The Pills Won’t Help You Now Lyrics

[Verse]
Thought we were going
To go up the field a ways
To join all the other living souls
But you never came
Robbed of your fortune
They gave disappointments and lies
You're probably poisoning your body
I hope you're alright

[Chorus]
In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Won't you cry

[Verse]
Thought we were going
To go up the field a ways
To join all the other living souls
But you never came
Robbed of your fortune
They gave disappointments and lies
You're probably poisoning your body
I hope you're alright
[Chorus]
In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Won't you cry

[Verse]
Robbed of your fortune
They gave disappointments and lies
You're probably poisoning your body
I hope you're alright

[Chorus]
In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Won't you cry
In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Won't you cry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
