Clock ticks down, another shot goes in The label reads “approved,” so we call it medicine Blood on the floor, but the ad's still clean A toast to the ones who profit off the obscene Billboards blaze with a smiling face But in the ER, another life erased Doctors numb, and the truth’s denied While lobbyists laugh on the corporate side Policy’s a price tag, bought in full Truth’s a dead man lying in a barstool Cages stacked for the desperate poor While suits sip neat from a penthouse floor Legal poison flows like wine We bury truth while profits climb Dying slow with a fancy name While they criminalize the pain Millions chained, millions gone But the rich stay rich and the laws stay strong From Medellín to Manila, the numbers climb Punish the desperate, don’t question the crime A joint means prison, a pill means gold The system’s cold, it's bought and sold “Another overdose...” “Sentenced to twenty years...” “Record profits for pharma giant...” Truth diluted, justice blindfolded Lobbyists grinning while graves get molded Legal poison flows like wine We bury truth while profits climb Dying slow with a fancy name While they criminalize the pain Millions chained, millions gone But the rich stay rich and the laws stay strong Whispers lost in government halls Paper trails thicker than prison walls Raise a glass to the ones who bled For every dollar made, another innocent dead Legal lies in a velvet case Another name, another face erased
