[Tom MacDonald - Side Effects lyrics]

And we don't want drugs
Why isn't healthcare free?
When our therapists all need therapy
Don't need mental health awareness
Funded by the pharmaceutical terrorists
How can you help us if you
Can't relate to our feelings
That you label symptoms
To quantify treatment?
It's hopeless, your company profile is bogus
You'll maximize profit by our diagnosis
Doctors prescribing the pills are
Awarded a bonus, but don't treat the ailment
Financial incentive has changed
All our doctors
To greedy commission based salesmen
Advertised on every single channel
Commercializing what we cannot handle
Marketing happened
It's targeting people with labels
On bottles and logos like cattle, uh



Shit don't change, yeah
I been feeling pain, yeah
Doctor sign his name, yeah
Pharmacy a game, yeah
I'm not living more, I'm dying less
And paying for it with side effects

All these side effects from dollar
Signs on their minds, yeah
I'm a mess
And they're just tryna sell me lies
With side effects your drugs don't
Even get me high
I thought dealing was a crime, y'all
Just playing with my life, yeah
All these side effects from dollar
Signs on their minds, yeah
I'm a mess
And they're just tryna sell me lies
With side effects your drugs don't
Even get me high
I thought dealing was a crime, y'all
Just playing with my life, yeah

Feeling numb and indifferent
But my therapist listens
He makes notes in his book, and
I'm sure if I look
I'd see names of prescriptions
I just can't escape it
This Ativan, Seroquel, Xanax
Solution to sicknesses
Corporate agendas have mixed with
The wellness of people
Creating a culture of illnesses
All the benefit's of modern medicine
And still I feed it down inside my skeleton
I might just let it win if I descend again
And end depression with a rush of adrenaline
I'm feeling electric, pathetic, lethargic
Exhausted and nauseous, it's awful
I can't tell the doctor 'cause
I'll leave his office
With bottles of pills that
I struggle to swallow

Shit don't change, yeah
I been feeling pain, yeah
Doctor sign his name, yeah
Pharmacy a game, yeah
I'm not living more, I'm dying less
And paying for it with side effects

All these side effects from dollar
Signs on their minds, yeah
I'm a mess
And they're just tryna sell me lies
With side effects your drugs don't
Even get me high
I thought dealing was a crime, y'all
Just playing with my life, yeah
All these side effects from dollar
Signs on their minds, yeah
I'm a mess
And they're just tryna sell me lies
With side effects your drugs don't
Even get me high
I thought dealing was a crime, y'all
Just playing with my life, yeah

They don't want me better
They don't want me dead i got money to blow
There's a price on my head
Take me to the pharmacy
I never get what they promise me
'Cause I'm feeling nothing except all these

All these side effects from dollar
Signs on their minds, yeah
I'm a mess
And they're just tryna sell me lies
With side effects your drugs don't
Even get me high
I thought dealing was a crime, y'all
Just playing with my life, yeah
All these side effects from dollar
Signs on their minds, yeah
I'm a mess
And they're just tryna sell me lies
With side effects your drugs don't
Even get me high
I thought dealing was a crime, y'all
Just playing with my life, yeah
