"America's Drug Problem"

(Big Pharma Influences reporting of disastrous side effects)
(To be sung with Billie Holiday to the tune "Me, Myself and I")

Me, myself and I
Are all afraid to take
Prescription drugs that could be
A GSK "mistake".

Side effects that their execs
Have chosen to ignore
Make us wonder what their techs
Have warned them are in store.

Labels claim their drugs will bring
A fulsome life of sun to us,
Never hinting life could be
Shorter for anyone of us.

Me, myself and I
Don't share their point of view
That larger pay checks justify
The death rates they accrue.
