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? 

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 

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 
Now she's never ever out of...

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
