Magic Pill Lyrics

Magic Pill

I slide out of bed from an almost sleepless night

Into my morning coffee where my thoughts run rife

It's just like yesterday, tomorrow will be the same

With my daily recipe of aches and pains

There's a routine that draws me to the end of the day

Where I'm plodding on and nodding off along the way

Yeah, it's hard to concentrate these days, even harder to piss

Nobody told me getting old would be like this

Nobody told me getting old would be like this

But there's a scientific truth and I'm prepared to follow it

That'll take me to my rescue while I can still swallow it

I want my magic pill

So I can take advantage of every thrill

That'll totally kill every ill

I want my magic pill

I used to stagger down the road and sit there on the bench

With others of our mold on our daily big adventure

We could share our trials and our tribulations

Even some of our medical catastrophes

But our numbers started dropping off

New accommodations and from what some people say

Has to be, simply has to be

Yet, I consider myself a fighter but I'm running out of ammunition

And time is getting tighter in this war of attrition

But before they come to claim me I'll struggle on until

Technology can save me with that one simple pill

I want my magic pill

To give me the wonder, to give me the will

I'll take the bundle, I'll pay the bill

For my magic pill

So I can take advantage of every thrill

That'll totally kill every ill

I want my magic pill, my magic pill
