There are ads on the TV and the radio
In newspapers and magazines too
The drug industry is marketing you

They can create a desire, create a disease
Convince you that you might be ill
So you’ll run to your doctor’s office for their new little pill

CHORUS:  Prescription chaos
             It’s the American way
             We can all feel better
             Take some drugs today

They used to search for cures
Now they MANAGE your disease
So they can sell you their products until you’re deceased

Now don’t get me wrong, medication can save lives
But there’s more harm done than good when it’s over prescribed

CHORUS:  Prescription chaos
             It’s the American way
             We can all feel better
             Take some drugs today

They understate the danger; don’t want you to know all the facts
If you did you wouldn’t buy their products
And they can’t have that

CHORUS:  Prescription chaos
             It’s the American way
             We can all feel better
             Take some drugs today
             
Take more drugs today       More, more drugs today
