Below are the words from the poem "Pushers", written and performed by Sean Grant.
Pushers
They say you're crazy
But hey
What do they know.
They can't really be sure
So they solicit the opinion of doctors
To see if they concur
And they do
Which means you
Are crazy
It's true
And they prefer if you get crazyer
because pushing pills for profit is their main concern.
When they claim you're mentally insane
Unspoken words of judgement
Are mentally exchanged
So they prescribe drugs to medicate the pain
But those pills are just a sedative
And meant to be your chains
Peddled by the pushers hell bent on making change.
So they see that nothing changes
So your symptoms will remain
They place you in a ward
You'd do better in a cage
Any complaints
They just say your crazy and deranged
Mis-diagnosis
leads to comatosis
but they just shrug their shoulders
and it happens once again.
woman suffering from menopause is feeling off
so she's told that her depression is solved with zoloft.
But of course
She's not really depressed
She's just stressed
And in turmoil
Cause her hormones have changed
Now she's deemed insane
And now she's worse off
They're pushers
Peddelers of the black magic
that are supposed to help you
when you feel blue.
But save your allegations
any litigation is tied up in red tape
Cause when money is at stake
They'll make sure their bank statements stay in the black
Even at the expense of you
They're pushers
No need for the corners
when they have corner offices
pushing product with no concern for its consequences
they bottle it and top it with cotton picked
by the very people who they intend to swallow it.
Slaves to the FDA approved
Phds abusing their degrees
To bleed the last bit of sanity
Out of the mentally abused.
Crooks selling goods
Cooked in Pyrex pots
That are then coated and sold
On blocks of those in low income households
Through a healthcare system
Where they inlist doctors
To peddle product
To the unassuming and downtrodden
And all they need to do is suggest that
You are mentally unfit
And send you to a mental institution
So that you can
Be given their pills every day at 10
And 2
Pm
7
am and noon.
But how could one doctor have that much power?
Hes trippin
trippin off the power
that hes givin
hes living off the powder
I know
This pills hard to swallow
Cause what they speak is seeming greek
And Their not changing one iota
Cause their kappa tal
Is an alpha bull dog
And that's just the beginning
There is no happy ending
Aka
No omega for you.
They say you're crazy
But hey
What do they know.
They can't really be sure
So they solicit the opinion of doctors
To see if they concur
And they do
Which means you
Are crazy
It's true
And they prefer if you get crazyer
because pushing pills for profit is their main concern.
But Trust me,
I'm not saying all pills are prescribed
Un justly
I'm just saying that there must be something wrong
When a child with an excessive imagination is sedated
By giving him ridilin in high doses
Supposedly to balance him
Because it seems too difficult for the faculty to handle him.
Or when one is so shy that he must be hiding a mental condition and if he ever gets excited he must be bi polar
Or a manic depressant cause he happens to keep all his thoughts inside of him.
So medicine is given to solve a problem where one isn't.
And then the side effects cause symptoms which require more medical intervention.
Are you kidding
Listen
if anyone is here dealing with this today
Just trust me when I claim
That I mean no disrespect
And I truly truly understand
And I'm sorry I can't explain
I just want you to know the truth
And what they aim to do
lead you to the edge of sanity
then give you a gentle nudge.
And push you off the roof
Cause Their pushers
And that's what they do.
They call you crazy
But hey
What do they know.
They can't really be sure
So they solicit the opinion of doctors
To see if they concur
And they do
Which means you
Are crazy
It's true
And they prefer if you get crazyer
because pushing pills for profit is their main concern.
