Pep-pills, pep-talk

Give me amphetamines,
give me life;
Give me barbiturates,
help me sleep at night.
I quit it all to start over again;
Take it as the confession of
a big time junk quitter,
a small time prescription junkie.

A prescription to pull you up. Another to bring you down. Isn’t it funny how a piece of stamped and signed paper wields the power to legalise your addiction and save you the trouble with cops!
