At present, the FDA takes an average of 12 years to review and approve new drugs for treatment of disease. Some people don't have that much time. They deserve get a chance to try new treatments in advance of full approval. This song is about that chance.

lyrics

Baby needs healing
Baby needs care
Baby needs pure adrenaline
Baby needs sunlight
Coming in clear
Baby needs good, good medicine

Good medicine

Baby needs sunshine
Baby needs rain
Sending in love from the heavens
Baby needs science
For killing the pain
Baby needs good, good medicine
Ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh

Hard times...nothing's changing and so many in need
Hard times...hope is hanging by a thread
Hard times...paper hearts are pretty but they don’t bleed
Hard times...when they come for you instead

We’ve taken our chances
Taken our shot
Open the gates and let us in
For the things that we’re given, and the
Things we ain’t got
Holding out hope, for Good Medicine

Good medicine
Good, good medicine
Ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
