Cosmetic Pharmacology Blues

Uncle John's Blues Band

You won't believe how hilarious this band is, and with an album called Beta Blocker Blues, who could ask for more.

My favorite tune, of course, is Cosmetic Pharmacology.

Here are the lyrics so you can sing along:

Cosmetic Pharmacology

We’re the Prozac generation
Turning on to Viagra
Gotta have its Viagra
Take a pill to keep us happy
Take a pill if we feel sad

Now the Prozac generation
Has to turn to Viagra
‘Cos the Prozac generation
Don’t believe in Natura
Can’t have mood swing oscillations
Normalize the way we are

Cosmetic pharmacology
Viagra and Prozac
The darlings of the media
Filling magazine racks
But in terms of human suffering
Their impact’s almost nil


The therapeutic version
Of a couple of Spice Girls
We’re the Prozac generation
Turning on Viagra
Take a pill to keep up happy
Another pill to make things hard

Cosmetic pharmacology
Prozac and Viagra
Change your personality
Be like a movie star
Vivacious and exhuberant
Instead of shy and bland
Get passion by prescription
Arousal on demand

Prozac generation
Turning on to Viagra
Take whatever is in fashion
Got to have the latest fad
