Cascade
They hate me, cuz i'm a believer
I got hope and faith and i see the glass half full
But they say greed, affects the perceiver
So we watch and scream "the stake we're owed's past due!"
One for your bellyache one for your hormones
One for withdrawals yet somehow there's more of those
One to get regular, notice the release
Of commercials about, getting some relief
All cause of numbed receptors
Inside your intestines, but they just don't get the message
Once you start asking 'em questions
They move you along and they suggest an injection
It's just a suggestion, they say, as they're turning away
100 plus people getting murdered a day
10 billion for the dope, then another 5 for the follow on hope
And that's not to mention, the whole other market invented
All around overdose protection
And the fact is, i see Narcan ads on bus bench
And many times it's been a success
But still i'm still suspect, and say it's a problem man
Why would Alkermes spend so much on lobbying?
Sh*t man perhaps worst of all Indivior
Showing no pity for, all of the city poor
Kaleo, Evzio Pfizer, the profits keep rising, as we're getting higher
Good people are trying, to escape from the fire
But it's an environment that's breeding reliance
They pray on desire, just a little break from the pain
Before i gotta face it again...
I'm hoping for a little bit of break from the pain
Before i gotta face it again ...
They hate me, cuz i'm a believer
I got hope and faith and i see the glass half full
But they say greed, affects the perceiver
So we watch and scream "the stake we're owed's past due!"
A radio call from dispatch
Code 17, and nobody could miss that
Just a couple years ago it barely was used
Now if 3 days go past my mind is confused
I pull up to a ranch in a pretty nice part of town
But already there's a body that's being carted out
It's so much harder now, responding in time
The potency of the poison is the problem defined
I walk in the front past a hysterical neighbor
On the living room TV is the mayor
At a press conference the sun is still shining
He's saying "i will not let this problem define me!"
And i can't help but shake my head at the timing
And then i overheard the woman standing behind me
Yelling "don't you see how big the problem is man?
This officer cannot even offer a hand"
And i'm thinking damn, how did we get to this?
How could so many kids just knowingly do this?
And for many years we dismissed it as foolish
So looking back now we must admit we were clueless
And now the most ruthless, scourge in years
Is killing my community and worsening fears
And worse it appears - and i don't mean to shed no personal tears
But it seems to be turning my peers
Into the same pool of wasted talent, that's facing this challenge
And craving some balance
Apache, TNT, China Girl, whatever we
Call it don't matter if we can't get ahead of these
Monsters, let's face it they're murders
Pain treatment perverted, it almost makes me question my service
Just another thing shaking the ground i'm on
And yet somehow ganja's still frowned upon...
They hate me, cuz i'm a believer
I got hope and faith and i see the glass half full
But they say greed, affects the perceiver
So we watch and scream "the stake we're owed's past due!"
I got hope and faith and i see the glass half full
But they say greed, affects the perceiver
So we watch and scream "the stake we're owed's past due!"
