Lyrics
Got me a case of the blues, but I'm just playing dead
waiting for the shrink to come and straighten out my head
He says he knows what I need gives me an SSRI
told me- you might have some side-effects, but I think that you'll be fine.
You know they're safe, they're FDA approved
In a month or two we'll have you back in the groove
Then I... six weeks later I found my head laying down on the floor and it said-
Hi, is it The Fourth of July
So you'll pardon me doc if I still seem a little down... a little down
A month or two passed by, I felt no better no worse
but I had so many side-effects I couldn't fit 'em all in one verse
I met some guy in a bar; said he had a supply
Told me- forget that prescription stuff, I got the shit that'll make you fly.
First you take some of these and those
and the white stuff there you just suck up your nose
Then I... later that evening I saw my life pass before my eyes and I said-
Hi, is it The Fourth of July
So you'll pardon me folks if I still seem a little down
a little down... a little down... a little......
