I was watching the commercial
Just sitting there minding my business
And the man said —
(may cause dry mouth, fatigue, and sudden bleeding from the eyes)
And I said
...come again?

Listen to me very carefully, I need your full attention
The FDA approved an alien for general consumption
That disclaimer at the end they speed-read past your ear?
That ain't a warning — that's a lease agreement, baby, they LIVE there
"May cause bloating" — that's a creature finding furniture
"May cause vivid dreams" — that's it walking through your literature
My uncle Jerome took Lipitor back in two-thousand-four
Woke up with something standing in the corner of the floor
(just standing there)
He described it as a shimmer, said it smelled like a waiting room
Doctor said "that's normal" — WHAT IS NORMAL ABOUT A SHIMMER IN YOUR ROOM
They published the study, I read the study, the study said
"Mild hallucinations in point-three percent of subjects"
Point three percent is MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, doctor
(millions of people!)
That ain't a side effect — that's an immigration pattern

They slide in on a prescription
While you sleep they handle business
The government signed the permission
In nineteen-and-seventy-something
(seventy-something, baby)

May cause! (may cause!)
Dry mouth and an alien in your bathroom
May cause! (may cause!)
Irregular heartbeat 'cause something moved in
They living in the side effects, baby
Subdivided in the fine print, maybe
You been housing extraterrestrials
Since the last time your doctor said take two
(take two!)
May CAUSE
(may cause, baby)

My neighbor Delphine — God bless her soul — took something for her knee
Three days later her left eye was tracking things that we couldn't see
She said "there's one behind the refrigerator, one above the sink"
We thought she lost it — turned out she was the only one could think
Because the rest of us were medicated
And our tenants were already situated
I cross-referenced the molecular compound in the active ingredient
With a chart I made myself using information that they didn't want expedient
(they didn't want you knowing!)
The binding agent in the coating of the capsule?
Not approved in fourteen countries — why?
Because those countries have a DIFFERENT DEAL
Their aliens come in through the water supply, that's their arrangement
(that's their arrangement, baby)
Ours negotiated pharmaceutical placement
You think that's coincidence?
You think Pfizer is a COINCIDENCE?

My pastor said
"Son, the body is a temple"
(the body is a temple)
And I said Reverend —
They have ZONED the temple
(they ZONED it!)
Commercial, residential, and some kind of light industrial
Near the liver where they run what I believe to be a small municipal
(a small municipal, baby)
The Bible didn't account for this
Because Pharaoh didn't have a pharmacy
But if he DID
(if he DID)
Those ten plagues would've come in a CHILDPROOF BOTTLE
With a pamphlet
Explaining that boils and locust swarms
Affect one-in-a-thousand patients
And you should contact your doctor if symptoms persist
(contact your doctor!)
Your doctor is also medicated
(your doctor is ALSO medicated)
Oh Lord

I just want you to read the insert
That little folded paper they give you
Unfold it all the way
(all the way, baby)
It keeps going
It keeps going for a LONG TIME
And somewhere around paragraph nine
In the section called "rare but serious events"
That's where they live
(that's where they LIVE)
Between "suicidal ideation" and "spontaneous bruising"
There's a whole civilization
(a whole civilization)
In the rare but serious events
Paying no rent
(paying no rent, baby)
Just sitting in your rare but serious events
...Read the insert
(read the insert)
God bless you
Stay away from generics
(stay away from generics — different aliens)
