The Best Drug
Skirmish: tbd (@dudachris)Liner Notes
Lyrics
Reality is a headache Reality is a pain Reality gets into your liver Reality gets into your brain
Some people are born with it Some catch it on the bus It’s no wonder we all worry What’s gonna happen to us
Love is the best drug for what you’ve got Love is the thing Love is the best drug for what you’ve got And all the children sing
They sing Love love love Love love love Love
Reality is not a death sentence Reality can be cured Easy for me to say Try to keep your thinking pure
Some people try pure fruit sugar Some people just try to be kind I like to drink plenty of water Whatever is good for your mind
Love is the best drug for what you’ve got Love is the thing Love is the best drug for what you’ve got And all the children sing
They sing Love love love Love love love Love
They sing Love love love Love love love Love
Comments
There is so much strength in these lines: Some people try pure fruit sugar Some people just try to be kind I like to drink plenty of water Whatever is good for your mind
Wonderful images in this song, such as some people catching reality on the bus. You talk about how detrimental reality is, yet this is a song of hope. "Reality can be cured." And the idea of having the children singing "love, love, love" brings such a sweetness and purity to the hope. Great skirmish song!
