Mrs. greer, your son acts up in cla** He asks the questions that your not supposed to ask Mr. greer it's pretty plain to see Your son has got ADHD And the doctors say he needs 30 milligrams of amphetamines (go!) When i turned eight years old They put me on the pills One to focus me at school Help me follow all the rules And one to keep my tears away Because little boys should never cry One help me through my day And one to help me sleep at night And i had so few memories of what it was like before That i took those damn pills every day since 1984. Now i recognize the system, i see what they're really for I'm not giving you my money, i won't take them anymore. I was in the dead-center of the country When i popped my final pill Sold the rest of the bottle to some kids from Chicago And turned towards something new And for the first time in my life I felt at peace with who i was I couldn't wait to share the new world out there With all the people that i loved And i had so few memories of what it was like before That the first week off of the pills i felt like i had been reborn Now i recognize the system, i see what they're really for I'm not giving you my money, i won't take them anymore. That's when i started thinking About this society And how there's something wrong when a kid so young's Put on amphetamines At first i blamed my parents Then the doctors then the school But if you wanna fight back Look higher than that At the filthy frat cat with the big contract At the puppy-k**ing lab the results come back taking science-fiction and calling it fact Then they steal your hope and they sell it back And if it f**s you up they don't give a crap Because they still drive home in their Cadillacs Making money off a game where the decks are stacked And if that's not enough, well it's bigger than that It's just a tiny piece of the system's attack On you So whatcha gonna do? Do i have so few memories of what it was like before That i can write this song, smoke in my lungs and a bottle on the floor? Now i recognize the systems, i see what they're really for I'm not giving them my money, i won't buy it anymore.
