The Opioid Diaries
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Their end of days looks more like tomorrow
Their end of days started with a pill
But they’re not junkies like the news guy said
They’re just kids who’ve gotten over their heads
Big Pharma hooked them in the first place
And it won’t stop
Come on Sean, you’re on drugs
You’re gonna run out of luck
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better
Come on home while you can
I know I don’t understand
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better
When those pills are gone, what’s gonna happen?
When those pills are gone, what drug is next?
We’ve made a nation full of kids on dope
They’re looking down now at the end of their rope
So now who’s gonna come and fix this
Cause it won’t stop
Come on don’t tie it off
Be your undoer of knots
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better
Come on home while you can
I know I don’t understand
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better
It won’t get better
It won’t get better
It won’t get better
It won’t get better
Now we’ve made a nation full of kids on dope (dope)
They’re looking down now at the end of their rope (rope)
So now who’s gonna come and fix this
Cause it won’t stop now
Yeah!
Cause they’re not junkies like the news guy said
They’re just kids who’ve gotten over their heads
Big Pharma hooked them in the first place
And it won’t stop
Come on Sean, you’re on drugs
You’re gonna run out of luck
You could still find your way, you know
It won’t get better
Come on home while you can
I know I don’t understand
You could still find your way, you know
It will get better
