There's a cure for every letdown
There's a pill for every hurt
And I never could grow attached to pain
God bless the scientists
Redefining happiness
As a twelve-hour release tablet, yeah
Oh, yeah
Give, give me the painless life
Take the edges off a serrated knife
I'm never gonna let it get through my skin
Nothing going out, nothing coming in
Gonna put up four walls of stone
And feel so good down to the bone
For a little while, I will feel so brave
Riding on the crest of this chemical wave
You had me before hello
Eyes far away and shallow
And the conversation was so brief
God bless the scientists
Redefining happiness
As a twelve-hour release tablet, yeah
Oh, yeah
Give, give me the painless life
Take the edges off a serrated knife
I'm never gonna let it get through my skin
Nothing going out, nothing coming in
Gonna put up four walls of stone
And feel so good down to the bone
For a little while, I will feel so brave
Riding on the crest of this chemical wave
