my parody to Smells Like Teen Spirit

[[...]]

I wrote this a number of years ago and would like to present it to the benzo community that is doing the best job at keeping those tapering off this drug safe.

 

I would like to thank Colin and the all moderators here for the hard work they do to keep this web site up and running.

Smells Like Denial

 

Load up on benzos, your new friend;

It’s freeze-dried booze, let’s not pretend!

We’re overwrought and feeling hurt,

Benzo, I know ... a dirty word!

 

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

hello, hello, hello

 

Though off-label ... ‘scripts are dangerous,

Queue us up now, medicate us!

Say these “meds” are advantageous,

We are anxious, medicate us!

 

Give us cog-fog ...

Go on in whole-hog,

Further maim us,

And then blame us.

 

HEY!

 

BigPharma’s Best ... what they do worst,

Now, as their victims ... we are cursed.

We sought their help ... to make us well

But then were ushered into hell.

 

 

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

hello, hello, hello

 

Most of the pDoc’s ... practice is dangerous,

Armed with their ‘script pads ... they medicate us!

pDoc denial ... it is contagious!

They lust for power ... to medicate us.

 

Another pDoc,

A new prescription ...

To counter-act our

Benzo addiction.

 

HEY!

 

My brain feels fried ... now what a waste,

To regain hope will take some time.

I’m terrified I’ve lost my mind,

In benzo-hell ... it’s hard to find.

 

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

benzo, oh no, benzo - how low?

hello, hello, hello

 

Our healthcare system ... has gotten dangerous,

Ten minute visit, then medicate us!

Follow the money ... it is outrageous,

No time for ‘history’ ... just medicate us.

 

Bring on a fishing

expedition,

and, quite frankly,

an admission ...

no more denial

no more denial

 

We need real ACTION

And laws with TRACTION

 

no more denial

no more denial

 

We need real ACTION

And Laws with TRACTION!

no more denial

Thanks gail, you're very creative.

Oh, this is quite good. I sometimes wonder if Cobain was a victim of psych meds and unscrupulous doctors, would he be alive today if not for his treatment he was receiving. Very talented man, he wrote about Lithium, loved that Weird Al Yankovich parodied Nirvana, and would probably resonate with your lyrics to his song.

I saw a documentary about a very well known songwriter and singer, and he took his life. Surgery several times and opiates on and off. He felt bad and Benzo. A lot of drugs, but it didn't help. They were talking about his symptoms, and I recognize everything. No one understood why he took his life, but I think Benzo-WD was the problem.

I have read that Kurt c had horrible stomach aches.

I wonder if he was ever diagnosed with colitis etc?

I think he did heroin for the pain,

this is great! I played it in my mind with Cobain's voice. It would be an educational  twist on karaoke night

That is true. He went to doctors and didn't get the help he needed. Supposedly Courtney Love got him narcotics, and things went downhill from there.
