The fifth track from Rated R, “Better Living Through Chemistry” takes its name from a slogan for the chemical company called DuPont, which the company used until 1982. As Josh Homme said at a live performance in 2014, “Here’s a song about drug use.”
[Verse 1]
The blue pill opens your eyes, is there a better way?
A new religion's prescribed to those without the faith
A hero holding a knife, and blood is not enough
Is it too late to go back? Is it too late to go?
[Chorus]
There's no one here (There's no one here)
And people everywhere (People everywhere)
You're on your own
[Guitar Solo]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
Let's see if I'm hearing this right, you suggest I should take
A never-ending supply to carry out the dead
Your idols burn in the fire, the mob comes crawlin' out
I'm reclaiming my mind, destroying everyone
[Chorus]
There's no one here (There's no one here)
And people everywhere (People everywhere)
You're all alone
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh
