Ben Ivimey - American Medicine Lyrics

All the minds go spinning around
Like the world's only spinning for each head now
All the minds go spinning around
Like the world's only spinning for each head now
The all consuming American Medicine
It's so neat
And nothing's discrete
But you can never complete
The course
The people get a high on identity
When the words are delivered
With a brave new sheen
But it's lonely on an island in a raging sea
And there's only one thing
On which anyone agrees
To keep on using American Medicine
Can only increase the dose
Inverted freedom with American Medicine
It's so neat
And nothing's discrete
But you can never complete
The course
Some keep anaesthetic in the fridge
Some love flirting with the mountain ridge
Some go for days
Trying to capture their own gaze
In pursuit of an ideal reflection
Gotta keep to the daily dose
Of American Medicine yeah
Some run for miles in a square room
With a window and a view
And do it in style
Cause everybody loves
Yeah everybody
Loves American Medicine
To get complete
Like a wealthy dowager in an ivory tower
Drinking in a laudanum dream
Yeah
Oh till her headaches
And she just can't go back to sleep
Like every fallen Hercules in deceit
Shooting up some extra red blood cells
What a treat
Everybody loves American Medicine
To get complete
But nothing's that sweet
Cause knowledge turned to stone
The day your information was sold
On the cheap
In the race to consume the most
American Medicine
