Scientists all gather around
White coats abound
Telling us what they have found
Telling us that it is profound.
A new treatment for this or that
Hiding details like big old rats
Side effects that are really crap
Pretending we don’t care about that.
Other details left out too
Like clinical trials that didn’t do
The job without some added brew
That they aren’t going to give to you.
Who will read that stuff they say
No one suspects us to play
With words we use to get us paid
These white coats let us have our way.
New drugs are the white coats game.
TV hasn’t been the same
Drug us all is their lofty aim
Drug us all is a money game.
Smoking drugs tell us there’s hope
Actually make us all dopes
Don’t speak the truth or the real
Trying to make tons of money on the deal.
New drugs create bloody rain
Livers die and strokes are gained
People are never the same
Losers in the new drug game.
Human biology so complex
White coats still remain perplexed
While pretending to have the perfect hex
Scribble out another RX.
Not all drugs are bad it’s true
Many have helped me and you
Just be careful what you do
If you don’t need it don’t ensue
Ingestion of any new brew.
