Benjamin Adair Murphy - One Hundred Pills Per Person

100 Pills per person
And I'll never understand
How they could know what they were doing
But not ever give a damn

100 Pills per person
Prescribed to me and you
By Johnston and Johnson
And proscribed by Purdue

And if they could do it all again
You know they'd do it just the same
100 pills per person
And big pharma getting paid

100 Pills per person
And these profits stink of death
This classroom once was filled with kids
Now there's two thirds of them left

They're gone down in Kentucky
They're gone up there in Maine
Families ripped apart
That will never be the same

Mothers taken from their daughters
Fathers taken from their sons
100 Pills per person
And we're nowhere close to done

100 Pills per person
And that greed is here to stay
And if a man starts to run dry
He can get more the next day

100 Pills per person
And nobody in jail
The kids all found their fixes
And their coffins found their nails

They think that they're above the law
But their hands are soaked with blood
They're gonna have to answer
When it's time to be judged
