Folks these days don’t want to feel,

They seem so afraid to face what is real.

There are remedies for everything,

From sleeplessness to little aches and pains.

So many different pills,

Enough to make your head spin,

A pill to force happiness or make it so you just don’t care.

Another pill will help you sleep, then one to wake you up.

And if your kids or spouse cause you stress,

There’s a pill for that, for sure,

Your children will then just run amok,

But you will cease to be bothered.

And aches and pains will be a thing of the past,

The pain pills now days will take care of that,

And you can live your life in a fog of nothingness,

Being numb and feeling nothing.

But think of all that time you’ll save,

No need to learn how to parent or how to cope.

You will have no need of anything at all,

Except for your precious dope.
