Gavin DeGraw - Medicate The Kids Lyrics

Tell 'em say no to drugs, substances make you dumb
Then you say give 'em some
Are you the victim of this experience
Child experiment, teacher's predicament?
You're in the system

And if you don't walk the line you can walk the plank
You older brother wants to control your mind
You're more useful blank

Medicate the kids, feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids, powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out and nothing you can't kill

Why don't you just back off of us before we go crazy?
I'm gonna tell you no way, this ain't fair play
Just don't medicate me

Tell 'em say no to drugs, substances make you dumb
Unless you get 'em from someone who loves you
One who knows best for you, paid for those tests for you
Knows how to get you through
When it's above you

And you can't get on top 'cause it's high to climb
You hear 'em saying don't make me call the cops
Every other time

Medicate that kid, feathers turn to quills
Pump 'em full of training fluids, powders and pills
There's nothing you can't flush out and nothing you can't kill

Why don't you just back off of us before we go crazy?
I'm gonna tell you no way, this ain't fair play
Just don't medicate me

And there's a long line flowing from prescription aisles
Filed through legal means so we could alter the child
For his protection tie him to extension cords
This is the age of discipline

Why don't you just back off of us before we go crazy?
Why don't you just back off of us before we go crazy?
Why don't you just back off of us before we go crazy?
Why don't you just back off of us before we go crazy?
