Pills Mickey Mantle rounds the bases I'm cheering from the stands No one rises for the national anthem There's a crisis on hand My friends and I huff paint cans The kids are dressed like Druids It's the 4th of July they're gettin high with embalming fluid I didn't mean to salute the enemy I just forgot where I parked I got Pills in my pocket I've got love in my heart The elect ladies perm their hair They have no recollection Of why the preacher gains 10 lbs After taking up collection I got thrown out of the wedding shower They claimed I misbehaved A salesman hit me with a hotel bible But I did not want to be saved If you call the cops Atleast give me a running start I got pills in my pocket and love in my heart There's a stoning outside the city gates I hear an engines eery sound Ghosts wander thru the desert As blood cries up from the ground I dreamt I read a moral play Aristotle says I missed the point He years out a page from the book of Job and rolls another joint The Victorian police are told they must depart I've I got pills in my pocket and love in my heart The party always gets busted While I'm living in the past Mona Lisa's mascara is running Flags are flying at half mast The prophets And the scientists Are gazing in a crystal ball They're planning stoic suicides PLacing bets on the kingdoms fall Virgins trim their wick as their children curse the dark I've I got pills in my pocket and love in my heart The bandits have disbanded Their mothers are left to weep The poets are blindfolded And the rebels are fast asleep The expressionist evangelist Tearfullly repents There's bake sales at the Capitol for national defense The Swiss accounts are emptied While I'm reading Karl Marx I've I got pills in my pocket and love in my heart A night shift nurse smokes a cigarette She's stranded in self doubt They pulled the plug on an old man- who was Gonna tell her what it's all about On a windy night A lonely girl reads a Greek tragedy She close the door-paces the floor Faces her destiny Through the wall she sings a lullaby To blot out every mark I've I got pills in my pocket and love in my heart Mickey Mantle rounds the bases I'm cheering from the stands No one rises for the national anthem There's a crisis on hand My friends and I huff paint cans The kids are dressed like Druids It's the 4th of July they're getting high with embalming fluid I didn't mean to salute the enemy I just forgot where I parked I got Pills in my pocket I've got love in my heart A janitor goes to heaven A rich man dies in jail I hear America singing They're hammering their last nail The postman can't be trust The mayor is smoking dope There's blood on the hands of the man Who is our only hope Now me I ain't discouraged I just wish my car would start I've got pills in my pocket and love on my heart
