Ten Foot Pole - A.D.D. Lyrics

Mommy what does hyper mean?
Teacher says I'll never read
She 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 said
All the other kids take them, I think I am the only one
I need something to slow me down
I talk too much cuz 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?
Joey's starting on week 4
He's not in trouble any more
Susie's ending up week 9
Now she's never out of line

Please let me take them I don't want to be an idiot
Now 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 feeling fine
