`t afford a child, a car, a home or a guitar
Jobs went with the dinosaurs
Giving us myths to disprove
The rich and famous don`t know how hard we try
Just to resist the urge to die

I`m choking down your happy pill without water now
Caution, this medication may lead to suicidal thoughts...
Hm, so what`s the point of this pill?
It sure feels like they`re weeding out the poor
There no longer will be unemployment, homeless shelters, or rehab services
We`ll all be branded at birth unless we`re talented or beautiful

I`ve moved on from everything pulling me down - but poverty

I can`t afford a child, a car, a home or a guitar
Jobs wen`t with the dinosaurs
Giving us myths to disprove
The rich and famous don`t understand how hard we try
Just to get by

I`ve choked down your happy pill without water
Knowing the systems` failed
I still stand here rooted
Just older and more cynical
Life and death have blended
There is no certainty
Just like generations before me
We die too late for our dreams

I`ve moved on from everything pulling me down - but poverty
Jobs went with our dreams
Somewhere we can`t go
