All these relief-givers The needle sure revs in the red Chemicals like drugs They feel like they come from my best friend You think me a coward but I am a warrior With many voices in my head When I looked around and I reached out I saw no alternative
And God rest, God rest our souls And this substance is the only comfort I know He’s been hurting for a while Can we cut this man some slack And let him lie down, let him lie down
We are a country desperate for the embryonic I’m cold and I’m hungry And I yearn for a hand on my forehead You think it’s a walk in the park and it’s easy “She’s got it as good as it gets” This misunderstanding’s a line between living And being a walking dead
And God rest, please rest our souls And the more I take the less comfort I know She’s been pushing for a while Can we cut this woman slack And let her lie down, let her lie down The more that you hurl at me The more I will curl up in my bed
Where’s the humanity? Aren’t we all hovering around the same end? Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises That aren’t real enough to be kept You wish me a speedy recovery But when you turn I plumb the depths
And God rest, God please rest our souls This is the surest exit I have known We’ve been hurting for a while Can we cut ourselves some slack And let us lie down, let us lie down Let us lie down, let me lie down
