how many of us wear a mask
behind the pills that we ingest
to magically change our attitude
put us in a better mood
problem is they never last

so they kindly give us more
pills and pills by the score
hide the problems that we keep
can i have another please
back to knocking on their door

turn the **** and open wide
to a world that's zombified
proclaiming loudly we are cured
can we not see, have we not heard
all the sorrow in our lives

from all the pills that we ingest
that help us hide behind the masks
changes truth in attitude
puts us in a better mood
problem is it never lasts
