Jake Jessee - My Mom Takes Prozac Lyrics

My mom is on prozac and she laughs a lot
Remember when I was a boy, she begged my dad a lot
I laid aside their bed, she cried her head off, I asked for what
My dad locked his gun in his safe, she'd be gone had he not
My mom is on prozac and she laughs a lot
Remember when I was a boy she begged my dad a lot
She would've shot her self with his gun if she had one shot
He locked his gun inside his safe and now she has a shot
Uh-uh I'm not for pills, but god damn have I took 'em
Enough to know that money's the main reason people cook 'em
Once when I was fourteen, I suddenly was depersonalized
My momma took me to the doctor - they said no prob, then prescribed some Paxil
Took it back with me, then at home knocked it back with juice (Some apple)
Truly believed that it would tackle these anxiety attacks, bullshit...
Weeks later I was packed full with the sickest thoughts imaginable
Couldn't even see a grocery bag without wanting to (Bag over head/asphyxiation)
My mom is on prozac and she laughs a lot
Remember when I was a boy, she begged my dad a lot
I laid aside their bed, she cried her head off, I asked for what
My dad locked his gun in his safe, she'd be gone had he not
My mom is on prozac and she laughs a lot
Remember when I was a boy she begged my dad a lot
She would've shot her self with his gun if she had one shot
He locked his gun inside his safe and now she has a shot
Uh-huh, okay I guess some people gotta take 'em
'Though I've got lots of shit that's wrong with me and I dont take 'em...
We're never taught to deal with our emotions, what a lie
We're taught do whatever it takes to keep getting by
I've got a lot of respect for the ones that ride the waves
Still got some respect left for all the ones who run away
Nah I won't judge the cover of your book, even a page
I don't know a thing about what the f*cks in your DNA
So yeah they say the apple don't fall too far from the tree
Sometimes I wish I was an orange, I'm caught in between
Depression has a mind of its own, why can't it have feet
I try to make it walk away, its a lost cause, pushing dead weight
Sometimes i think each cell inside me's a whole universe
And this whole universe is one cell of a human or another kind
I wonder if depression is in every one (Every universe) or just in mine
Don't worry, I'll adjust - its fine
My mom is on prozac and she laughs a lot
Remember when I was a boy, she begged my dad a lot
I laid aside their bed, she cried her head off, I asked for what
My dad locked his gun in his safe, she'd be gone had he not
My mom is on prozac and she laughs a lot
Remember when I was a boy she begged my dad a lot
She would've shot her self with his gun if she had one shot
He locked his gun inside his safe and now she has a shot
