Prescribing Horror

[Verse 1] Discarded, deformed Babies of the chemical age Mutated, some unborn Dying in their fetal cage On the day of the nativity in '56 Comes a child forsaken The first of a hundred thousand Cursed by a drug they'd taken [Chorus] Condemned to a life unkind As they suffered in silence The Hell of Thalidomide All in the name of science A mother's ruin All for another's greed Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed [Verse 2] Miscarriage, disparagе Live a life of anguish Midwives wеre taking lives So the child it would not languish Suffocating newborn daughters and sons For their malformations Given toxic poison That twisted a generation [Chorus] Condemned to a life unkind As they suffered in silence The Hell of Thalidomide All in the name of science A mother's ruin All for another's greed Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed [Verse 3] First created in the past As an antidote for Sarin gas Created in camps of death What price a pound of flesh? Limbless, eyeless All organs displaced They made money hand over fist By selling this toxic waste [Chorus] Condemned to a life unkind As they suffered in silence The Hell of Thalidomide All in the name of science A mother's ruin All for another's greed Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed
