Pills Lyrics

As I was lyin in a hospital bed
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
She says, hold ya arm, stick out ya tounge
I gots some pills I'm gonna give you somes

She went into my head, into my head
A rock n roll nurse, went into my head
Into my head, into my head
While I was lyin in a hodpital bed

A little pill for my legs, but that didn't ache
I tried some pills for my heart, but a little to late
Gots some pills for my love, to put me at ease
Ats when a rock n roll nurse shook me down to my knees

She went into my head, shoved into my head
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

(I got the rock n roll nusre...)

Nursey nursey, I dont see
Well I don't understand what your doin to me
Said ya give me th pills, then ya give me the shot
Got me wonderin what is worse I got

She went into my head, shoved into my head
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

(I got the rock n roll nurse
She's a makin it worse
Keep shootin it right
To my head...)

Doctor doctor! Run here and see
I dont think th job the nurse is givin me
Gives me the shots, gives me th pills
Got me takin this junk, against my wills

She went into my head, shoved into my head
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

"A little pill for my legs, but that didn't ache I tried some pills for my heart, but a little to late Gots some pills for my love, to put me at ease Ats when a rock n roll nurse shook me down to my knees"

Its about self medicating by abusing prescription drugs and addiction. Particularly the lyric I quoted above, along with:

"Gives me the shots, gives me th pills Got me takin this junk, against my wills "

About addiction obviously. "Rock and roll nurse" comes from the general assosication of rock and roll being connected with drugs, hes being medicated by the "rock and roll nurse" - abusing drugs - not an actual nurse.

Thats my thoughts anyway.
