Got a stupid job, but it's fair money
|
Got a brand new car but I can't drive
|
I've got a sweetheart, I call her honey
|
And I've also got a wife
|
People say that they're depressed
|
But they go out, they're so well dressed
|
What is it that makes them feel that way?
|
Can't get it in no drug store
|
No man's an island, that's for sure
|
And it looks like the world just ran out of things to say
|
|
So, give me some of the people's drug
|
Give me some of the people's drug
|
Whatever makes you feel that good
|
I'll take it like I know I should
|
So, give me some of the people, people's drug
|
Give me some of the people's drug
|
|
|
Pick me up and take me to a movie
|
Give me an ending that I can understand
|
Sell me a rocking soundtrack, make it groovy
|
Give me backstage passes to the band
|
People always whine whine whine
|
Shut up and pay the fine fine fine
|
What's the difference anyway
|
Beteween being safe and being rad
|
When the big joke is we've all been had
|
You won't get to read the news in USA Today
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
God, it's a whacky race we're running
|
And I must atone for all my sins
|
God grant me some of what you're giving
|
Heard you don't need needles, don't need pins
|
I'll pay prescription where's the bill
|
I thought it was a bitter pill
|
But what's it matter what I feel
|
Take the dog and take the wife
|
Shoe me how to life the life
|
The price you people pay well it's gotta be a steal
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
