Lyrics
Chorus I've got a pill for that I've got a pill for that Don't worry about the side effects I've got a pill for that
Well doc I've got got the catholic guilt Im pretty sure im going to hell My wifes a witch and my kids hate me I just remembered my priest raped me
Take 200mils of setraline You won't feel a god damn thing If that dont work just take double And call me when you're done the bottle
Chorus
Well doc i ain't been sleeping much Im always angry my job sucks I drink like a fish to numb my brain I get a little nervous flying on planes
Hey there son try this Xanax It'll make your life a fucking mess If you're feeling stressed you can take one Don't take it with liquor it enhances the fun
Chorus
Remember I told you my job blows Well I fell off a ladder and broke my nose I can barley move my neck Could I please have some percocet
Of course there son thats a perfect call When can't afford that do some fentanyl Theres really no chance you'll ever get sober But my jobs done when your life is over
Chorus x2

“Don’t worry ‘bout the side effects, I gotta pill that” boy do you have big pharmas number. Love the classic storytelling folk/country vibes here. And great to see you back for another round of FAWM!
Hilarious lyrics!! had me in stitches! Great write!! Loved the guy n guitar production. I really really enjoyed this one!!
This song is why I smoke grass! Diggin' the slant rhymes and the gut punches -- that closing lyric is a banger.
Love the structure, here. This feels like a proper protest classic. "My job's done when your life is over" is keen as hell. Great job!
Uncompromising lyrics! Great mix of loose playing and punchy rhythmic muting. I’d sit on a bail of hay sipping moonshine to this.
Love the portrayal of humor in tragedy. Big Pharma will be contacting you with a contract in no time.
Wow, lyrics that pack a huge punch delivered in a fun package. It's like a spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down!
