Take Your Medication

[Verse 1]
Woke up kookaburra laughing at me
Burnt toast
Three missed calls
Where’s my sanity
Doc says
“Mate
Your brain’s just wired sideways”
I say
“Sweet
Just mark it in my Mondays”

[Chorus]
If you’re happy and you know it
Take your medication (hey!)
Chuck it down with your flat white
That’s a celebration (oi!)
If you’re happy and you know it
Keep that dosage in rotation
If you’re happy and you know it
Take your medication

[Verse 2]
Friends say “just go swim in the ocean”
Love ya
But that don’t fix the potion
Got a script with my name like a lifeline
Little tablet turning down the landmines

[Chorus]
If you’re happy and you know it
Take your medication (hey!)
If you’re shaky and you’re aching
Same equation (oi!)
If you’re breathing and you’re here
You deserve that regulation
If you’re happy and you know it
Take your medication

[Bridge]
This is for the ones on the late-night train
Reading side effects
Feeling kinda strange
You’re not weak
You’re not broken
You’re in treatment
That’s a bloody brave achievement (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
If you’re happy and you know it
Take your medication (hey!)
If you’re crying
Still you try
That’s dedication (oi!)
From the suburbs to the bush
Right across this big wide nation
If you’re happy and you know it
Take your medication
