Pills

I was taking all the pills to stop me feeling I'll again

Supermarket shelves collapsing at the till again

Doctor couldn't help patients running out again

Where's the next step up?

All went blank for a couple of pages

Hazy recollection of staring for ages, and ages

So I didn't know how, I didn't know when

An easy choice became the trend

Weakening the thrills, less money to spend

Someone had a car borrowed from a friend

Memory distortion ten years on and back again

Thrills a generation crash into the window pane

Another empty parking space

A friend of ours was here

We drank a lot of beer

Next day his Vauxhall Cavalier

Had gone and disappeared

Taking all the pills only went so far

Did you get the thrills when you took the car?

Driving up the price of running out of anything

Caught in the distortion, distortion of escapism brutality

He's wasted - escapist - in his overdrawn reality

He's wasted - He's wasted - He's wasted - He's wasted
