Michael Songtext
von Blaenavon

Michael wrote a musical ′bout pharmaceuticals
The best song was called "The Drugs Don't Work"
Pretty cynical, the opening night was miserable
I′m not here to watch you preach about pills
You should have seen her in central Pasadena
Debbie didn't eat for eight whole days
To send a message to APA clerics
You can't cure it when it ain′t a disease

You′re the only God that you need to believe in
Don't waste your time hanging onto a feeling
Of sickening guilt, you should have left
You were trying your best
I′m not gonna try to stop you from leaving
But if you wanna come home, we'll all be here weeping
′Cause we love you, kid, it don't matter what you did
We′re all part of this mess, yeah, baby


Don't pill me up, babe, I don't need it
But I′m sick of being crazy, sick of being crazy
I don′t wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this
Don′t pill me up, babe, I don't need it
But I′m sick of being crazy, sick of being crazy
I don't wanna die, but I don′t wanna live like this

Ben was thirteen, he kicked and he screamed
Let's call the cops, it's ADHD
We reckon your son′s on the spectrum
We′ve got this magic drug, best thing since TV

You're the only God that you need to believe in
Don′t waste your time hanging onto a feeling
Of sickening guilt, you should have left
You were trying your best
I'm not gonna try to stop you from leaving
But if you wanna come home, we′ll all be here weeping
'Cause we love you, kid, it don′t matter what you did
We're all part of this mess, yeah, baby

Don't pill me up, babe, I don′t need it
But I′m sick of being crazy, sick of being crazy
I don't wanna die, but I don′t wanna live like this
Don't pill me up, babe, I don′t need it
But I'm sick of being crazy, sick of being crazy
I don′t wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this


I don't wanna die, but I don′t wanna live like this
I don′t wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this
I don′t wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this
I don′t wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this
I don′t wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this
