Hey the bitter pill
Took all I can stand
The bitter pill
You know I took it like a man
Better find a cure
I can't take no more
The remedy to kill
The bitter pill
Doctor I know 'bout my reputation
Still all and all I been a good patient
Give me the medicine doctor
Give me a nurse
If I don't get better quick
I need a hearse
Its some kind of virus
Some kind of bug
All I know I need a little more of your drug
I ain't in know condition to try and speak
My mind is gone my will is weak
Hey the bitter pill
Took all I can stand
The bitter pill
You know I took it like a man
Better find a cure
I can't take no more
The remedy to kill
The bitter pill
At the infirmary its an emergency
They claim its full of sin
And tellin' me to believe
Don't want the needles
I can't go on at night
If I don't better quick
I take my life
Only healthy man
Not to my description
Dialed and used the phone
And took my prescription
He got what the doctor
Ordered for me
The doctor timed a murder child
In first degree
Hey the bitter pill
Took all I can stand
The bitter pill
You know I took it like a man
Better find a cure
I can't take no more
The remedy to kill
The bitter pill.
