I was curious, so I transcribed this by ear; I'd be interested in knowing how well it agrees with the printed lyrics.


PRESCRIPTION JUNKIE
As sung by Uiscedwr on "Fish Cat Door" (2009)

Sixteen down and five to go.
Gotta do it all again tomorrow. Oh, no!
Take my drugs and play the game.
Probably gonna lose again; it's always the same.

CHORUS: Oh, take a sip of water and swallow it down, down, down.
Do it 'cause you've got to swallow it down, down, down,
Da-da-da-da-da-dum down.

Anti-this and anti-that,
Some'll make you thin and some will make you fat.
Useless body, please behave.
Give me a break and I'll be good; I'll fight through the haze. CHORUS

I can't drink; I shouldn't smoke.
Definitely not supposed to have a toke. Mm-hm.
How can I rebel when I'm in chains?
Takin' it in and making do is melting my brains.

Doctor, doctor, I'm a mess.
Diet of medication I need to take less.
Can you help me? Do you care?
Don't give me the ... I'm already there. CHORUS

Teenage ...
But I can feel another monumental stroke comin' on.
I won't take my drugs today.
Probably not the answer, but at least it's my way(?). CHORUS
