Lyrics
United States of Medication, they'll treat it but it won't be cured. 'Cause cures don't generate income, so why don't you come to terms? There's a little pill for everything, it'll make you feel so nice, don't fall deep into the void or you're bound to lose your life.
United States of Medication, have you had your fix today? You'll lose your friends and family, but never give up the chase. ' Cause one more time will make it all right, and that's what they always say. But one more time just ain't enough 'cause that feeling just won't stay.
United States of Medication, big pharmacy's here to stay. They'll get you hooked on everything and you'll do anything to pay.They won't stop till we're all hooked and we feel no fucking pain Then the goal will be fulfilled: Medicate the whole USA
I don't want your pills to feel like a human fucking being
