Favorite Son Lyrics - Good Riddance

Why did you need to take that pill? 

never has and never will 

make you better make you well 

you're shackled in your self-inflicted cell 

sunlight you'll never see 

you're a prisoner of pharmacology 

and you're telling me you feel fine 

never better 

that's what you said in your last letter 

that was read aloud at your memorial last week 

where are you now? 

Up above? 

I hope you find some kind of love 

that isn't bottled or tamper-resistant 

but unconditional and consistent 

the peace you've spent you lifetime searching for 

if this is what it takes 

maybe others can learn form your mistakes 

and turn off that blacklight before it gets too late
