C5: x355xx

Am*: 577555
G5: 355xxx
F5: 133xxx
[C5]                                         [A5]
mrs. greer, your son acts up in class
                                                                        [F5]
he asks the questions that your not supposed to ask
                                          [G5]
mr. greer it?s pretty plain to see
                                [C5]
your son has got ADHD
and the doctors say he needs
[G5]                                           [C]
30 milligrams of amphetamines (go!)
[C]
when i turned eight years old
       [Am]
they put me on the pills
[F]
one to focus me at school
[G]
help me follow all the rules
      [C5]
and one to keep my tears away
             [Am*]
because little boys should never cry
[F]
one help me through my day
      [G]
and one to help me sleep at night
     [Am]                                       [E]
and i had so few memories of what it was like before
         [F]                                                    [G]
that i took those damn pills every day since 1984.
         [Am]                                   [E]
now i recognize the system, i see what they?re really for
            [F]                                         [G]
i?m not giving you my money, i won?t take them anymore.
[Am]   [E]    [F5]   [C]
i was in the dead-center of the country
when i popped my final pill
sold the rest of the bottle to some kids from Chicago
and turned towards something new
and for the first time in my life
i felt at peace with who i was
i couldn?t wait to share the new world out there
with all the people that i loved
and i had so few memories of what it was like before
that the first week off of the pills i felt like i had been reborn
now i recognize the system, i see what they?re really for
i?m not giving you my money, i won?t take them anymore.
          [C]
that?s when i started thinking
         [Am]
about this society
                         [F]     
and how there?s something wrong when a kid so young?s
      [G]
put on amphetamines
    [C5]       
at first i blamed my parents
               [Am*]
then the doctors then the school
                [F]
but if you wanna fight back look higher than that
          [G]
at the filthy frat cat with the big contract
          [F]
at the puppy-killing lab the results come back
           [G]
taking science-fiction and calling it fact
                [F]
then they steal your hope and they sell it back
            [G]
and if it fucks you up they don?t give a crap
                    [F]
cuz they can still drive home in their Cadillacs
             [G]
making money off a game where the decks are stacked
          [F]                 
and if that?s not enough, well it?s bigger than that
           [G]
it?s just one of the systems's many attacks
     [C]   [F]  [G]
on you
                            [C]  [F]  [G]  [Am]
so whatcha gonna do?
(spoken word)
do i have so few memories of what it was like before
that i can write this song, smoke in my lungs and a bottle on the floor?
now i recognize the system(s), i see what they?re really for
i?m not giving them my money, i won?t buy it anymore.
