“Sugar Pills” by From Our Hands – A Song Feature

 

      Up to and including the early half of the 1960s, the Folk genre was the platform for songs that effectively served as commentaries on societal woes. Now, socially conscious songs are sprinkled throughout the genres, with the largest grouping probably found in Hip-hop/Rap. “Sugar Pills” mounts its awareness on driving Rock guitar, power percussion, and vocals with varying degrees of aggressiveness. The band, From Our Hands, leaves no doubt regarding their dissatisfaction with activity on the internet. The lyrics are included in this post (above the YouTube video).
 
      The drums set an appealing rhythm at the start of “Sugar Pills,” with the guitar soon joining with a tenacious riff. Still, the vocals and lyrics define the power of the song. The song notes that people are too quick to judge others based merely upon their birthplace and they too often reach conclusions on the basis of headlines rather than facts. It’s tiresome engaging in internet arguments with people who have lost touch with reality. And we love the song's emphatic shout of “The cure for cancer is not the internet!”
 
      “Sugar Pills” is the first release from “Superheavy,” the upcoming album of From Our Hands. It has been almost 9 years since the band’s last album, “Individuals.” The member of From Our Hands are Matej Hoťka (vocals, guitar), Matej Turcer (guitar), Richard Klimo (bass), and Roman Kelemen (drums). They are based in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Lyrics of “Sugar Pills” by From Our Hands
People have found a new buzz.
They're hooked on them headlines and thus
Ignore all the facts, that lie in front of their eyes.
Why do they do this to me?
 
I’m sorry but I’m getting bored
by all that shit. And what’s even worse
I find it useless to argue 'bout why
Sugar pills ain’t helping me.
 
You know, I’m sorry
But the Earth ain’t flat
And no diet’s stop your ageing, I’m sure.
 
It makes me worry
about the human race.
One thing you need to know…
The cure for cancer is not the internet!
 
Just get yourself a life.
Just get yourself a life.
 
Tell me please what’s all the fuss
'bout nations and flags?
With most of you I got nothing in common. So fuck!
Don’t draw your lines around me.
 
I’m sorry but I’m getting bored
by all that shit. And what’s even worse
don’t wanna argue with someone who lost
touch with reality.
 
I feel so sorry
for people like that.
The ones who judge you based on where you were born.
 
I always worry
that they're the same
as those that want you to know,
that the cure for cancer is the internet!
 
Just get yourself a life.
Just get yourself a life.
 
I see it everyday.
I fear it might be too late.
You can’t change something that’s broken from the start.
 
I see it everyday.
I fear it might be too late
For someone that has been broken from the start.
 
Just get yourself a life.
Just get yourself a life.
Just get yourself a life.
Just get yourself a life.
