Anne Grete Preus - Medisin lyrics

What great risk to truly live? We could die alone Self-proclaimed meaning of bliss Is getting what we're owed It's always getting what we're owedI am like a machine all that I really need is medisin And then I'll fall fast asleep In my dreamlike state I'll pretend I'm unscathed But when I wake up my resilience fades When I wake up my resilience fadesHow long, how long? How long, long?I know there's more to life than slavery I'm tired of dying I know there's more to life than drinking This soul-sick medisinOh no, no, I'll never listen to what I'm told At twenty-four, you'd think I'd hold my speech Instead, I'll mix you a co*ktail, some truth and some slander And never practice what I preach, I never practice what I preachHow long, how long? How long, long?I know there's more to life than slavery I'm tired of dying I know there's more to life than drinking This soul-sick medisinI know there's more to life than slavery I'm tired of dying I know there's more to life than drinking This soul-sick medisinI know there's more to life I know there's more to life I know there's more I know there's more to life than drinking This soul-sick medisin
