Lyrics:
Mother, I don't wanna take my medicine
24 years in the gutter again
I'm losing it
Everybody's acting like they're all alright
I can barely get myself to sleep at night
I'm sick of it

Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun

I'd rather be crazy than to take these pills
I'm sick of being okay against my will
I'm losing it
Ain't a thing in this world that I'm gonna miss
It's all fake smiles and leather jackets
We're full of it, yeah we're full of shit
I don't know who to trust

Yeah, they sent the taxman
I lost my job, and
You got hooked on oxycodone
They shut the lights off
They took the car, and
I bought a sawed-off shotgun

I'm losing it
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
I'm losing it
I bought a sawed-off shotgun
I don't know who to trust
Maybe people like us

This is the last song I got to hear my dad sing at the top of his lungs while fishing in the middle of South Padre Island, TX. Shortly I lost him to Cancer... RIP dad, I miss you and now I sing this song at top of my lungs every chance I get.

3 months clean guys. 3 months of happiness 😊

[dakotaburkhart]

My neighbors showed me this song when I was hooked on oxycodone and they said this was my song lol I'm 3 years clean now I listen to this song every time I think of relapsing I wanna say thank you for helping me get clean to be able to see my daughter grow up and one day I now will be able to tell her how y'all saved my life so from the bottom of my heart thank you and much love my daughter can now say her dad is still alive and is clean

[deathlordpookey]

The immense popularity of this song combined with it essentially being a suicide note, says leagues about the general mentality of people. We tired

[brandonsmith]

Was an addict for a long time, did some things that would make your skin crawl as most addicts have, but in the 5 years that I’ve been sober I have finished my BA program and have less than a year for my MS program. To anyone dealing with addiction, don’t ever go back, you know where the road leads.

"I am sick of being ok against my will" I love that

[vividcarson]

december 25th 2017 was the last time I took an opioid, been 2 years clean from the oxys. best thing I've ever done in my life. still a battle everyday but I know I'm winning every night I go to bed sober :)

[butterflywing]

I'm 58. It's great to see the rebel spirit is still alive in music.

[samandcarlie]

Omg, I’ve lived this life. From being broke AF, needing mental health help, the oxy, to the shady bullshit I’ve pulled to get by. This hits hard.😊

[TaylorLynnne]

[coreygish]

Anthem of the lower middle class.

They really managed to capture all the same feels going through that in just 3 mins. Pretty awesome

[jacklongo]

This song restored my faith in Canadians

[RodEndsley-rlix]

Got a lot of Hell for liking this song. So to all you haters ... F.O. !!!

[Shane-otcx]

This should be #1 on the billboards. Especially given the pandemic. Love this song!

[mitchellk]

This is the way a concert should be. Not many people on their phones. Everyone is just singing along living in the moment.

Wins the "gets stuck in ur head forever" award

When the crowd is singing the line "they shut the lights off" the area should shut it's lights off as well.

[ironfae]

Hearing a crowd of thousands singing YOUR song has to be the greatest thing EVER for a band.
