"There's a Pill for That"




headache or heartache; weight up or down
fungus or fever; face in frown
helpless or tired; skin with a red rash
anxious or cold; a nighttime hot flash
grab a cure-all; or rub a lotion
pop an antidote; or down potion
drink elixir; or chew sweet tablets
suck a lozenge; or swallow pellets
foolish and stupid; minds closed to truth
shallow and stubborn; creeds blight our youth
righteous and pure; their justice is small
cruel and petty; their views destroy all
grab a cure-all; or rub a lotion
pop an antidote; or down potion
drink elixir; or chew sweet tablets
suck a lozenge; or swallow pellets
