lyrics

Don't ask me how I been babe
I can't see real straight
Gimme plenty of Vicodin babe
I was out real late

Don't gimme no work today boss
Need my legal drugs
Get me caffeine on a tray boss
Fill my coffee mugs

Because you're giving me the drugs to improve my health
And you're telling me how I should think for myself

It's time I need a milkshake
Of saturated fat
I fill up my car on lunch breaks
And stop to smell the gas

9 to 5 I work my fingers
Down to dirt and sweat
All I ask you in return is
Just a cigarette

Because you're giving me the drugs to improve my health
And you're telling me how I should think for myself
I've a pharmacy of prescriptions upon my shelf
Alright...

I'll get home and take my shoes off
Hold my breath a lot
Find a spittoon and start to cough
And pour myself a shot

Don't tell me how to live man
I don't take LSD
I'm happy with distractions man
Addicted to sobriety

Because you're giving me the drugs to improve my health
And you're telling me how I should think for myself
I've a pharmacy of prescriptions upon my shelf
At least I've still got all my wisdom and wealth
