THEY GIVE YOU PILLS


Pills to keep you from crying
Pills to make you happy
Pills that eat a hole in your stomach=crappy
Pills to make your blood thin
Pills to ease your pain
Pills to make you woman
Pills to keep you sane
Pills to ease your burning gut
Pills to make you pee
Pills to keep your eyes shut
Pills to set you free
Pills to help your thyroid
Pills to make it hard
Pills to shrink a fibroid
Pills to those thus marred
Pills in pretty colors
Pills of every kind
Pills that make you holler
Pills that make you blind
Pills to serve up in applesauce
Pills to count at end of shift
Pills with all their many costs
Pills the old-age lift.
