"The Opioid Diaries" lyrics - THE OFFSPRING

THE OFFSPRING
"The Opioid Diaries"

Their end of days looks more like tomorrow
Their end of days started with a pill
But they're not junkies like the news guy said
They're just kids who've gotten over their heads
Big Pharma hooked them in the first place
And it won't stop

[Chorus:]
Come on Sean, you're on drugs
You're gonna run out of luck
You could still find your way
You know it won't get better

Come on home while you can
I know I don't understand
You could still find your way
You know it won't get better

When those pills are gone, what's gonna happen?
When those pills are gone, what drug is next?
We've made a nation full of kids on dope
They're looking down now at the end of their rope
So now who's gonna come and fix this?
'Cause it won't stop

[Chorus:]
Come on don't tie it off
Be your undoer of knots
If you can't still find your way
You know it won't get better

Come on hold while you can
I know I don't understand
If you can't still find your way
You know it won't get better

[Bridge:]
It won't get better
It won't get better
It won't get better
It won't get better

Now we've made a nation full of kids on dope (dope!)
They're looking down now at the end of their rope (rope!)
So now who's gonna come and fix this?
'Cause it won't stop now!
Yeah!

'Cause they're not junkies like the news guy said
They're just kids who've gotten over their heads
Big Pharma hooked them in the first place
And it won't stop

[Chorus:]
Come on Sean, you're on drugs
You're gonna run out of luck
You could still find your way
You know it won't get better

Come on hold while you can
I know I don't understand
You could still find your way
You know it will get better
