Medicate The Kids Lyrics - Gavin Degraw - Gavin Degraw

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs" 

"Substances make you dumb" 

Then you say, "give 'em some" 

Are you the victim 

Of this experience 

Child experiment 

Teacher's predicament? 

You're in THE SYSTEM 

And if you don't walk the line 

You can walk the plank 

Your older brother (government) 

Wants to control your mind 

You're more useful blank

[Pre-chorus] 

Medicate the kids 

Feathers turn to quills 

Pump 'em full of training fluids 

Powders and pills 

There's nothing you can't flush out 

And nothing you can't kill 

[Chorus] 

Why don't you just back off of us 

Before we go crazy? 

I'm gonna tell you, 

"No way, 

This ain't fair play, 

Just don't medicate me"

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs" 

"Substances make you dumb" 

Unless you get 'em from 

Someone who loves you 

One who knows best for you 

Paid for those tests for you 

Knows how to get you through 

When it's above you 

And you can't get on top 

Cause it's high to climb, 

You hear them saying, 

"Don't make me call the cops" 

Every other time 

[Pre-chorus] 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 

And there's a long line 

Flowing from prescription aisles 

Filed through legal means 

So we can alter the child 

For his protection 

Tie him to extension cords, 

This is the age of discipline 

[Chorus]
