Just say yes to saying no
You know not to say yes
All these yeses don’t you know
Have led us to this mess
Now excess has brought us low
Exacerbates distress
Just impress us with a show
We need to decompress
While selling their chemi-cures
Declared on drugs a war
Out shelling only assures
Their profits equal more
So telling justice demurs
When the law hits the floor
We’re smelling the best manures
As they show us the door
They get us hooked on dope
Death rattle of Pharmageddon
Nobody just says nope
Dubious recommendation
Proffering us more medication
Instruction on insanitation
Mandating us all vaccination
Through corporate machination
Political manipulation
Swallow the official narration
Wash it down with a nice lie-bation
Subject to corporate predation
Accountant’s determination
Never question the motivation
When money’s in consideration
Sedation sold as salvation
They’ll subsidize your cremation
Health ain’t part of the equation
Wealth the devout consummation
Health ain’t part of the equation
Wealth the devout consummation
No battle of Armageddon
They get us hooked on dope
Death rattle of Pharmageddon
Through chemistry we cope
Since Operation Paperclip
The Nazis ruled our science
They help us to our final trip
Or foster our reliance
Into dependency slip
Diminish our defiance
The sound of the IV drip
Our chemical compliance
The FDA approves the ills
Which lead to our addiction
Big Pharma provides us pills
Which advance this affliction
People cave to TV shills
And advertising fiction
It’s the legal shit that kills
The Cure, a contradiction
Servitude through chemistry
Substantial dependency
Enslaved by the pharmacy
Addiction as our destiny
Indentured depravity
It’s us or them but never we
The cause to cure our misery
No addict is truly free
No battle of Armageddon
They got us hooked on dope
Death rattle of Pharmageddon
Proffer scaffold, provide rope

An excellent encapsulation of an unfortunate truth that is more relevant now than ever. Unfortunately… this reality has impacted plenty, altered many and damaged most. Bravo Arturo on composing our powerlessness into this powerful piece! (along with the artwork which is equally superb and fitting) 👍
Wow, that’s powerful. Great job on the Lyrics and that picture is pure joy, like an action scene where the hero evades bombs. I love it, keep up the great work
