Quiet Hollers
Medicine
I never felt it so bad that I needed medicine
‘cause it was only now and then
Never half as bad as yours

I never thought it lived inside your genes or anything
And it was just a minor thing
Maybe thirteen times or more

I never felt it so bad that I needed medicine
But I thought maybe I’d go in
‘cause I was running off the last of my fair-weather friends
Never half as bad as yours

I never saw the lights go out so quick on anything
And I mean anything
Put that knife back in the drawer

You’d like to believe that there’s a pill for everything
For any problem
But you can’t even tell me where you got 'em
I never felt it so bad that I needed medicine
But I was on the fence again
Give me half of one of yours
