Medication
Seeking Relief: Primal Scream's Urban Struggle
Lyrics
I get sick of living in the city
I feel weary of urban life
Everyone's a liar and a thief
People in the city are dishonest and untrustworthy
If the cancer don't
If illness doesn't affect you
The taxman's gonna get you
The government will collect taxes from you
If the women don't
If relationships don't trouble you
The doctors let you bleed
Doctors may allow you to suffer
I don't want to hang around with you
Expressing a desire to distance oneself from someone
Don't want to see you burn
Not interested in witnessing someone's downfall
I don't want to see you turn blue
Unwilling to see someone in distress or danger
I want to see the sun
Yearning for positivity and brightness
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Expressing a desire for medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole
Seeking medication to heal a psychological or emotional void
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Repetition of the desire for medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hole
Emphasizing the need for medication to fill a void
Everyone's steppin' on each other
People are competing and harming each other
Shootin', snortin', smokin' all they can
Engaging in destructive behaviors like substance abuse
I wish that blood was thicker than water
Expressing a wish for stronger family bonds
'Cause drinkin' dirty water kills a man
Highlighting the danger of consuming polluted resources
I don't want to hang around with you
Reiteration of the desire to avoid certain individuals
Don't want to see you burn
Not wanting to witness someone facing consequences
I don't want to see you turn blue
Aversion to seeing someone in a critical condition
I want to see the sun
Yearning for a positive and bright future
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Repeating the plea for medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole
Requesting medication to alleviate emotional distress
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Reiteration of the need for medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hole
Emphasizing the importance of medication to fill a void
I get sick of living in the city
Recurrence of discontent with city life
Everyone's a liar and a thief
Reiteration of distrust in urban inhabitants
If the cancer don't
Repetition of the potential threats – illness and taxes
The taxman's gonna get you
Highlighting the government's role in collecting taxes
If the women don't
Repeating the potential threats – relationships and medical neglect
The doctors let you bleed
Emphasizing the possible consequences of medical negligence
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Repetition of the plea for medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole
Requesting medication to fill an emotional void
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Reiteration of the desire for medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hole
Emphasizing the importance of medication to heal an emotional void
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Repetition of the plea for medication
Gimme medication to cure this hole
Seeking medication to fill a psychological or emotional void
Gimme, gimme, gimme medication
Reiteration of the desire for medication
Gimme medication to cure this, cure this hole
Emphasizing the need for medication to fill a void
