about

Before the critics get too proud allow me to assure you I do NOT support drug use in any way. This song is not about "street drugs". This is a song about all the "legal" drugs that too many of us have been, will be or ARE currently on due to depression, anxiety and whatever else pushes us to feel we can not cope with daily life. Sometimes I think it may be a plan... to get us all in a sedated state so that we rely on substances that are only available to us from the government.

lyrics

everybody on drugs
everybody on drugs
didn't get em from a thug
the dr's gave em to us
in the middle of the day
in the middle of the night
everybody gonna cry
don't nobody know why

everybody hate their job
everybody punch a clock
better find a way to deal
oh, at least we got one
yeah yer mama on drugs
and yer daddy on drugs
did we ever have a choice?
somebody did this to us... yes they did.

there's a war on drugs
a war on drugs
you better have enough
before they take em from us
cause everybody need the drugs
everybody need the drugs
we didn't buy em from the thugs
the dr's gave em to us
