Pearl Jam – Gonna See My Friend

”do you wanna hear something sick?
we are but victims of desire
i’m gonna shake this thing
i wanna shake this pain before i retire

i’m gonna see my friend, i’m gonna see my friend
make it go away
i’m sick of everything, i’m gonna see my friend
make it go away”

And that makes it legal.

Overwhelmingly feeble.

You go to the doctor,
You need pills to sleep in.

Then I guess that’s not cheating.

So your daughter’s depressed,
We’ll get her straight on the prozac.
But little do you know,
She already takes crack.”
