The End of Medicine Songtext
von The New Pornographers

The angel cries ′you bastard' as we analyze the accent,
So look out, you rock′n'rollers.
Over forty million served, and that's a record for the master.
It stood forever after.


So are we, are we, are we, are we facing
The end of all, of all the drugs we′re lacing?
With common sense and courtesy and other things we thought
Would be the end of us, but now they won′t allow us our intentions.

Oh, the mother of invention, it's her pleasure to repeat with feeling:
Are we, are we, are we, are we facing the end of all the medicine we′re taking?

Somewhere in the system, there's an open-ended list of all the lies we tell,
Unblinking, thinking, what could we be living?
Is it life, or is it even in the realm of possibility?
You see it when you′re missing who you came to see,
Is this thing even on, and on, and on...

Are we, are we, are we, are we facing the end of all the medicine we're taking?
