[Intro]
We're prescribing you with medication
Fuck

[Verse 1]
Doctor says that I'm so lonely
A mistake on the painting of my family
But that big smudge is what I love
Give me a grenade, and I'll tape it to my face
Getting drunk at quarter to one
'Cause my dad is a geezer and he keys up my mum
You put it in my mouth, I’m gonna bite down
If that ain't normal then the pope is a right clown

[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in a white light, white heat (White heat)
Fire shots in our arms on your street (Your street)
Lost in a white light, white heat (White heat)
I'm blank, why you shouting at me?

[Chorus]
I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my
(My, my, my) My medication
I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my
(My, my, my) My motivation
I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my
(My, my, my) My medication
'Cause I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my
(My, my, my) My motivation

[Verse 2]
Doctor says "don't fight that feeling"
But my head is stuck to the ceiling
I can't get it off, you super-glued it on
It's like my bad scene stuck in a wet dream
My heart is a bomb, it just ticks along
With a bang, bang, bang on a beat up tin drum
I'm an experiment of young irrelevance
I'm insecure so I got a tattoo of an elephant

[Pre-Chorus]
Lost in a white light, white heat (White heat)
Fire shots in our arms on your street (Your street)
Lost in a white light, white heat (White heat)
I'm blank, why you shouting at me?

[Chorus]
I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my
(My, my, my) My medication
I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my
(My, my, my) My motivation
I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my
(My, my, my) My medication
'Cause I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my
(My, my, my) My motivation

[Bridge]
You cannot pretend there’s no dirt on your shirt
'Cause that’s not how it works, no, that’s not how it works
You try to perceive that you're so squeaky clean
But that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works
You cannot pretend there’s no dirt on your shirt
'Cause that’s not how it works, no, that’s not how it works
You try to perceive that you're so squeaky clean
But that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works

[Chorus]
I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my
(My, my, my) My medication
I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my
(My, my, my) My motivation
I just wanna take my, I just wanna take my
(My, my, my) My medication
'Cause I just wanna find my, I just wanna find my
(My, my, my) My motivation

Dominic Richard Harrison, who performs under the moniker of YUNGBLUD, fuses alternative rock and hip-hop while speaking up on important topics like mental illness and politics. Hailing from Doncaster, England, he cites acts like Arctic Monkeys and Eminem as influences.

Harrison grew up surrounded by music, and in several interviews he mentions that his parents placed a ukulele in his hands within days of his birth. His father owned a guitar shop and his grandfather was part of T. Rex.

Before becoming YUNGBLUD, he performed as Harrison, releasing songs like “Miss Those Days” with an upbeat acoustic flare. In his late teens, Harrison was approached by a record label, and conformed to their expectations hoping for a successful career, but he left the label in favor of making the music he truly wanted to create.
