As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Verse 1]
           E                    C
Take your medicine don't you remember

                E                       C       E
When me and you both agreed to send the factory overseas

          C
And do ourselves a big favor

        G                        D
Run the whole damn nation off of slave labor

E         C                                  E
Groceries that's a word I haven't heard in a long time

             C                     E               C
Must be some form of chore for the poor and simple minded

                 G                       D
For peasants and poppers with sad little lives
[Chorus]
            A                         C
Take your medicine, hope it goes down quick

            A
Take your medicine

                             C
I never even knew that I was sick
[Verse 2]
            E               C
Take your medicine cuz it's personal

      E        
I can hear the cheers

            C               E        
It's like a Super Bowl of I told you so's

          C                      G                             D
But there ain't no joy and there ain't no ball and there ain't no goal

              E              C                        E
They sold the company to the global multinational conglomerate

              C                        E
But quit your snowflake bitchin', come off of it

         C
The cats out of the bag

             G                       D
We're in the golden age and we ain't going back
[Chorus]
          A
Take your medicine

                           C
You're already down to the wire

          A
Take your medicine

A
The joke's on you 

        C
Forever thinking that you'd retire
[Harmonica Solo] E C E C E C E C [Verse 3]
            E
Take your medicine

             C                           E
You're gonna feel the squeeze while they all play golf

         C                  E
And fly around for free the jokes on you

              C
And the jokes on me

               G                         D
You know we're footing the bill for a billionaire greed
[Chorus]
            A
Take your medicine

                C
Oh it goes down quick

            A
Take your medicine

                             C
I never even knew that I was sick
[Outro] E C E C E C E
