Lyrics

Having a good time, picking up highlights, occasionally crossing the line
Went to the doctor, that's when he told me you're running out of time
The pills that he gave me,they wouldn't save me, just give me a few more years
That's when i told him, there's no point in fixing something that aint broken

Experimental, chemical kid, no i wont be a guinea pig
refusing their treatment, they wouldn't treat me, waiting for me to get sick
Self medication, helping me live long, slowing the virus down
playing a card game, having a good time, ignoring the danger signs
 
They gave me pills to keep me alive, but I question why ?
Playing poker with my life, i don't want to die
 
balancing pain with a place in the fast lane, burning the midnight oil
Getting weaker, with only weeks left, i had to take the pills
improved medication,threw me a life line, getting me back on track
I'm a survivor, i'm still alive now there's nothing to hold me back
 
They gave me pills to keep me alive, I still question why ?
Playing poker with my life, gonna reach that high
 
Coz i'm having a good time
