I’m trying to slow my mind down
But it just laughs at me
I’m taking mind-slow tablets
We battle, mind and me
The GP says lets up the dose
To slow your neurons down
Seems they’ve become acclimatised
To pills, white, purple, brown
While dose-ups they might fix some things
The danger is addiction
Which may not have the best effect
On ones living condition
