What does it do to an adolescent boy
When the wolverines move in
And the child doesn't have a chance
Because he's jacked up on Ritalin

Who threw him into the wolf pit
Who neutered his defense
Who stripped him of his right
For even simulation of the pretense

He took his own life
But not before survival of the fittest
Over rode the dosage of the drug
In his attempt to over come

The wolf pack that would stalk
The halls of a school made Hell
It was futile to resist
For his attitude would tell

And mom and dad sense something wrong
So off the the Doctor to dwell
For an updose of prescription creed
To squelch the resistance he would need

To make it in a world of boys
Pretending to be men by making noise
To threaten those who'd cower
To show their virile power

Ritalin strikes again
Another kid with no chance to win
Because of the zombie like control
That a Ritalin life has for a soul

Peace be with you Anthony
As well as your twin
Who now dwells here alone
Because of a drug called Ritalin
