lyrics

Some folks they like to drink vodka straight
Some prefer vermouth on ice
Some like to smoke on a spliff or two
Some’ll tell you that ain’t right
You go to a shrink you get a valium pill
Get you feeling less uptight
My advice: you take whatever you can take
To get you through the night

Get you through the night
Feel a little less aggrieved
You find a new aesthetic
Anesthetic
You’re pretty in pain relief

Once upon a time I was a strong young buck
Never even had a cold
I used to run around, I used to cut it up
I was brash, boys, I was bold
But the years they come along, the tears they come along
I got heartsick, and I got old
Doctor helped me see how I could help myself
To take back a little control

Take back a little control
Find some new autonomy
I got a new aesthetic
Anesthetic
I’m pretty in pain relief

Ever come a time when you get overwhelmed
Just check your local pharmacy
Bengay and Gold Bond and Icy Hot
“Natural Herbal Remedy”
But don’t forget the basics: your little white pill
NSAID
Remember when you’re down you’re just a dose away
From pretty in pain relief

Pretty in pain relief
Got your new autonomy
You’ve found a new aesthetic
Anesthetic
You’re pretty in pain relief
