Prozac for Pets

Side effects include living, side effects include lies,
Side effects include smiling with pharmaceutical eyes.
They prescribed me a person, I swallowed her whole,
Took the capsule to feel less, now I'm capsuled in control.

Good dog, good job, good drugs, good night,
Good numb, good dumb, good grief, good fight.
They leashed the panic, then they sold the leash,
Called the collar treatment, called the kennel peace.

Ask your doctor if living is right for you,
Ask the pharmacist if feeling comes in blue.
The tablet holds the dose, the tablet holds the scroll,
Both of them are feeding you, neither makes you whole.

I got patient with the patient till the patient couldn't speak,
Took a script from the script and played the role for a week.
Dose by dose I'm dozing off, pill by pill I'm standing still,
Cure the symptom of the system, but the system's never ill.

Side effects include compliance, side effects include a smile,
Side effects include a child on trial sitting still for a while.
They medicated recess, they sedated every question,
Called the silence concentration, called the numbness a suggestion.

They sedated the verdict, the patient was the proof,
The symptom was the speaking, final cure off the roof.
Make 'em hertz at every frequency, rent silence for the drive,
The numb become number as the numbers dive inside.

Good dog, good job, good drugs, good night,
Good numb, good dumb, good grief, good fight.

Swallow what they tell you, let the capsule be the cage,
The prescription is permission to turn silence into wage.
Withdraw from the withdrawal, let the dependency depend,
The tolerance is tolerant of everything except the mend.

Side effects include death, read the fine print if you dare,
Side effects include a life that was never fully there.
The pet survived the treatment, but the person wasn't saved,
Good dog, good job, good drugs, good grave.

"Good news everyone, our new cure just went viral"

Here's to the stock price, keep the highs high,
Keep the livestock's stock stocked their whole life.
Treatment plan? make it point. precise.
Old drug. new disease. new price.

Pipeline product, pipeline vice,
Effects? Who gives a shit? drug craps dice,
Patient dies, evergreen, sell twice.
Your money, See-all-less, by the dick heist (highs)

Drug rep bought the doc, doc sold the lies,
Formula guards the gate and wields the knife.
Margin on the margins paying price,
Every trip's a toll booth on your life.

SIT. STAY. SWALLOW. SHAKE.
SIT. STAY. SWALLOW. SHAKE.
SIT. STAY. SWALLOW. SHAKE.
"...and now roll over"

Rx on Rex; Lassie gotta heel for a dose,
Paws on pause, clause put calm in his throat.

Vet vetted verdict; every whimper approved,
Script wrote the species till the wild got removed.
Leash got leased; now relief has a rate,
Treats turn treatment when the margin tastes great.
Patent the patient, then bill what you broke,
Serene little jingle while the fine print choked.

Pill in the pillory, profit in fleece,
Call it relief when the collar says please.
Consent wore a muzzle, compassion showed teeth,
Care came in fine print with chewable sheath.
They breed the stress, then they breed the solution,
Chemistry blessed by a boardroom communion.
Calm dog, calm mom, calm market, calm graph,
Everybody sedated by the dividend math.

They treat the pet, then pet the treatment,
Lease out love, then call it agreement.
Script flipped the sickness, sickness flipped scripts,
Refill refills what the first bottle missed.
Side effects side-eye; small print plays dead,
Warnings wear mourning, every dosage reads red.
Buy calm, sell fear, make fear buy back,
Put a bow on the bottle and call it a snack.

They don't cure the howl, they copyright the hush,
Then sell you the silence in premium plush.
