Medicate The Kids

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
Wants to control your mind, you're more useful blank
PRE-CHORUS
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
VERSE2
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
PRE-CHORUS (same as before)
CHORUS (same as before)
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 (modulated)
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
