Sackler Street

Once you've found the right doctor
And have told him or her about your pain
Don't be afraid to take what they give you
Often it will be an opioid medication
Some patients may be afraid of taking opioids
Because they're perceived as too strong
Or addictive
But that is far from actual fact
Less than one percent of patients taking opioids
Actually become addicted

Tie off the arms of
The working class farmers in pain
Rural road arteries
Blue-collared suburban veins
Prime the injection site
With a sales team swarm
Double the dosage
And we'll be back for more
Hammer abusers and when the abscess develops
They'll drain
All their profits
With the lives they won't claim

On ramp
Orange bottle debut
Off ramp
White powder
Hot spoons
On ramp
Contrived conditions break through
Off ramp
Death rattle
Lips blue

Clean up the streets
Get a mop and some bleach
Daddy Sackler knows just what to say
The cost of business
Just a couple of billion
And a hundred-fifty-million graves
Just skew the valleys and the peaks
Extended-release withdrawal
Poverty
Houselessness
Fortune to fleece
A country's vital signs grow weaker except one
The one invented by James Campbell to sell us drugs

Now I know physically with the medication
I'm able to get out there and work
And make the company grow
If you can get the right medication
And the right doctor to treat you and look at you
Now see I can go back to work
If I can work I can make money
If I can provide for my family you know
I can get my kid a car when he gets sixteen
The future just looks great

On ramp
Off ramp
On ramp
Off ramp
