@ predictive poetry 2026 A new condition was just invented There’s no cure Life threatening Potentially devastating But fortunately There’s a shot in the arm Rest easy Don’t worry Your pretty little head We’ll put you on a treatment plan For the rest of your life [Pre-Chorus] There’s nothing out of pocket Just a small deductible Your side effects fall within An acceptable range And besides— [Chorus ] Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? [Verse 2] Circular firing squad Big Pharma FDA Revolving door Look the other way In any event— Everybody gets paid The best care money can buy If you can’t afford it Go somewhere and die Sunlight’s the best disinfectant So we operate in the shade [Chorus] Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? [Bridge] No one wants to see you suffer You’re more valuable when you’re alive The industry is designed So there aren’t any bad guys Just bad incentives— Incentivized End of life savings Will to live No living will Keeping Grandma alive Intubated Do not resuscitate Who are we to say? Whatever it takes Whatever the cost After all the assets Have been extracted— We did everything we could [Long pause] [Final Verse — clinical voice returns] Life expectancy Infant mortality Between the forceps And the stone We’ve got you— Covered [Final Chorus — full commercial machinery returns] Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? There’s a pill for that Don’t you know There’s a pill for that? There’s a pill for that Don’t you know— There’s a pill for that? [Outro — music collapses to commercial ambience] Everybody gets paid.
