Prescription For Pain Lyrics

A child stays at home
Makes the life his own he sees more clearly on the t.v. set
And his mother's on the phone
The doctor tells her if she takes three daily she'll sleep much better
Oh mix up your cope with the lines that prescribe your rescue
Witness the sun as it sets it won't blind you now

When you spend all your days on delay
Take your medicine and go through the haze you create
In your regimen
It's a prescription for pain
Get your prescription for pain

A man is in his car
He rambles for the hour he spends each morning on the freeway rush-in
He's reachin' for the gold
He puts his wife on hold
She's out shopping
One more twelve hour day
She stays in that great big house
He'll be home late once again
Oh it's a big account
He'll have time when the kids are grown

And you spend all your days on delay
Take your medicine and go through the haze you create
In your regimen
It's a prescription for pain
Get your prescription for pain.

Grandpa was an early riser
He made me breakfast in the morning
I saw his nature of survival
I knew that yellow stuff was something he was hiding

And he'd spend all his days on delay
Take your medicine and go through the haze you create in your regimen
When you spend all your days on delay
Take your medicine and go through the haze missing out
You're missing out oh
It's a prescription for pain
Get your prescription for pain
A new prescription for pain
Get your prescription for pain
