It was late one night, I saw this ad on my TV
All about adults who had that ADD
They say it's serious, and requires intervention
For those poor people who can't seem to pay attention
But as for me, I got a paper due on Monday
Gonna sit right down and focus... starting Sunday
Wait a minute, weren't we s'posed to have a get away?
Who cares about a stupid paper anyway?
ADD or maybe some facsimile
When it's time to make a plan
I don't know if I can
C'est la vie (LA VIE)
I'll get to it eventually
On account of my ADD
It all adds up to me
The doctor's diagnosis was a little hazy
He couldn't tell if I had it, or was I just lazy?
I got the sense it really didn't matter at all
When he wrote a scrip for sixteen weeks of Adderall
Hot damn, I haven't felt this good in a while
I lost twenty pounds and re-grouted the bathroom tile
Stay up all night, it's quite a stimulating scene
I think that I'm on some kind of amphetamine
They say they want no child to be left behind
Then they slam a year's worth of benchmarks smack into your mind
And wonder why kids are dropping out all over town
And how can we get Attention Defi-SIT DOWN!
