Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
|
"Substances make you dumb"
|
Then you say, "give 'em some"
|
Are you the victim
|
Of this experience
|
Child experiment
|
Teacher's predicament?
|
You're in THE SYSTEM
|
|
And if you don't walk the line
|
You can walk the plank
|
Your older brother (government)
|
Wants to control your mind
|
You're more useful blank
|
|
Prechorus
|
Medicate the kids
|
Feathers turn to quills
|
Pump 'em full of training fluids
|
Powders and pills
|
There's nothing you can't flush out
|
And nothing you can't kill
|
|
Chorus
|
Why don't you just back off of us
|
Before we go crazy?
|
I'm gonna tell you,
|
"No way,
|
This ain't fair play,
|
Just don't medicate me"
|
|
Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
|
"Substances make you dumb"
|
Unless you get 'em from
|
Someone who loves you
|
One who knows best for you
|
Paid for those tests for you
|
Knows how to get you through
|
When it's above you
|
And you can't get on top
|
Cause it's high to climb,
|
You hear them saying,
|
"Don't make me call the cops"
|
Every other time
|
|
Prechorus
|
Chorus
|
|
Bridge
|
And there's a long line
|
Flowing from prescription aisles
|
Filed through legal means
|
So we can alter the child
|
For his protection
|
Tie him to extension cords,
|
This is the age of discipline
|
|
Chorus
