The Antidote
Mr. Medicine
Give us something that will heal
Keep our children in mind
Before you fill us full of pills
There's no money in the cure
But you don't have the right to kill
You bury us alive
Wait one week
Then send the bill
Oooooh
Mister don't forget about the common man
Evangelistic man
Won't you practice what you preach?
The life you choose to live
Ain't the same one that you teach
You've made a million dollars
From the sermon that you've sold
You can't pass through the gates
With a pocketful of gold
Oooooh
Mister don't forget about the common man
Mr. Politician
Out there smiling, shaking hands
You'd have to walk a mile
In our shoes to understand
You sell a piece of sky
Long enough to get our vote
Then slip us all the poison
While you take the antidote
Oooooh
Give us something that will heal
Keep our children in mind
Before you fill us full of pills
There's no money in the cure
But you don't have the right to kill
You bury us alive
Wait one week
Then send the bill
Oooooh
Mister don't forget about the common man
Evangelistic man
Won't you practice what you preach?
The life you choose to live
Ain't the same one that you teach
You've made a million dollars
From the sermon that you've sold
You can't pass through the gates
With a pocketful of gold
Oooooh
Mister don't forget about the common man
Mr. Politician
Out there smiling, shaking hands
You'd have to walk a mile
In our shoes to understand
You sell a piece of sky
Long enough to get our vote
Then slip us all the poison
While you take the antidote
Oooooh
