FDA DOA

(album: Blockchain Planet - 2021)

Fentanyl, opioids
Xanny bars, glorified
By puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made
Catching souls
FDA DOA free yourself

Glorify abuse of prescription medications
Lil Peep could have still been making music I'm just saying
That marketing drives everything the FDA approved it
Purdue made a billion building addicts and they knew it
Was deadly, as communities withered
They trigged the endorphins in our neurotransmitters
Sold us OxyContin, said it was not additive
And told us we were weak if we some how couldn't quit it
And it's insane, did we not learn from Kurt Cobain?
Romanticizing tragedy, again and again
It's complicated, addiction takes people often
Whitney Houston, Juice WRLD, Philip Seymour Hoffman
Fentanyl killed Prince, Mac Miller, and Tom Petty
As streaming profits grow steady, the labels all were ready
And I'm not blaming the artists, when managers enable
Sliding pills as a signing bonus underneath the table

Fentanyl, opioids
Xanny bars, glorified
By puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made
Catching souls
FDA DOA free yourself

And when you lock up a generation for a year
On their phones as the algorithms feed them stress and fear
And curated content that celebrates escape
Mental health starts to fade, they designed it this way
I've lost family to addiction, I've lost friends to suicide
As they bottle up the product, you can't bottle it inside
Pandemics, epidemics, can we last another year?
You can finally feel your feelings when your mind is free and clear
And when the planet stopped and the Dow Jones dropped
And the virus hatched and the draw bridge latched
And the schools all closed and we worked from home
They bought Roblox stock as they monitored our phones
And when they cut supply they increased demand
And now they sell it on the streets as the market trades hands
And when Narcan is late, we pay all debts
Bringing profits to the prophets cashing checks

Fentanyl, opioids
Xanny bars, glorified
By puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made
Catching souls
FDA DOA free yourself

Fentanyl, opioids
Xanny bars, glorified
By puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made
Catching souls
FDA DOA free yourself

Rappers glorify abuse of prescription medications
Lil Peep could have still been making music I'm just saying
That marketing drives everything the FDA approved it
Purdue made a billion building addicts and they knew it
