Prozac People

I woke up in the darkness and i tried to see the clock

It was four a.m.

I was curled up like a foetus and my muscles were stretched taut

I couldn't face the burden of another week of worry

I was broken

I took a green and yellow pill. washed down with filter coffee

'til it kicked in

Get me out

Keep me up

Level me out

I was isolated by the way i thought and felt

They saw my moodswings

I travelled down the longitude of opposite emotions

I bi-polar

In the north they saw my upside. my excitable and optimistic spirit

In the south they saw my anger and my tears and my despair

They saw my moodswings

Get me out

Keep me up

Level me out

I was one of the prozac people

I was one of the prozac people

Don't monitor this guinea pig for research any more

I will try again

Pharmaceutical conglomerates just count me as a unit

For their product

Identify the enemy. remove the source of fear

Start to change my life

It's a false state of elation

You can join the prozac nation

If you want to

Get me out

Keep me up

Level me out

I was one of the prozac people

I was one of the prozac people
