Description: I think we're over our panic now, but for an entire month after the 2016 election, we had trouble eating, sleeping, focusing, relaxing.....To be funny we took the desire to self-medicate to the greatest extreme in song.

lyrics

Call up my doctor
I’m gonna need a ton of pharmaceuticals
Fill my prescriptions
Before I bite my nails down to the cuticles OW
For I need a little Xanax
Right this very minute,
Mild anti-depressants
Can’t put a dent in it
Oh I need a little Xanax
Right this very minute.
Oh Doctor dear now don’t be hesitant
Now that Donald Trump is president
Calm my anxiety
Bump up the serotonin and endorphin rush
Break up my Spilkes
It’s time we medicate that orange demon away
For we need a little Xanax
Right this very minute
Nothing stops the panics
We’re just living in it
Yes we need a little Xanax
Right this very minute
We need a little Xanax NOW

V.2
Tried all the naturals
I tried some mushroom tea and (rest) peyote again
Lavender essence,
I just thank God that marijuana’s legal here now
But I need a little Xanax
Something more exotic
Pass the oxycontin
Need a small narcotic
Yes I need a little morphine
Should I take up heroin?
Never have felt so dejected
What an asshole we elected
This is abysmal
This was the worst election I have ever seen.
More Pepto-Bismol
It’s time to get those knots out of my stomach please now
For I need a little Maalox
Need another Rolaid
Pass the Alka-Seltzer
Or some deadly nightshade
And we need some artificial
Happy ever after
We need a lot of Xanax now!
