Johniepee, Elodie - The Medicine Lyrics

Yeah yeah, Aye
If you're feeling real down or
You're feeling like shit
Put your headphones on and listen to this yeah!
Yeah let's get some medicine
Check it, aye, aye, aye, yeah-ehh

If you're feeling shit, listen to this
I'll make you feel better
Dopamine from the beat
No pills ever
I remember all the pills on mums dresser
She took a tonne a day, but never really felt better
She had a Doctor, prescribing her shit
Tryna get her levels right, but never likely to fix
Anything deep inside, always Hospitalised and she was heavily medicated ev-ery-time
As a kid, that was a lotta shit to deal with.
Moved around more than the footy on the field is
Eventually she'd get better... whatever
I've seen this before, never stays here forever
The only constant, I ever remember
Was music, it could bring us right through whatever
Cos when the blues hit, I hit the tune switch
Earth, Wind and Fire, dancing away to September. Like

We could be your medicine
Get you outta bed again
No need to cry
We could be your medicine
Stronger than you've ever been
To leap and fly

I'm from a family that never gives up
And every single one of us, had our share of terrible stuff
I've seen everybody get hit harder than Mcgregor
The definition of resilience, nobody better
And that's why, I'm finding it so brilliant
Cramming the family in for a jam at my nans residence
Every bit of sorrow disappears right quick
We make one, hell of a racket and it goes like this
My uncles, strumming the strings and I'm banging on things
And then the, family sings, bring the harmonies in
And then the, magic begins, cos nobody is sick, got you feeling rich no matter what your salary is
See, it's that easy, music does it to ya
Have a non believer singing glory hallelujah
Cos when your jam comes on, you get that stank face
Throwing away your troubles and giving you a blank...slate

We could be your medicine
Get you outta bed again
No need to cry
We could be your medicine
Stronger than you've ever been
To leap and fly

Call me Dr John but I'd never give drugs
I'd give a dude with the blues like 22 hugs
Or a set of headphones for some tunes the he loves
And I can almost guarantee that it would clear the blues up
It's a soother for the soul with the change it brings
Flip your life upside-down, stranger things
Music, Therapeutic, like I'm in the gym
Use it to get me through it, when I'm struggling to swim
Something to cling when the walls are caving in
Or when that tightrope you walk is getting very thin
You'll never feel Merry popping on them sedatives
A spoonful of Music is your medicine

Just a spoonful of Music makes the medicine go down
Medicine go dooowwwwwn
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of Music makes the medicine go down
In the most delightful way-ay-ay

We could be your medicine
Get you outta bed again
No need to cry
We could be your medicine
Stronger than you've ever been
To leap and fly
