A.D.D.

Mommy, what does hyper mean?
The teacher says I'll never read
Says I need to take a pill
So I can learn to sit real still
The microwaves did something to our brains
We need to take these pills to help us change

Please let me take them
I don't want to be an idiot
Ritalin will make me smart
At least that's what my teacher says

All the other kids take them
I think I am the only one
I need something to slow me down
I talk too much 'cause I am dumb

Mommy what's a deficit?
I think it means that I can't sit
Disorder of attention and I don't learn the lesson
Mommy, please help me see the light
Don't you know my teacher's always right?

Please let me take them
I don't want to be an idiot
Ritalin will make me smart
At least that's what my teacher says

All the other kids take them
I think I am the only one
I need something to slow me down
I talk too much 'cause I am dumb

Joey started on week four, he's not in trouble anymore
Suzy in it on week nine, now she's never out of line
Now she's never ever out of

Please let me take them
I don't want to be an idiot
Mommy takes my Ritalin
There's not enough for me she said

All the other moms take them
I think it's not just mine
I don't know if she's smarter now
But at least she's doin' fine
