about
"Western Medicine Hamster Wheel", the 3rd solo release from Darrin Evil, is an unapologetic ode to the vicious cycle of unnecessary surgery and use of pharmaceutical drugs in western culture.
lyrics
Big pharma, take a pill. They’re the reason society’s ill.
Create, Deploy, a new disease. Use the media to break our will
Take 12 a day, it’s no big deal, in the western medicine hamster wheel
After paying huge tuition, doctors lose their intuition
Arbitrarily dealing drugs, on their way to perdition
Take 12 a day, it’s no big deal, in the western medicine hamster wheel
Better have surgery ‘cause it’s never gonna heal, in the western medicine hamster wheel
Pumping kids with Ritalin, to blind them from the cage they’re in
Even feed it to adults, when they can’t deal with all their sin
Lay on the couch, tell me how you feel, in the western medicine hamster wheel
Blindly follow where they lead, the medical mafia demon seed
Mile long list of side effects, probably could have just smoked some weed
Take 12 a day, it’s no big deal, in the western medicine hamster wheel
Better have surgery ‘cause it’s never gonna heal, in the western medicine hamster wheel
Lay on the couch, tell me how you feel, in the western medicine hamster wheel
