Don't Take My Meds

I got up today, a little bit dismayed

From all the things heard on the news

They’re shooting like a fool where my kids go to school

I think it's giving me the blues

This world is so unkind. I might just lose my mind

It is not funny so don’t laugh

I've witnessed so much pain, I think I’ll go insane

Or maybe now I already have

Don’t take my meds, I can’t be off my meds

For more than a day or maybe two

Cause if I’m off my meds, the voices in my head

Will start telling me bad things to do

I went to the store, like a million times before

You won’t believe the things I’ve seen

A young kid with no mask demanded all the cash

He could not be even a pre-teen

I should have stayed inside, be safe where I can hide

I’d rather deal with all the rats

I’ll stay my butt at home, with no TV or phone

For maybe then I can relax

Don’t take my meds, I can’t be off my meds

For more than a day or maybe two

Cause if I’m off my meds, the voices in my head

Will start telling me bad things to do
