Good afternoon, citizens. The back is broken. The knees are complaining. The day’s been a bastard. And now… It’s medication time. Which, under the circumstances… Is also meditation time. My back’s in bits, But I soldiered through, Had places to go, Had a thing or two to do. Got the jobs all done, Now I’m calling it a day, Put the car keys down, Let the world drift away. Every nerve’s got a megaphone, Every muscle’s got a view, My body’s holding meetings And they’re all complaining too. But the road can wait, And the clock can unwind, Got a little bit of medicine And a little peace of mind. Medication time! Meditation time! Turn the volume down, Let me get my head in line. Medication time! Meditation time! Still a little bit sore, But I’m feeling more alive. Medication! Let it settle! Meditation! Mind the kettle! Medication! Meditation! Give me two minutes Of recalibration! Twenty minutes back, I was shaped like a question, Walking round the house With a spinal misconnection. Pain’s still in position, It hasn’t gone away, But the volume’s getting lower And I’ve got some room to play. It’s not a magic wand, It’s not a miracle cure, It’s a little bit of breathing space When the day’s been hard to endure. Low temperature, Take it nice and slow, Let the worries lose their grip And the tension let go. Medi-medication… Medi-meditation… One is the medicine. One is the moment. And right now… I’ll take a little of both. Medication time! Meditation time! Turn the volume down, Let me get my head in line. Medication time! Meditation time! Still a little bit sore, But I’m feeling more alive. Medication! Meditation! I’m not chasing oblivion, I’m just looking for some quiet! Funny little plant, Funny little situation, Trying to find relief In a world of complications. I’ve got a prescription, I’ve got places I must go, So I save it for the evening When the car keys aren’t involved. But there’s a little worry That keeps knocking at the door, About the test, about the law, About what happens next and more. I’m not looking for a shortcut, I’m not looking for a fight, I’m just trying to find some comfort At the end of a difficult night. Medication… Meditation… Let the shoulders fall. Medication… Meditation… You don’t have to fix it all. Pain’s still there, But it’s not the whole story. Body’s still here, And I’m finding some room. Breathing in… Breathing out… For a little while, I can turn the noise down. Medication time! Meditation time! Turn the volume down, Let me get my head in line. Medication time! Meditation time! Can’t fix everything, But I’m feeling more alive. Medication time! Meditation time! A little less tension, A little less fight. Medication time! Meditation time! Medication time! Meditation time! Turn the volume down, Let me get my head in line. Medication time! Meditation time! Can’t fix everything, But I’m feeling more alive. Medication time! Meditation time! A little less tension, A little less fight. Medication time! Meditation time! FEEL A LITTLE BETTER! SLEEP A LITTLE TIGHTER! Well… Not necessarily tighter. My back’s still knackered. Medi-medication… Medi-meditation… Medication… Meditation… Twenty minutes ago? Absolute write-off. Now? Not bad, actually. Medication time… Meditation time… STATIC… REBELLION…
