The Disease

They told him it was harmless
That it'd cure the previous addiction
Even the doctors are doing it
And all the intelligentsia

They told him it was harmless
That it'd expand his mind
It would make him cool at last
And get him all the girls

Billions and a graveyard to fight it
But the goal is never to beat it
Pharma likes its cut as well
Got to cook the people right

Isn't it time he kicked the habit
Isn't it time he cleaned up for good
Isn't it time he realized
That the disease is not the cure

They told him it was harmless
That it'd show people he was serious
Sped up and slowed down
He could finally be the robot they wanted

They told him it was harmless
That it'd end his sorrows for good
David Sassoon waits in the harbor
And Kennedy's liquor is on the moon

Countless lives ruined everywhere
But the excuses never stop
Do people really want their poison
Why are they so sad

Isn't it time he kicked the habit
Isn't it time he cleaned up for good
Isn't it time he realized
That the disease is not the cure
