Take a Little Pill - Brandy Clark

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

Says if one don’t work

Then another one will

If you got a little hurt

You take a little pill

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

Says if one don’t work

Then another one will

If you got a little hurt

You take a little pill

Lay 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

Woah

Woah

You don’t need a needle

You don’t need a vein

No burn like whiskey

No cross like cocaine

If you ever lose a lover

Or you wanna lose some weight

What you can’t cure

You can medicate

If one don’t work

Then another one will

If you got a little hurt

You take a little pill

Lay 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

Woah

Woah
