I'll Never Be The Same Lyrics

An elephant's in the room we can't ignore

Affecting everyone whether rich or poor

Hurting millions of people everywhere

Who wants to know, who really cares

Don't trust my doctor to cure my ills

As he prescribes me opioid pills

It's like giving candy to a baby

Once I'm hooked, who will save me, who will save me

They sure help to take away the pain

But man how they screw up my brain

How I need them everyday

I need them more than I can say

They cut off the pain to my brain

But I'll never be the same

I'll never be the same again

They cut off the pain to my brain

But I'll never be the same

I'll never be the same again

You could be big, you could be small

Opioid addiction affects us all

Could be your neighbour or the guy at work

Trying their best to hide their hurt

So many getting rich from other's pain

Their lives will never be the same again

But if they're legal they can't do harm

If you call and I don't answer, please raise the alarm

Don't wanna feel no pain no more

I'll get more from the candy store

Think I'll order more on-line

Won't need to see a doctor this time

They cut off the pain to my brain

But I'll never be the same

I'll never be the same again

They cut off the pain to my brain

But I'll never be the same

I'll never be the same again

Rehab is where I am bound

There's at least one in every big town

They serve cold turkey with four stars

Pay a fortune to stay behind bars

Must go through it to get clean

Might not be nice to know, might get angry and mean

Don't wanna end up like stars in a box

Under a pile of rolling rocks

They sure help to take away the pain

But man how they screw up my brain

How I need them everyday

I need them more than I can say

They cut off the pain to my brain

But I'll never be the same

I'll never be the same again

An elephant's in the room we can't ignore

Affecting everyone whether rich or poor

Hurting millions of people everywhere

Who wants to know, who really cares

Who wants to know, who really cares
