Good Things

[Verse 1]
Medicate yourself, you'll feel much better
Take those drugs again, they'll take you higher
Smoke your cigarettes for stress
Drink more just to feel less
This must feel like paradise but better

[Verse 2]
As if any of those squareheads know better
They wish they had the guts, glory and power
If only they could think less
Lay the pages of their book to rest
Keep their little minds open, feel better

[Chorus]
We'll drink to this today until it goes away
We'll pray and feel ashamed until another day
It's better that we're tame, that pain will leave you lame
I'd rather be good and numb before I'm maimed

[Verse 3]
You're stubborn like your parents and their mothers
You're selfish, sometimes rude but it don't matter
They all think you can do no wrong
You've been unlucky, you've been wronged
You're waiting for your time, things will be brighter

[Bridge]
They dose those schoolboys and their mothers
I'm sure they even dose each other
What's the worse that can happen, tell me, brother
Why not throw in the towel and have another?

[Chorus]
We'll drink to this today until it goes away
We'll pray and feel ashamed until another day
It's better that we're tame, that pain will leave you lame
I'd rather be good and numb before I'm maimed

[Refrain]
Before I'm maimed
Goodbye!
