Name: We Need A Little Xanax
Duration: P00H02M34S
Description: It took a month after the election of Donald J. Trump for us to get our fighting legs. During that month, we felt depression and anxiety for our country worse than we had experienced in our entire life. We are thrilled that our song resonated so wildly on Facebook. But now it's time to put the Xanax away and "Stay Woke"!

lyrics

Call up my doctor. We're gonna need a ton of pharmaceuticals. Fill my prescription, 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 yes 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. Boost up my serotonin and endorphins please. Break up the shpilkes. It's time to exorcise this orange demon away. For I need a little Xanax, right this very minute. Nothing stops the panics, we're just living in it yes I need a little Xanax right this very minute. I need a little Xanax now.

Tried all the naturals. I tried some mushroom tea and peyote again. Lavender essence. I just thank God that marijuana's legal here now. For 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 these 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!
