FDA Approved

Intro

Yeah… listen close

This ain’t paranoia — it’s corruption in plain sight [Verse 1 – Rap]

They say “FDA approved,” like it’s blessed by holy light

but the devil wears a lab coat and signs in black and white

Every pill got a warning that’s longer than your life

side effects look worse than the thing you’re tryna fight

You got nausea, seizures, mood swings, collapse

heartbreak, vision loss, suicidal relapse

and buried in the fine print — tucked where you can’t see —

the words: “may cause death,” and that’s legally free

Profits climb while your vitals fall flat

shareholders smiling like they engineered that

They don’t cure — they manage symptoms for cash

keep you sick enough to need ‘em till the moment you crash

Pre-Chorus

They call it healthcare, but the bill’s got teeth

You can die on the steps while they guard the gate keys

Chorus – Rock

Death is FDA approved

life ain’t covered unless your credit card moves

You want healing? Better hope you got a plan

’cause the price of survival’s higher than the promised land

Death is FDA approved

in the world of the sick, the rich get to choose

If the cure grows wild at the edge of the woods

they’ll call it illegal before it does you any good

Verse 2 – Rap

Painkillers hit harder than the reasons you hurt

opioids turn saints into ghosts in the dirt

Doctors get bonuses for addictive prescriptions

while families get funeral bills and afflictions The system ain’t broken — it’s working as designed

keep the healthy frightened and the wounded in line Insulin is up 600 percent

the formula’s a century old — it shouldn't cost a fuckin cent Cancer patients sellin' homes just to stay alive

while their IV drip is marked up five hundred times

Radiation burns while the debt goes higher

but the plant in your backyard? “Not enough studies prior.”

Bridge – Spoken/Rap

Ain’t it funny how “not enough evidence”

always means “not enough profit”?

Chorus – Rock

Death is FDA approved

life ain’t covered unless your credit card moves

You want healing? Better hope you got a plan

’cause the price of survival’s higher than the promised land

Death is FDA approved

in the world of the sick, the rich get to choose

If the cure grows wild at the edge of the woods

they’ll call it illegal before it does you any good

Verse 3 – Rap

Lobbyists write laws with a fountain pen grin

scientists get silenced if they won’t cash in

Revolving door regulators come and go quick —

one day they oversee you, next day they’re CEO rich

Off-label marketing turn humans into marks

side effects hit harder than the pain in your heart

We treat trauma with chemicals, grief with a pill

then wonder why we’re numb and can’t feel [Outro Verse – Rap]

You hear their promises but feel the weight in your chest [Coda – Rap/Rock]

We’re not numbers on a chart, not lines in a file

They sold us bandages but bled us all the while

If health is a privilege, then justice is fake

There’s nothing left to lose when there’s nothing they won’t

Extended Outro – Rap/Rock

We’re torching the silence, these words are the spark

drag the secrets from shadows, expose every dark

We built up the courage they swore we would lack

turn suffering to fury, and fear into fact

They promise a future, but bleed us in time,

patents on pain, making sickness a crime

No faith in their system, but faith in the crowd —

we gather our voices and shout it out loud:

Final Chant – Group Vocals

If health is a right, then this fight’s not done

we’ll break every lock, we aren’t the only ones

Our scars are the proof, our hope is the fuse —

lift up the fallen, give power to the used [Chorus – Rock]

Death is FDA approved,

life ain’t covered unless your credit card moves.

You want healing? Better hope you got a plan,

’cause the price of survival’s higher than the promised land.

Death is FDA approved,

in the world of the sick, the rich get to choose.

If the cure grows wild at the edge of the woods,

they’ll call it illegal before it does you any good.

Death is FDA approved,

life ain’t covered unless your credit card moves.

You want healing? Better hope you got a plan,

’cause the price of survival’s higher than the promised land.

Death is FDA approved,

in the world of the sick, the rich get to choose.

If the cure grows wild at the edge of the woods,

they’ll call it illegal before it does you any good.

Extended Outro Verse – Rap/Rock

We wake to alarms, but the signal’s inside

truth in our veins that we’re no longer denied

System built fences, but we broke through the line

unity’s louder than dollars or lies Taught us to swallow what couldn’t be said

now our voices are rising from all those they bled

Ain’t selling silence, we’re here for the call

turn our pain into power, stand up or crawl

Rebellion Chant

Raise your fist for the fallen and the used

your anger is sacred, your hope is the fuse

If healing is justice, then justice is near

our hands on each other, dissolving the fear

Final Word – Spoken

This story ain’t finished – we’re the next page

Revolt is a

Final Rally – Rap/Rock

We rise from statistics, we burn up their charts

the fire in our voices came straight from our scars

no more silence for sale, no permission required

when the ones they tried dosing become the ones who inspire

These corporations trembling, afraid of the crowds

when the powerless gather, we scream it out loud

snatch back the right to breathe, rewrite what they planned

‘cause healing ain’t business—you don’t patent the land

Power! [Group Chant]

Power to the patient, justice to the street

we’ll rip down the walls that profit from our need

No dollar can measure the value of breath

this fight is for the living—and the memory of death

Resist Outro – Spoken

We never needed a savior to sign on a line

We just needed each other—we’ll decide what’s right
