Purging the Parasite

[Verse] I drank that bitter tonic, down by the old creek, Promised to cleanse my body, in just a couple weeks. They said to ditch the doctors, natural is the key, But now I'm feeling worse, what’s happening to me? [Verse 2] Early morning sunlight, it don't ease the pain, I’m searching for some answers, but it's drivin' me insane. The herbs and all the tinctures, they’re stacked up on the shelf, But this ol' folk solution, ain't helpin' my health. [Chorus] Oh, cleanse me of this crazy plan, I’m beggin’ for an end. Science may be faulty, but I need a helping hand, Purging the parasite, ain't working like they planned. [Verse 3] They said avoid the tablets, the pills from a lab, Instead I found myself in this healing-minded cab. The ride it’s gettin’ bumpy, my guts in disarray, This country remedy, ain't showin' me the way. [Verse 4] I spent my nights in worry, my days in pure regret, Believed in nature’s power, but it ain't done me good yet. I used to trust the old ways, the roots and tree bark stew, But now I lie here prayin’, for somethin' real and true. [Chorus] Oh, cleanse me of this crazy plan, I’m beggin’ for an end. Science may be faulty, but I need a helping hand, Purging the parasite, ain't working like they planned.
