Story behind the song
I'd rather have the blues than be medicated into apathy.
Lyrics
My baby left me, one winter day My bitter ways drove my friends away My doctor bills are overdue He gives me pills to see me through (now) I feel no sorrow, the capsules kill the pain I feel no joy but I guess I can’t complain I did not weep when my baby said we’re through To tell the truth, I’d rather have the blues Since he’s been gone, I’m not alone I’ve got the internet, I’ve got my phone But that’s not human company You can’t cuddle up to a TV I feel no sorrow, the capsules kill the pain I feel no joy, but I guess I can’t complain I’m so mellow-ed out I don’t have any moods Forget the pills, I’d rather have the blues.
