[Verse 1]
Mama got depressed when Daddy was a-dying
So the doctor gave her something to help her with her crying
Then she couldn't sleep, so he gave her something else
Now there's yellow, red and pink on her bathroom shelf

[Refrain]
Says if one won't work, then another one will
If you got a little hurt, you take a little pill

[Verse 2]
Fella down the road walks with a limp
He's a decorated soldier and a pain pill pimp
Got a loaded gun and an old pit bull
A black Cadillac with a whole trunk full

[Refrain]
Says if one won't work, then another one will
If you got a little hurt, you take a little pill

[Chorus]
Lay it on your tongue
Ain't a nerve that can't be numb
Ain't a buzz that you can't buy
Ain't a low you can't make high
'Til it wears off like it always will
And when it does, you take a little pill
[Post-Chorus]
Woah
Woah

[Bridge]
You don't need a needle, you don't need a vein
No burn like whiskey, no cost like cocaine
If you ever lose a lover or you wanna lose some weight
What you can't cure, you can medicate

[Refrain]
If one won't work, then another one will
If you got a little hurt, you take a little pill

[Chorus]
Lay it on your tongue
Ain't a nerve that can't be numb
Ain't a buzz that you can't buy
Ain't a low you can't make high
'Til it wears off like it always will
And when it does, you take a little pill

[Post-Chorus]
Woah
Woah
