Lyrics

Verse 1
Please don’t call me an idiot, just because I won’t be a part of it.
I’d rather live my life enjoyin my time, singin my songs like old John Prine.
I don’t want to take no medicines, I really don’t know what they’re throwin in.
But this is my life so make no doubt, I’ll choose my own way out. And…

For years they’ve told us how to just say no, but they lied when they told us where the no should go.

Verse 2
I don’t know if their stuff is good or bad, but given their record I’d say we’re all had.
With all their drugs and their side effects, they’re turning healthy bodies into human wrecks.

Repeat chorus

Verse 3

I know the sun don’t shine beneath the trees, and that’s where I’d rather be. Still…

Repeat chorus
