Gavin Degraw - Medicate The Kids lyrics

Tell 'em, "Say no to d**" "Substances make you dumb" Then you say, "give 'em some" Are you the victim Of this experience Child experiment Teacher's predicament? You're in THE SYSTEM And if you don't walk the line You can walk the plank Your older brother (government) Wants to control your mind You're more useful blank [Pre-chorus] Medicate the kids Feathers turn to quills Pump 'em full of training fluids Powders and pills There's nothing you can't flush out And nothing you can't k** [Chorus] Why don't you just back off of us Before we go crazy? I'm gonna tell you, "No way, This ain't fair play, Just don't medicate me" Tell 'em, "Say no to d**" "Substances make you dumb" Unless you get 'em from Someone who loves you One who knows best for you Paid for those tests for you Knows how to get you through When it's above you And you can't get on top Cause it's high to climb, You hear them saying, "Don't make me call the cops" Every other time [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] And there's a long line Flowing from prescription aisles Filed through legal means So we can alter the child For his protection Tie him to extension cords, This is the age of discipline [Chorus]
