Throw a Pill at it

You're s'caring me
(Surface caring)
Don't get too deep
Just throw a pill at it
You're signaling
(Virtue creding)
Won't get too deep
Just throwing pills at it

It's all symptom management
Won't address the cause
Cuz, if we were to address it,
We'd find we've broke the law
No one wants to face the fact
That everyone is cruel
Get forgiveness on Sundays
All week, break the Golden Rule
And throw a pill at it

Doctors throwing pills
Lawyers throwing pills
Leaders throwing pills
No one fixing ills
Just teaching children to throw pills

You're s'caring me
(Surface caring)
Don't get too deep
Just throw a pill at it
You're signaling
(Virtue creding)
Won't get too deep
Just throwing pills at it

The pill is never for the ill
It's for the caretakers
To keep the victims docile
For the narcissistic fakers
The scapegoats are the pointers
To the uncomfortable truth:
The shallowness in flavors
That we're feeding to the youth

Preachers thowing pills
Lawmakers throwing pills
Counselors throwing pills
No one fixing ills
Just teaching children to throw pills

Feed discenters poison
Pushing them to die
Then go to support groups
Get hugs for your reptile cries
If only you had cared enough
For the ones you killed
To do some introspection
They might be here still

But, isn't that the whole point?
We're resistant to change
Don't point out the insanity
The world that is deranged
The hippocrites and liars
The distractions they create
Illusions hide reality
That we have sealed our fate
So, take a pill
