We just keep on doping and doping the blood of our children
To silence them
And shut them up
And if we keep on suppressing, suppressing our children's emotions
We'll shut them up
We'll build up pressure
And we'll sit back watching exploding, exploding, as children become
incapable and sick and tired
Of this problem that's gone unsolved
And they turn into shooters, and rapists, and mass-fuckin-murderers because we all just sit here
Doping and doping the blood of our children
A biological war's been waged by us within the brains and veins of our children
Creating weapons of chemical suppression and reliance which turns into unchecked violence
Prescriptions for blue little ovals with magic answers in small orange bottles
With a list of side effects longer than the damn receipt
And this deceit that we can defeat depression by suppression and calmed emotions
Will pull us under
And tear asunder the lives of our children who dope themselves
With magic ovals
