The A.D.D. Blues
(In the manner of Dave Van Ronk)
My attention is disordered
You know, the deficit is deep
Won't you please take me to Tijuana
Where amphetamines are cheap
My attention is disordered
You know, the deficit is deep
Won't you please take me to Tijuana
Where amphetamines are cheap
I got those A-Dee-Dee blues
A.D.D's got me in it's grip
If the disease don't make you stumble
The medicine....will make you trip
(gonna put you on a trip now... sure 'nuff make you trip)
My momma was a crankster gangster
I'm a crankster gangster too
Well she turned me on to Eskatrol
Back in 1962
She said to me "Sonny,
When you gotta stay up late and study hard
Try these tiny colored time pills
Oh, and, by the way, they will help you fight the lard...

Oh, and, by the way, they will help you fight the lard...
Did I mention, no more lard?"
DEA says "go suck eggs"
So they switched me to Desoxyn
but it just ain't got the legs
5 hours is the half-life;
when you wake you're close to clean
Just a scrap left in your system, man you wake up feeling mean.
Hit that snooze for me will you--
one hour more, that's all I need
Morning goes a little better when y'still can feel the speed.
