Take a Little Pill

Mama got depressed when Daddy was dying

So the doctor gave her something to help her with her crying

Then she couldn't sleep, so he gave her something else

Now there's yellow, red, and pink on her bathroom shelf

Says, if one won't work

Then another one will

If you got a little hurt

You take a little pill

The fella down the road that walks with a limp

He's a decorated soldier and a pain pill pimp

Got a loaded gun and old pit bull

A black Cadillac with a whole trunk full

Says, if one won't work

Then another one will

If you got a little hurt

You take a little pill

Lay it on your tongue

Ain't a nerve that can't be numb

Ain't a buzz that you can't buy

Ain't a low you can't make high

Till it wears off

Like it always will

And when it does

You take a little pill

Whoa

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa

Whoa, oh, oh

You don't need a needle

You don't need a vein

No burn like whiskey

No cross like cocaine

If you ever lose a lover

Or wanna lose some weight

What you can't cure

You can medicate

If one won't work

Then another one will

If you got a little hurt

You take a little pill

Lay it on your tongue

Ain't a nerve that can't be numb

Ain't a buzz that you can't buy

Ain't a low you can't make high

Till it wears off

Like it always will

And when it does

You take a little pill

Whoa

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa

Whoa, oh, oh
