everybody loves somebody says one song, and what becomes of the broken hearted asks another.
one of the latter made this music compilation as the flight went down.

Lyrics:
You’ve been tested in the market for decades,
Your effects on hearts is well known.
And somehow your medicine stays legal,
Though the victims are scraped to the bone.
chorus:
In the interests of those buying your medicine,
I think they oughta put a warning label on you.
Data spoke of internal combustions,
People’s insides spilled out on the floor.
Reports of heart damage irreversible,
And effects on tear-ducts by the score.
chorus
When it’s working the effects are addicting,
A state of euphoria is guaranteed.
But when withdrawal rounds the inevitable corner,
It’s like a rug pulled from under your feet.
chorus
I signed myself in for rehabilitation
‘Cause like a monkey you crawled on my back
They say there are signs of recovery
And writing songs will keep me on track
chorus
