Citizen Fish - Pills lyrics

I was taking all the pills to stop me feeling ill again Supermarket shelves collapsing at the till again Doctor couldn't help patients running out again Where's the next step up? All went blank for a couple of pages Hazy recollection of staring for ages, and ages So I didn't know how, I didn't know when An easy choice became the trend Weakening the thrills, less money to spend Someone had a car borrowed from a friend Memory distortion ten years on and back again Thrills a generation crash into the window pane Another empty parking space A friend of ours was here We drank a lot of beer Next day his Vauxhall Cavalier Had gone and disappeared Taking all the pills only went so far Did you get the thrills when you took the car? Driving up the price of running out of anything Caught in the distortion, distortion of escapism brutality He's wasted - escapist - in his overdrawn reality He's wasted - He's wasted - He's wasted - He's wasted
