First Prescription

When I was brought up in the classroom
I wasn't calm at all
I'd speak my own opinions
I'd be bouncing off the walls
the teacher had enough of me
and one day she made the call
to send me to the doctor
and fix up what she thought was wrong

He gave me a prescription
and my family agreed
I'd try it in the classroom
and see if it was right for me

When I was on my medication
the teacher, she was pleased
I'd calmly sit and do whatever
it was she asked of me

And those days
never seem to change
no no no

All my life has been a lonely road
since I was eight years old
I was eight years old
forced to do what I was told
since I was eight years old

La da dum da da
La da dum da da

Now my own opinions
didn't flow so easily
I'd do what I was told
but lacked creativity

It went on for years
and my friends, they all agreed
I was like a walking zombie
nothing close to the old me

And those days
never seem to change
no no no

‘Cause all my life has been a lonely road
since I was eight years old
I was eight years old
forced to do what I was told
since I was eight years old

La da dum da da
La da dum da da

When I turned fifteen
I realised what they gave to me
could make me money on the streets
that I could spend on better things
I got the best dope I could buy
and resold it just to keep me high
now I sing a junkie's lullaby
No no no
La da dum da da

All my life has been a lonely road
since I was eight years old
I was eight years old
forced to do what I was told
since I was eight years old

I got my first prescription
at eight years old
I tell my story from the bedroom
where I overdosed

Starting at eight years old
