take a little pill

mama got depressed, when daddy was a-dying, so the doctor gave her something, to help her with her crying, then she couldn't sleep, so he gave her something else, now there's yellow, red and pink, on her bathroom shelf, says if one don't work, then another one will, if you got a little hurt, you take a little pill, fella down the road, walks with a limp, he's a decorated soldier, and a pain pill pimp, got a loaded gun, and an old pit bull, a black cadillac, with a whole trunk full, says if one don't work, then another one will, if you got a little hurt, you take a little pill, lay on your tongue, ain't a nerve that can't be numb, ain't a buzz that you can't buy, ain't a low you can't make high, til it wears off, like it always will, and when it does, you take a little pill, woah, woah, you don't need a needle, you don't need a vein, no burn like whiskey, no cross like cocaine, if you ever lose a lover, or you wanna lose some weight, what you can't cure, you can medicate, if one don't work, then another one will, if you got a little hurt, you take a little pill, lay on your tongue, ain't a nerve that can't be numb, ain't a buzz that you can't buy, ain't a low you can't make high, til it wears off, like it always will, and when it does, you take a little pill, woah, woah
