Medicate The Kids - Gavin Degraw

Tell 'em say no to drugs
Substances make you dumb
Then you say give 'em some
Are you the victim of this experience
Child experiment teacher's predicament
You're in the system
And if you don't walk the line
You can walk the plank
You older brother wants to control your mind
You're more useful blank
Medicate the kids feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids
Powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out
And nothing you can't kill
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
I'm gonna tell you no way this ain't fair play
Just don't medicate me
Tell 'em say no to drugs
Substances make you dumb
Unless you get 'em from someone
Who loves you
One who knows best for you
Paid for those tests for you
Knows how to get you through
When it's above you
And you can't get on top
'Cause it's high to climb
You hear 'em saying
Don't make me call the cops
Every other time
Medicate that kid feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids
Powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out
And nothing you can't kill
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
I'm gonna tell you no way this ain't fair play
Just don't medicate me
And there's a long line flowing
From prescription aisles
Filed through legal means
So we could alter the child
For his protection tie him to extension cords
This is the age of discipline
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
Why don't you just back off of us
Before we go crazy
