Medicate The Kids Songtext / Lyric

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"

"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 kill



[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 drugs"

"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]
