Song: Anodyne Blues

So, I went to the doctor

There's something wrong with me

Hope I find an elixir

Something to set me free

But he said nothing to do, nothing to see

I gotta learn how to deal with life, and me

But I want the anodyne to make me feel better

So I don't have to feel anything anymore

So, I went to the preacher

A place for me to atone

He said to pray down on my knees and I won't feel so alone

My words echo through the hall and fall to the floor

Take my pain, my worry, my fear, and head for the door

Still I want the anodyne to make me feel better

So I don't feel anything anymore

One thing just delays it

Another thing just betrays it

Third thing just frays it

Must I really explain?

I don't wanna keep doing it

But I gotta keep using it

No, you will not approve of it

Oh, my please are in vain

So, I went to my friends, and my family, too

They got love, and they got wisdom, to help me see this through

They got substance that they won't fake

There ain't no angle or ruse

When the other stuff may fail, you know what to choose

Maybe I don't need no anodyne to make me feel better

No, I don't need no anodyne to make me feel better

So I can feel everything once more
