I got places to go and people to see
So hurry up, pill, bring me peace
I'm not equipped to face this world
alone. I'm just a little girl.
Doctor Doctor why does it hurt?
The sound of your voice is making it worse
Mommy, Daddy make it stop
I want to scream but I can't talk
The monsters have their grip on me
They've covered my mouth and I can't breathe
Hurry up pill! It's been fifteen
minutes since I've last been seen
Can't you numb me any faster?
It's dark in here, I'm scared you bastard
pill. The Rx said maximum strength
How long do I have to wait?
Good God I don't feel anything yet
Not even drowsy. No placebo effect.
The minutes tick by and I start to wonder
Perhaps I ought to swallow another
pill. Or maybe smoke some weed
Or sip some leftover Hennessy
Or maybe try a brand new vice
A change of scenery might be nice
Then all of us tiny boys and girls
Won't feel so small in this big bad world
So we huff and we puff and we chug all night...
Yes, ill-equipped we remain for this perilous life
