I'm just a product of World War Two So I never really knew any better Out in the suburbs where things were new All the dreams of our folks ran together But on the way to their destination They second mortgaged their expectations All of this in God's favorite nation If you're feeling down just take two 'Cause we got... Chemistry...don't think about it Chemistry...can't live without it Chemistry...better living through Chemistry...for you and me, baby We started early on make-believe It's a part of the American dream And I know people who just won't believe If it's not on a TV screen We're gonna see that you feel all right A little something get you through the night And we don't care if your black or white Don't you worry 'cause the first one's free 'Cause we got... Chemistry...don't think about it Chemistry...can't live without it Chemistry...better living through Chemistry...for you and me, baby Let's take advantage of the situation Let the man at the counter prescribe salvation Are there holes in your life that you're trying to fill 'Cause if you got a problem, boy we got a pill We got... Chemistry...don't think about it Chemistry...can't live without it Chemistry...oh better living through Chemistry...for you and me to fade
