Treat Yourself
[Verse 1]
For all times that I gave you my help
And still you turned around and dissed me on Yelp
You say you lost your pain meds
Girl, please, what the health...
You never lose your script for Lisinopril

[Refrain 1]
And I didn't wanna write a song
Cuz I didn't want anyone thinkin'
I was breakin' HIPAA
But have you heard of Prince, huh?
And maybe you should move along
Cuz I won't be party to all this desperate drug seekin'
I'd like you to keep breathin'

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And my nurse, she don't like you and she likes everyone
And Big Pharma ain't likely to admit that they were wrong
But we been so caught up treatin' pain, couldn't see what's going on
But now I know, above all we've been doin' harm

[Chorus 1]
So if you'd like that script for Percocet
Then maybe you can go see someone else
And if you think you ain't and addict yet
Then baby you should go and treat yourself
[Verse 2]
And when you told me that you rated your pain
10/10, while you're there texting your friends
And everytime I told you Oxycontin was wrong
I get another Press Ganey Survey bomb

[Refrain 2]
And I didn't wanna write a script
But I didn't want lawyers to say
That I don't care about pain
Now where'd I put that Narcan?
And maybe Purdue Pharma's wrong
When they pushed that everyone should be
Slangin' all that Oxy
They honest like Bill Cosby

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And this opioid crisis is killing everyone
CMS, they ain't likely to admit that they were wrong
Chronic pain folks are sufferin', treated like they're criminals
But now I know, it's time we fixed what's going wrong

[Chorus 2]
So if you like those HCAHPS Scores so much
Then maybe you should go run a hotel
And if you think that pain's a "vital sign"
Then baby you should go and burn in hell
[Verse 3]
For all times that I made you feel small
As if addiction was some character flaw
We should be treatin' folks when they're so vulnerable
We're losin' lives, why can't we break down these walls?

[Chorus 3]
Cuz if you'd like that script for narcs so much
Then maybe we should help you get some help
And if you think you can't quit all alone
Then baby we can help you treat yourself
