I don't have a problem that I can't address.
The doctor, he told me that I'm just a little depressed.
I can't afford the visit and I can't afford his cure.
I don't go see to him any more
So I'm self-medicating. Just like you I'm self-medicating
Can't afford no valium but crack'l do me fine
Gin's too much so I'll make do with wine
This one's to you and for all the things that you do
So raise your glass or smoke or spoon. This one's to you.
I need a little something at the end of the day
And something in the morning to clear the webs away
Something in the afternoon to get me through the day
And help me forget the way I feel
So I'm self-medicating. Just like you I'm self-medicating
Can't afford no fancy clothes but pot'l do me fine
I can't buy much so I'll make do with wine
This one's to you and for all the things that you do
We're not so different you and I. In many ways we really are the same.
