Big Pharma
He joined the army for the thrills
Had some fun
It paid his bills
Deployment One
In an Afghan field
IED goes off
A couple people killed
When he comes home
He locks it down
Cuz he loves these people
And he loves this town
Goes back out
For another round
Got a medal this time
As he forced a smile
Another brother had died
Nightmares compound
As they laid him down
In a sacred mound
Never will for-get
How the body was found
Wish he would just sit
Down and talk about
What he's goin' through
How the shit went down
Wish I could help you
Zonin' out
Took another pill
Head up in the clouds
Cuz the doctor said
It'll calm him down
Knew an older guy
Worked his whole damn life
Had a couple of kids
Had a beautiful wife
Had a broken back
Had him up all night
Never figured out
How to sit just right
Walks around
All pissed - uptight
Doesn't wanna be right
Just wants to sleep tonight
Now the doctor says
He don't want to fight
Now he's going down a tunnel
Where there is no light
Laid him down
In a sacred mound
Never will for-get
How the body was found
Wish he would just sit
Down and talk about
What he's goin' through
How the shit went down
Wish I could help you
But you're zonin' out
Took another pill
Head up in the clouds
Look around right now
Never homeward-bound
Cuz the Doctor said
It'll calm him down man
Fuck these pills
They give me the chills
In pain all day
And I can't sit still
Don't fit these shoes
Can't foot this bill
A little bit of booze
Script to fill
So I wash 'em down
With a hopeful frown
But it wasn't supposed to put me
Six feet down
Listen close
You can hear me shout
Lemme ask you Doc
How do YOU feel now
Fuck these pills
They give me the chills
In pain all day
And I can't sit still
Don't fit these shoes
Can't foot this bill
A little bit of booze
Script to fill
So I wash 'em down
With a hopeful frown
But it wasn't supposed to put me
Six feet down
Listen close
You can hear me shout
Lemme ask you Doc
How do YOU feel now
How do you feel now
Knowing you the villian
Charge nine hundred dollars
For some damn penicillin
I don't go the doctor
Because I know that they're stealing
They ain't criminal minded
But now I'm gettin' the feeling
That they don't give a fuck about me
I'm just a paycheck
Bills are amounting
I ain't got paid yet
Gambling mortality
Cuz I ain't got a safe bet
That's just me
Now let's talk about the Vets
If you retire then you're set
But otherwise you're left for dead
My father with a broken back
Had only gotten 10%
I'm not acetametaphine
A virus in the medicine
I know we can do better than
The demons that they lettin' in
A soldier or civilian
I promise this I will defend
I'm stronger than I've ever been
Will not break or bend again
Tryin' to intervene
My friend is drowning
In and out in the
Addiction to prescription
Like the devil's in his head again
A meth-head on adrenaline
Or ridiling if anything
I'm comin' with a crow-bar
Cuz no matter what I'm gettin' in
Artistic with the pen
Cuz I mean every word I've written
Tryin' to tell the people
That we need an intervention man
Fuck the medication
Do some meditation
Yolo, talk it out
Embrace the situation
Cuz 4 out of 5 addicts started with a prescription
But now you just a memory
Cuz homie you didn't listen
Now they laid him down
In a sacred mound
Never will for-get
How the body was found
Wish he would just sit
Down and talk about
What he's goin' through
How the shit went down
Wish I could help you
Zonin' out
Took another pill
Head up in the clouds
Look around right now
Never home-ward bound
Cuz the doctor said
It'll calm him down
Man fuck these pills
They give me the chills
In pain all day
And I can't sit still
Don't fit these shoes
Can't foot this bill
A little bit of booze
Script to fill
So I wash "em down
With a hopeful frown
But it wasn't supposed to put me
Six feet down
Listen close
You can hear me shout
Lemme ask you Doc
How do YOU feel now
Man fuck these pills
They give me the chills
In pain all day
And I can't sit still
Don't fit these shoes

So I wash 'em down
With a hopeful frown
But it wasn't supposed to put me
Six feet down
Listen close
You can hear me shout
Lemme ask you Doc
How do YOU feel now
I don't want your hydrocodone
Percocet or methadone
I'm good with smokin' kush
That's why I moved to fuckin' Colorado
I don't see no war for Pot
When more than half the population
Suckles at the teat of a pill bottle
Wonder why I'm saying
I don't want your hydrocodone
Percocet or methadone
I'm good with smokin' kush
That's why I moved to fuckin' Colorado
I don't see no war for Pot
When more than half the population
Suckles at the teat of a pill bottle
