The Pill Song

Lyrics

Taxi! These are American pills I buy American pills Sugarcoated in America An inexpensive way They say, they're toxic Too many will kill Overdosing, should not take Much skill The normal dose should be one I'll take twice ten just in case I hope I'm going to a far, far better place One, two, three pills Take a sip and four pills Five, six, seven Bet that I am not in heaven yet Eight and nine and ten Do it all over again One, two, three pills Take a sip and four pills Five, six, seven Bet that I am not in heaven yet Eight and nine and ten Do it all over again I hope I start feelin' bad My [?] better get worse This sounds perverse But I'd prefer a hearse To fancier mobiles Okay, I'm ready I'm waiting, to feel I've eaten my very last meal I want the pills to take hold I'm sure that I will decay Oh, can I have a night That's better than this day? One, two, three pills Take a sip and four pills Five, six, seven Bet that I am not in heaven yet Eight and nine and ten Do it all over again One, two, three pills Take a sip and four pills Five, six, seven Bet that I am not in heaven yet Eight and nine and ten Do it all over again Time passes [?] again Who'll salute me If I've thrown my life away? Hey-ey-ey Time passes Oh, time passes One hour, two hours, three hours, four As slow as molasses Time passes God damn American pills Don't buy American pills They don't kill you when they say they will Because, of where, they're made My feet are springy My future looks bright Can't this country Do anything right? I won't have flowers galore I won't have rouge on my face I won't be going to a far, far better place One, two, three pills Take a sip and four pills Five, six, seven Say that I am not in heaven yet Eight and nine and ten Do it all over again One, two, three Four Five, six, seven Eight, nine, ten Do it all over again One, two, three pills Take a sip and four pills Five, six, seven Bet that I am not in heaven yet Eight and nine and ten Do it all over Ah, do it all over Ah, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do Do it all over again
