Written and sung by Brandon Schwartzel, FIDLAR’s bassist, this track is written about Zac Carper, the band’s lead singer and rhythm guitarist. It was written in spite of his heavy drug addiction and heightened alcohol abuse after the death of his girlfriend.
You say you miss her
And it's hard to be apart
Until the next girl you see
When you're drunk at the bar
You ask me why you do it
I couldn't care less
I just smile and shrug
No I won't say shit
About that bad medicine
That silver spoon
That you always had
Well you bent it up
And you burnt it black
So I'll take the bottle
You take that spoon
I'll shoot at the bar
You'll shoot in your room
I'll drown my liver lie and say I'm sick
While you shake in your room trying to kick
That bad medicine
You'll shake the needle
And the damage is done
But when it's time for "I'm sorry"
Cat's got your tongue
We'll be fine without that bad medicine
Till you're blacked out drunk and you piss on me again
We'll be fine without that bad medicine
Till you're blacked out drunk and you piss on me again
It's just that bad medicine
