Flustered by frustrations, you can’t think straight
You’re searching for an answer before it’s too late
You can’t handle the problems you have
You just wanna get back to the life you had
But now everything is piling up at your feet
And you can’t keep running from it all
Your mind’s eye clouded by depression
You can’t get a grip on yourself
You know you’ve gotta stop your problems from progressing
So you turn to the people you think you can trust for help
These doctors swear an oath that we can trust them with our lives
Claim they want to help but all they do is prescribe
The pills that will get them the best pharmaceutical bribes
They’re enjoying their kickbacks while we slowly die
Fuck what your doctor says, Paxil kills
You can’t beat depression with prescription pills
Suicidal ideation? I’d rather be depressed
Pharmaceutical inebriation, side effect death
When they started using Paxil back in 1996
Its non-habit forming formula made the drug a hit
10 years later they were forced to finally admit
Withdrawal symptoms from the Paxil were making people sick
Then comes new information about the suicidal risks
And they tell us that the drugs not safe in high dosages or for kids
Hope you kept your receipt if you wanna join the folks who sued them
Because if not a hundred bucks is all you’ll get for retribution
These greedy corporations take advantage of the sick
Prescribing us an easy answer without knowing all the risks
Depression makes you vulnerable and you’ll do what doctors say will help
Just keep in mind their interest lies in money not your health
