Wake up to a cloudy day Dark rolls in and it starts to rain Staring out to the cage-like walls Time goes by and the shadows crawl Crushin' candy crushin' pills Got no job, mom pays my bills Textin' ex's get my fill Sweatin' bullets, Netflix-chills World's out there singin' the blues Twenty more dead on the evening news Think to myself "really, what's the use?" I'm just like you, I was born to lose Why oh why can't you just fix me? When all I want's to feel numb But the medication's all done Why oh why does God hate me? When all I want's to get high And forget this so-called life I am so freakin' bored Nothin' to do today I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate) I am so freakin' bored Nothing to do today I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate) Can't wait to feel better than I ever will Attack that shit like a kid on Benadryl Chase it down with a hopeful smile Hate myself, if I can go for miles They say family's all you need Someone to trust can help you breathe Inhale that drug, but you start to choke You follow the outs of an inside joke Why oh why can't you just fix me? When all I want's to feel numb But the medication's all done Why oh why does God hate me? 'Cause I've seen enough of it, heard enough of it, felt enough of it Had enough of it! I am so freakin' bored Nothing to do today I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate) I am so freakin' bored Nothing to do today I guess I'll sit around and medicate Medicate Medicate Medicate Medicate Superman is a hero But only when his mind is clear though He needs that fix like the rest of us So he's got no fear when he saves that bus All the stars in the Hollywood Hills Snapchat live while they pop them pills All those flavors of the rainbow Too bad that shit don't work though Your friends are high right now Your parents are high right now That hot chick's high right now That cop is high right now The president's high right now Your priest is high right now Everyone's high as f*ck right now And no one's ever coming down I am so freakin' bored Nothing to do today I guess I'll sit around and medicate (medicate) I am so freakin' bored Nothing to do today I guess I'll sit around and medicate Medicate Medicate Medicate Medicate I medicate
