  • I don't know much but I know this for certain
    And that is the sun poking its head 'round the curtain
    Now please can we leave, I'd like to go to bed now
    It's not just the sun that is hurting my head now
    I'm not trying to say that I'm smelling of roses
    But when will we tire of putting shit up our noses
    I don't like staying up, staying up past the sunlight
    It's meant to be fun and this just doesn't feel right

    Why can't we all, all just be honest
    Admit to ourselves that everyone's on it
    From grown politicians to young adolescents
    Prescribing themselves anti-depressants
    Now how can we start to tackle the problem
    If you don't put your hands up and admit that you're on them
    The kids are in danger, they're all getting habits
    From what I can see everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it

    I get involved but I'm not advocating
    Got an opinion, yeah you're well up for slating
    So you've got a prescription and that makes it legal
    Now find the excuses overwhelmingly feeble
    You go to the doctor, you need pills for sleeping
    Well if you can convince him, I guess that's not cheating
    See your daughter's depressed we'll get her straight on the Prozac
    But little do you know, she already takes crack

    Why can't we all, all just be honest
    Admit to ourselves that everyone's on it
    From grown politicians to young adolescents
    Prescribing themselves anti-depressants
    Now how can we start to tackle the problem
    If you don't put your hands up and admit that you're on them
    The kids are in danger, they're all getting habits
    From what I can see everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it

    Everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it

    Why can't we all, all just be honest
    Admit to ourselves that everyone's on it
    From grown politicians to young adolescents
    Prescribing themselves anti-depressants
    Now how can we start to tackle the problem
    If you don't put your hands up and admit that you're on them
    The kids are in danger, they're all getting habits
    From what I can see everyone's at it

    Everyone's at it
    Everyone's at it
