Cure the Status-Quo

by Carmen Laughs Like God

They'll label you Try to give you drugs that disable you Saying this will never hurt, its to save you But it cures you Cures you from not following the status quo Wipe out all the truth you may know Crayon color if it kills you Then they'll steal you Saying the pills will only thrill you Arrest me cause I just want to be healthy I don't want take the drugs that will bury me I don't want my mind to be chemically impressed
