The Drugs You Need

by Dave Saunders on August 13, 2007

Just in case you haven’t seen this video yet, it’s very cute and creative.

It certainly does represent the way we are made to believe that we NEED some of these dugs on the market today.

After watching this video, pick up the book "Selling Sickness" on Amazon.com for a real shocker about the reality of how the drug companies have sometimes been caught inventing conditions in order to sell their drugs and how some, specific people in high positions at the NIH and FDA have participated in it.

 

And out of a fit of late-night boredom, here are the lyrics.

You’ve got a headache
And I’ve got some strange disease
Don’t worry about it
This pill will set your mind at ease

It’s called Progenitorivox
It’s made by SquabbMerlCo
It’s a life enhancing miracle
But there are some things you should know

It may cause agitation
Palpitations
Excessive salivation
Constipation
Male lactation
Rust colored urination
Hallucinations
Bad vibrations
Mild electric shock sensations
But it’s worth it
For the drugs I need

My disease may not be fatal
But I can ease my fears
By taking two twelve dollar pills
Each day for fifty years
They’ve spent billions to convince me
So now I realize
Progenitorivox
Beats diet and exercise!

I’ve got insurance
At least for now I do
And if I buy generic
It would cut my cost in two
But I want Progenitorivox!
‘cause I saw it on TV
Those families look so functional
That paisley pill’s for me

But it may cause
Depravation
Humiliation
Debtor’s prison and deportation
Dark depictions
Dire predictions
Life as seen in Dickens fiction
Empty pocket
Court dockets
May cause eyes to pop from sockets
But it’s worth it
For the drugs I need
But it’s worth it…
In Canada, they get this for a song!
But it’s worth it
For the drugs I need

and finally, during the ending credits is the disclaimer for the drug. It’s probably the best part…

    Couldn’t wait to send it to all my friends. I have gotten off all medications, not that I took that many, but I don’t like taking any of them. I’m a natural girl now and hope to continue living my life that way. Thanks for the good laugh! Willene
