[Verse 1]
I've got all the symptoms, Doctor can't you see?
Of an affliction that's slowly killin' me
And all these problems need a little chemical solvin'
The best cure I've found is gettin' lost in oxycontin

[Chorus]
Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?
I've got a terminal case of the ole' heartache and a script that I need filled
So cure me or kill me, or her memory will
Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?

[Verse 2]
Doctor all I'm askin' for is a little white cure
I just gotta get high enough to get over her
So gimme somethin' stronger than a little Advil
'Cause if you cannot cure me, don't you know my dealer will

[Chorus]
Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?
I've got a terminal case of the ole' heartache and a script that I need filled
So cure me or kill me, or her memory will
Why take the pain when I can take pain pills?
