about
Drugs was written about the common anxieties we all face when being told we have to take certain prescription medications.
“What if I get other symptoms from taking this? What if it doesn’t work? What if it makes me feel worse? What if I become a different person?”
Kim worked in pharmacy for 8 years and saw how the world of pharmaceuticals made some people’s lives infinitely better, but for others found them popping all kinds of pills for any kind of relief — and often times to no avail.
lyrics
Coffee got me feeling nauseous,
And I can’t have my alcohol,
Sick of being cautious,
What's this paracetamol?
Coffee got me feeling nauseous,
And I can’t have my alcohol,
Sick of being cautious,
I don’t want paracetamol!
I don’t wanna take these drugs,
Nah! I don’t wanna take those drugs!
Put that script back in your printer doc!
Yeah, I don’t wanna take these drugs.
Swallowing too much air,
It’s anxiety they swear it!,
They say I gotta stay off the gram,
And take Escitalopram.
Well upwards comes the acid,
And I’ve gotta take my antacids,
Is your downstairs’ feeling flacid?
Well... I’ve never taken a pill for that before.
I don’t wanna take these drugs
Nah nah nah! I don’t wanna take these drugs!
Put that script back in your printer doc!
Yeah, I don’t wanna take these drugs.
Oh no, I don’t wanna take these drugs.
No, I don’t wanna take these drugs.
No, I don’t wanna take these drugs.
No, I don’t wanna take these drugs.
Are you feeling good?
Or are you feeling weird?
Is it medicine or food?
Do you feel better than you did?
