Brad Borch - The Pusherman
You can tell the pusherman
He has a pill for what you got
Just don't ask if it's
Effective or not
Or how many users
Died from this drug
We'll sweep that data
Under the rug
All the studies and the stats
Manipulated and distorted
You will never hear the truth
It just doesn't get reported
It's got a list of side effects
As long as your arm
So whatever happened to
Do no harm
You can tell the pusherman
Stethoscope lab coat
He used to care but big pharma's
Got him by the throat
His compassion's growing cold
He's got med school bills
So he's doing as he is told
Pushing pills that kill
Want a second opinion
You're out of luck
You'll never hear about if
If he can't make a buck
If you're healthy or you're dead
He don't make a cent
The sick and the ill
That's who pays the rent
He don't want you healthy
Don't want you to thrive
'Cause he gets wealthy
Keeping you barely a live
Damn the pusherman
You can tell the pusherman
Armani suit white collar
He'd sell his own mother
For another dirty dollar
Don't matter what he markets
He'll convince you you need it
Got a huge expense account
He expects you to feed it
You can tell the pusherman
Cause he bought the most votes
Put his hand on the Bible
And swore a sacred oath
He is in it for the con
Making deals behind the walls
Sold out to lobbyists
Now they've got him by the scruples
Want a second opinion
You're out of luck
You'll never hear about if
If he can't make a buck
If you're healthy or you're dead
He don't make a cent
The sick and the ill
That's who pays the rent
He don't want you healthy
Don't want you to thrive
'Cause he gets wealthy
Keeping you barely a live
Damn the pusherman
Side effects of
Listening to this song
May include disturbing
Realizations about
The medical system
Which may be unsettling
For individuals
Accustomed to being told
What to think and do
Don't ask your doctor
If it's right for you
Don't ask anyone
If it's right for you
Decide for yourself
