I Feel Fantastic Lyrics

I get up early when the sleeping pill wakes me
I take a wake up pill and fill with energy
I power on hard and I check my messages
But I don’t have any messages
I take a driving pill and head to my car
I drive around a bit cuz work isn’t very far
I call my phone and I check my messages
But I don’t have any messages

All I know is driving on drugs feels better when they’re prescription
All I know is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

Work is anything but quiet these days
I try to medicate my concentration haze
I can feel the day unfold in front of me
So I take the stairs and hit the gym
The phone is ringing when I get to my desk
What was a stinging’s now a sharp pain in my chest
So I take a Calminex and just chill
And then it’s time for lunch again

All I know is work is easy when you don’t stress out about deadlines
All I know is I take my medicine I always take my medicine

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

Sometimes I’d like to slow things down
Enjoy the moment
But when I look the moment’s gone

Work is over but I can’t stay to work late
Got to leave and get ready for my second date
With a pretty girl that I met at the pharmacy
Right in the prescription line
I take a pill for my social anxiety
I get a table and a nice bottle of chablis
Now it’s getting late and there’s still no sign of her
I have another glass of wine

All I know is the wine lasts longer when you don’t gotta share it with someone
All I know is my steak tastes better when I take my steak tastes better pill

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

CFaz is correct. This song is about our pill obsessed society in which some people think they need a pill for everything. This song was featured in a Science magazine to show that eventually there will probably be pills to make you feel a certain way.

It's a song that's ridiculing how most of our society is on some kind of prescription drug and how there seems to be a drug for everything.

My steak tastes better when I take my "Steak taste better" pill. Great line.

Just wanna say that if you can't make your own neurotransmitters, there's NO SHAME in getting them in pill form.

This song might be satire/critique against too many prescription medicines, but it could also be intrerpreted from the point of view of someone who really needs their medicine to be fine in their daily life and being frustrated by the medicine driving their life. Being on antidepressants, the line "All I know, the world looks so damn beautiful" especially hits home.

Regardless, a great song.
