Lily Allen
Everyone's At It
Album: It's Not Me, It's You
this is a rather simple song by Lily but yet it has a clear statement
Intro: [, ] 4x
Verse 2:
()
I don’t know much but I know this for certain
And that is the sun poking its head round the curtain
Now please can we leave? I’d like to go to bed now
It’s not just the sun that is hurting my head now
I’m not trying to say that I’m smelling of roses
But when will we tire of putting shit up our noses
I don’t like staying up, staying up past the sunlight
It’s meant to be fun and it just doesn’t feel right
Chorus:
Why can’t we all, all just be honest?
Admit to ourselves that everyone’s on it
From grown politicians to young adolescents
Prescribing themselves anti-depressants
And how can we start to tackle the problem?
If you don’t put your hands up and admit that your on them
Now the kids are in danger, they’re all getting habits
'Cause from what I can see everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Verse 2:
I get involved but I’m not advocating
Got an opinion, yeah, you're well up for slating
See you’ve got a prescription, and that makes it legal
Now I find the excuses overwhelmingly feeble
You go to the doctor, you need pills for sleeping
Well, if you can convince him then I guess that’s not cheating
So your daughter's depressed well, get her straight on the Prozac
But little do you know she already takes crack
Chorus:
Why can’t we all, all just be honest?
Admit to ourselves that everyone’s on it
From grown politicians to young adolescents
Prescribing themselves anti-depressants
And how can we start to tackle the problem?
If you don’t put your hands up and admit that your on them
Now the kids are in danger, they’re all getting habits
'Cause from what I can see everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Interlude:
