Testo Wonder Drug
Testo Wonder Drug
Shakespeare in study hall
Percocet and some Adderall
Doctor called it a wonder drug
Ripped a page from the Book of Job
I remember you innocent
Now all you are is bones and skin
With your father's temperament Still paying off that original sin
And it never gets easier
Remember, we had it all planned out
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now
Thinking somehow it was something I did
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
Took more than I ever could give
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug
It's the straw and the camel's back
I'm so angry and I feel bad
Was it God or your parents, or the small town that raised you?
I held your face in my hands But I still couldn't break through
Remember, we had it all planned out
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now
Thinking somehow it was something I did
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
Grabs hold with the hand that it gives
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug?
Why couldn't you run to love?
Why couldn't you run to love?
I wasn't paying attention when
The roof was steady, the walls came in
Blue-collar life and all its weight
I was right there and I was too late
I was too late
I was too late
Too late
Percocet and some Adderall
Doctor called it a wonder drug
Ripped a page from the Book of Job
I remember you innocent
Now all you are is bones and skin
With your father's temperament Still paying off that original sin
And it never gets easier
Remember, we had it all planned out
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now
Thinking somehow it was something I did
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
Took more than I ever could give
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug
It's the straw and the camel's back
I'm so angry and I feel bad
Was it God or your parents, or the small town that raised you?
I held your face in my hands But I still couldn't break through
Remember, we had it all planned out
A fenced-in yard, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now
Thinking somehow it was something I did
It's a monster, I know it, its fangs started showing
Grabs hold with the hand that it gives
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug?
Why couldn't you run to love?
Why couldn't you run to love?
I wasn't paying attention when
The roof was steady, the walls came in
Blue-collar life and all its weight
I was right there and I was too late
I was too late
I was too late
Too late
