Lyrics
Verse 1
Blue pills
Little round tablets
Sitting on the breakfast tray
Counting out five
Swallow them dry
The belly starts to churn
It starts to twist
Liquid fire
Heavy heat
The stomach growls
The stomach screams
The stomach shakes
Chorus
Running for the hall
Running for the door
I cannot take no more
I cannot take no more
The medicine is working
But the price is far too high
Too high
Too high
Verse 2
Cold sweat
Beaded on my forehead
Pale like a ghost in the mirror
Sudden
Urgent
Pounding on the porcelain lid
Metformin blues
Metformin rain
The cramps come back
They never leave
They hunt me down
They break my will
Chorus
Running for the hall
Running for the door
I cannot take no more
I cannot take no more
The medicine is working
But the price is far too high
Too high
Too high
Bridge
A1C is dropping
Glucose levels falling
Bathroom walls are closing in
I'm fine
I'm sick
I'm tired
Checking the clock
Checking the paper
Checking the lock
Chorus
Running for the hall
Running for the door
I cannot take no more
I cannot take no more
The medicine is working
But the price is far too high
Too high
Too high
Outro
Five hundred milligrams
Too much for a man
Too much for me
Just let me be
Let me be
Let me be
