	This is a protest song against corrupt drug companies, polluters, crooked CEOs, and all the politicians who do their bidding.
	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song in about a week and recorded it on an 8-track hard disk recorder. I wroe it to protest the corruption of many of the drug companies, crooked CEOs and politicians, and the polluters who are harming the environment and everyone's health. Lyrics Bobby Cain was a quarterback Till he injured his knee. They gave him pills to kill the pain But the pills just brought him misery. Then they took the drugs away So he robbed a pharmacy. Now he's serving seven years In the penitentiary For bad medicine. Tony came from a bad part of town. The world just got him down. It got so bad he just couldn't live Without a shot of brandy to wash it down. So they sent him to a shrink Who prescribed with pen and ink The roller-coaster ride That leads to suicide From bad medicine. Maddie Gates ran an orphan's home. She gave her life to the poor. When she got sick her kids all cried Cause her health insurance wouldn't pay no more. She just couldn't afford the pills So she prayed unto her Lord That night she left this world Cause the Saints just can't afford Bad medicine. Caroline tried to lose some weight Till she got so ill. One pill led to another pill Till a judge said: "Lady, you're a criminal." She threw away her dreams For a needle and a spoon. Now she's locked inside her mind And she's howling at the moon For bad medicine. Hey Mr. Politician Man, You like to talk so tough. These corporations that bought your soul Just never get enough. Now they sell their snake-oil cures Where the rivers run with waste. Their billboards fill the sky Where the air has got the taste Of bad medicine. Someday the rain will fall like grace When the earth gets well, And the CEO's have all packed their bags For Corporation Hell. And we'll drink from Eden's streams And breathe the pure spring air. Where heaven meets the earth, We'll live without a care. And no bad medicine.
