[00:20.31] They could prescribe you any illness you'd like
[00:22.62] If you define the terms of your ailments
[00:25.69] You could sing a pretty malady like a black canary
[00:28.57] But a crow don't know the smell of carbon monoxide
[00:31.75] How many years have you been on that couch
[00:34.04] They could've quilt'd you in the throws by now
[00:36.91] You draw a line in the sand where it ends and you begin
[00:39.95] But the tide rolls in, so who knows? Oh well
[00:42.90] And a little identity never hurt nobody
[00:45.98] But lately you've been focusing too much on yourself
[00:48.96] So how many milligrams of you are still left in there
[00:54.38] Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills and no psychiatrists
[00:59.94] No, we just drank ourselves to death, and god damn it, we liked it
[01:14.98] Who makes the call? What's a symptom, what's a flaw
[01:17.22] Can it be both? Well I suppose that's an answer
[01:20.25] Would you give up your humanity for just a touch of sanity
[01:23.36] Cause God knows it's not like it's cancer
[01:25.81] And good news to the purists: they've discovered a cure
[01:28.75] For the symptoms of being alive
[01:31.75] It's a painless procedure with a low rate of failure
[01:34.73] But very few patients survive
[01:38.88] And a little conformity never hurt nobody
[01:42.04] But lately I've been worried that you're losing yourself
[01:44.89] So how many milligrams of you are still left in there
[01:50.32] Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills and no psychiatrists
[01:56.04] No, we just bled out in our bath, and god damn it, we liked it
[02:54.98] Doctor, what's my prognosis if the studies show that
[03:00.85] Disease is in the eye of the beholder
[03:04.53] Tell me "so it goes"
[03:07.03] We depress to impress, I guess
[03:09.58] In layer after layer to get off our chests
[03:12.65] It's cold out now, we can take it off later
[03:15.95] Better safe than sorry, and we both know the danger
[03:19.07] So doctor, could you run another test
[03:25.72] Got a feeling that this time I might just pass it
[03:29.51] Well, if you raise the average
[03:32.01] We'll all sing when the bell curve rings
[03:34.64] In lyrics symptomatic of the way we think
[03:37.66] If our harmonies don't sync, we can change our voices
[03:40.82] A chorus on condition of our diagnosis
[03:43.92] Back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills and no psychiatrists
[03:49.53] What can I say, except don't heed no evil wills of moral nihilists
[03:54.31] I said, "Back in the days of lobotomies and shock therapy and mad scientists
[04:00.37] Oh don't you make me waste my breath. God damn it"
[04:24.52] Ain't your you-dentity at stake
[04:26.63] Does aspirin kill you with the pain
[04:28.63] You're not your thoughts, you're not your brain
[04:30.78] You're just the character you've made
[04:32.85] Up in your head, down in your heart
[04:34.89] What seem like separate body parts
[04:37.14] Come together to believe they're you
[04:39.59] And not just chemistry
[04:41.37] It's not the way that you were raised
[04:43.38] Or what the advertisements say
[04:45.38] Not what you pay for, what you pray for
[04:47.60] What you want, or what you say
[04:49.43] And I see your tendency to redefine disease by what you need
[04:53.77] And I'm afraid I can't prescribe the diagnosis that you seek
[04:58.06] And something tells me that you need
[05:00.06] Forgive me now if I misspeak
[05:02.01] But something tells me that you like
[05:04.14] And something tells me
[05:09.82] You prefer
[05:12.27] To be sitting there flipping through those old issues of People
[05:16.22] Well that's our time, see you next week
