Lyrics
Americaine

Well, you see my life, it's a lot like a flash of light.
And at Eli Lilly, well they can make it flash right.
They make it so I can face each day.
I asked my pharmacist, she says it's the American way.
So it must be O.K.
Give me Prozac, so I can bear what I see.
And maybe Paxil (I see it's on TV).
Lord knows those Percocets, they sure take away my pain,
But don't you worry, I never touch cocaine.
Yeah, I'm living the American way.
So you think six prescriptions might be a cause for concern,
All I can say is you've got a lot to learn.
You see I wear a smile nearly everyday,
And my HMO, well they're the ones that pay.
So it must be O.K.
Give me Prozac, so I can bear what I see.
And maybe Paxil (I see it's on TV).
Lord knows those Percocets, they sure take away my pain,
But don't you worry, I never touch cocaine.
Yeah, I'm living the American way.
Great to see this song back on the list! ....not so sure the pharmaceutical companies feel the same! Lyrics are a brilliant editorial.
