100 pills per person
And I'll never understand
How they could know what they were doing
But not ever give a damn
100 pills per person
Prescribed to me and you
By Johnston and Johnson
And proscribed by Purdue
And if they could do it all again
You know they'd do it just the same
100 pills per person
And big pharma getting paid
100 pills per person
And these profits stink of death
This classroom once was filled with kids
Now there's two thirds of them left
They’re gone down in Kentucky
They’re gone up there in Maine
Families ripped apart
That will never be the same
Mothers taken from their daughters
Fathers taken from their sons
100 pills per person
And we're nowhere close to done
100 pills per person
And that greed is here to stay
And if a man starts to run dry
He can get more the next day
100 pills per person
And nobody in jail
The kids all found their fixes
And their coffins found their nails
They think that they’re above the law
But their hands are soaked with blood
They’re gonna have to answer
When it’s time to be judged
