## Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken]

This songs called Medi-fucking-cation!

[Verse 1: *YUNGBLUD & Audience*, **Spoken**]

*Doctor says that I'm so lonely*

*A mistake on the painting of my family*

*But that big smudge is what I love*

*Give me a grenade, and I'll tape it to my face*

Getting drunk at *quarter to one*

 *'Cause my dad is a geezer and he keys up my mum*

You put it in my mouth, I’m gonna bite down

If that ain't normal then the pope-

**Let me see them hands!**

[Pre-Chorus: *Spoken*]

Lost in a white light, white heat

Fire shots in our arms on your street

Lost in a white light, white heat

I'm blank, why you shouting at me?

*Jump*

[Chorus: *Spoken*]

I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my

(Blah, blah, blah) My medication

I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my

(Blah, blah, blah) My motivation

I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my

(Blah, blah, blah) My medication

'Cause I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my

(Blah, blah, blah) My motivation

*Scream* \*audience screams\* *Woo!*

[Verse 2: *Audience*]

Doctor says "don't fight that feeling"

But my head is stuck to the ceiling

I can't get it off, you super-glued it on

It's like my bad scene stuck in a wet dream

My heart is a bomb, it just ticks along

With a *bang, bang, bang* on a beat up tin drum

I'm an experiment of young irrelevance

I'm insecure so I got a tattoo of an elephant

[Pre-Chorus: *Spoken*, **Audience**]

Lost in a white- *sing it!* **white heat**

Fire shots in our arms on your street

Lost in a white light, **white heat**

I'm blank, why you shouting at me, man?

[Chorus]

I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my

(Blah, blah, blah) My medication

I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my

(Blah, blah, blah) My motivation

I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my

(Blah, blah, blah) My medication

'Cause I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my

(Blah, blah, blah) My motivation

[Bridge]

You cannot pretend there’s no dirt on your shirt

'Cause that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works

You try to perceive that you're so squeaky clean

But that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works

You cannot pretend there’s no dirt on your shirt

'Cause that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works

You try to perceive that you're so squeaky clean

But that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works

[Chorus: *Spoken*]

I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my

(Blah, blah, blah) My medication

I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my

(Blah, blah, blah) My motivation

I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my

(Blah, blah, blah) My medication

'Cause I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my

(Blah, blah, blah) My motivation

*You are fucking amazing man!*

*Woo, woo, woop, yeah, man*

*This next song is about a really fucking dark place I found in my head*

*And it really scared me when I found it*

*But I learnt to talk about it, man, and it made me so much better*
