The Painkillers

The painkillers take them away
They are killing people everyday.
Maybe you have a heart attack,
Or pull a muscle in your back.

Fall down and bang your head,
Might be lump that hadn’t bled,
Might be bleeding inside your skull
Bloody painkillers the pain did dull.

They can do more harm than good
Take them for we are told we should.
For this pain that won’t go away
The pain we get almost every day.

I know it almost drives you crazy
The pills will make your mind hazy.
If I take the pills the pain will go
Only to come back in an hour or so.

I can not lift my shoulder today,
Take a some pills it will go away.
My knees hurt badly what can I do
Take a some more pills one or two.

Pills are the cause of most of our ills
Wonder how many people they kills.
There will be no true figures shown
Cause of death is completely unknown.

As they carry me out in my wooden box,
I had been too many times to the docs.
On my grave will be the inscriptions.
"He got to many bloody prescriptions."
