The People`s Drug — текст песни (John Wesley Harding)

Got a stupid job, but it`s fair money
Got a brand new car but I can`t drive
I`ve got a sweetheart, I call her honey
And I`ve also got a wife
People say that they`re depressed
But they go out, they`re so well dressed
What is it that makes them feel that way?
Can`t get it in no drug store
No man`s an island, that`s for sure
And it looks like the world just ran out of things to say

So, give me some of the people`s drug
Give me some of the people`s drug
Whatever makes you feel that good
I`ll take it like I know I should
So, give me some of the people, people`s drug
Give me some of the people`s drug


Pick me up and take me to a movie
Give me an ending that I can understand
Sell me a rocking soundtrack, make it groovy
Give me backstage passes to the band
People always whine whine whine
Shut up and pay the fine fine fine
What`s the difference anyway
Beteween being safe and being rad
When the big joke is we`ve all been had
You won`t get to read the news in USA Today


(Chorus)


God, it`s a whacky race we`re running
And I must atone for all my sins
God grant me some of what you`re giving
Heard you don`t need needles, don`t need pins
I`ll pay prescription where`s the bill
I thought it was a bitter pill
But what`s it matter what I feel
Take the dog and take the wife
Shoe me how to life the life
The price you people pay well it`s gotta be a steal


(Chorus)
