There you go
You take your medicine even though
Acetaminophen will control
Nearly everything that you know
Ah well, it's not enough

Everybody says you're so messed up
But you're no idiot on the sidelines
Take a chance on a modern drug
And maybe you'll survive the night
(Alright)

It's amazing what they do today with
Animals and chemicals and make up
Looking good to me, so hit the pavement
Hard to say you're not already famous

If there's a place you should be
Call the ambulance and they'll take you there for free
Try to look as sick as you on the magazine
Take a trip on the down side
Ah well, it's not enough

Everybody says you're so messed up
But you're no idiot on the sidelines
Take a chance on a modern drug
And maybe you'll survive the night
(Oh, yeah)

It's amazing what they do today with
Animals and chemicals and make up
Looking good to me, so hit the pavement
Hard to say you're not already famous

You say you wanna try
But you can't get it right
You think that you're so bright
Why do the same thing twice?
If you can take your life
Then you can fake a smile
Even when you die, yeah, it's not enough
