"All Bottled Up" copyright July 22, 2019 by Gary E. Andrews
(Verse I)
I remember Momma,
sayin', "He was my bottle baby!"
I listened to her talk,
about how I was so crazy!
She said, "I know it's because,
I didn't breastfeed him enough!"
Now I think it's all her fault,
I'm All Bottled Up!
(Chorus)
I keep my feelings to myself!
I don't talk to no one else!
No one knows what's on my mind!
I'm All Bottled Up, all the time!
All Bottled Up!
All Bottled Up!
(Verse II)
I talk to bartenders,
about beer and the baseball game.
I don't tell 'em nothin',
about the things that cause me shame!
I always wear sunglasses,
I keep my windows covered up!
Yes I think it's Momma's fault,
I'm All Bottled Up!
I keep my feelings to myself!
I don't talk to no one else!
No one knows what's on my mind!
I'm All Bottled Up, all the time!
All Bottled Up!
All Bottled Up!
(Bridge)
Nurse Ratchett and the Doctor,
made a recommendation.
They said I could feel better,
if I took their medication.
I took one pill and don't you know
I saw the devil in my coffee up.
I ain't lettin' no Doctor,
get me All Bottled Up!
I keep my feelings to myself!
I don't talk to no one else!
No one knows what's on my mind!
I'm All Bottled Up, all the time!
No one knows what's on my mind!
I'm All Bottled Up, all the time!
All Bottled Up!
All Bottled Up!

It occurs to me to let these Characters speak for themselves:
Nurse Ratchett and the Doctor,
made a recommendation.
They said, "You could feel better,
if you take our medication!"
I took one pill and don't you know
I saw the devil in my coffee up.
I ain't lettin' no Doctor,
get me All Bottled Up!

I like it Gary. Dr.s want to push pills to cure everything!

Doctors have magic pills for everyone and everything, just like the Pharmaceutical companies who gave 100's of millions of dollars to the Medical Schools told them to teach them. And the 'students' trusted the 'teachers' because, 'They're the experts!'
Only they don't cure anything. They just 'treat', like high-blood pressure pills. You've still got it. The pills just hide it from Doc's usual tests. And they call that 'medicine'.
"How long do I have to take them Doc?" the patient asks.
"Until you die," Doc says, "or until my boat is paid for."

Yes ive addressed it in lyrics more than once! More money it maintainence than in a cure. Part of the modern American Hippocratic oath.
