mrs. greer, your son acts up in class nhe asks the questions that your not supposed to ask nmr. greer it’s pretty plain to see nyour son has got ADHD nand the doctors say he needs n30 milligrams of amphetamines (go!) nnwhen i turned eight years old nthey put me on the pills none to focus me at school nhelp me follow all the rules nand one to keep my tears away nbecause little boys should never cry none help me through my day nand one to help me sleep at night nnand i had so few memories of what it was like before nthat i took those damn pills every day since 1984. nnow i recognize the system, i see what they’re really for ni’m not giving you my money, i won’t take them anymore. nni was in the dead-center of the country nwhen i popped my final pill nsold the rest of the bottle to some kids from Chicago nand turned towards something new nand for the first time in my life ni felt at peace with who i was ni couldn’t wait to share the new world out there nwith all the people that i loved nnand i had so few memories of what it was like before nthat the first week off of the pills i felt like i had been reborn nnow i recognize the system, i see what they’re really for ni’m not giving you my money, i won’t take them anymore. nnthat’s when i started thinking nabout this society nand how there’s something wrong when a kid so young’s nput on amphetamines nat first i blamed my parents nthen the doctors then the school nbut if you wanna fight back nlook higher than that nat the filthy frat cat with the big contract nat the puppy-killing lab the results come back taking science-fiction and calling it fact nthen they steal your hope and they sell it back nand if it fucks you up they don’t give a crap nbecause they still drive home in their Cadillacs nmaking money off a game where the decks are stacked nand if that’s not enough, well it’s bigger than that nit’s just a tiny piece of the system’s attack non you nso whatcha gonna do? nndo i have so few memories of what it was like before nthat i can write this song, smoke in my lungs and a bottle on the floor? nnow i recognize the systems, i see what they’re really for ni’m not giving them my money, i won’t buy it anymore.
