Witchdoctor

The idea that a pill can fix you when ill

Is just part of tradition

Today, few are a fan of a medicine man

It\'s considered superstition

Not long ago, bloodletting was the way to go

A pseudoscientific rendition

Today, drug companies or a physician, take the position

That medicine is the only decision

We must rely on the chemicals they supply

Which treat only symptoms not your condition

Although antidepressants, we know, are no better than a placebo

They are still advertised on television

Side effects could be obesity or impotency

To criticize them is called sedition

They can leave you zombified with no desire inside

With little emotion or ambition

What is worse, is the pharmaceutical curse

They can leave you with an addiction

Millions of years of evolution has given us the solution

The body is its own best physician
