Medication for us all, it is a new way
& we're gonna take it cause wa love it
Don't you know?
Is this the dose you've been dreamin' of?
A revelation from a gun
Doesn't matter
Overtaken, mine was yours, now overthrown
Just copulation in a song
I'mso contagious, can i cum?
In the new way
All of us cast asides became what has become
Medication for us all
You think you know me, well you're wrong
Doesn't matter
All of us cast asides became what has become
& we're gonna take it cause wa love it
Don't you know?
Is this the dose you've been dreamin' of?
A revelation from a gun
Doesn't matter
Overtaken, mine was yours, now overthrown
Just copulation in a song
I'mso contagious, can i cum?
In the new way
All of us cast asides became what has become
Medication for us all
You think you know me, well you're wrong
Doesn't matter
All of us cast asides became what has become

"...we have a song called Better Living Through Chemisty which is an anti-drug song. It's saying okay, the government says 'it's okay for you to take Prozac everyday, every single day, to feel better and feel absolutely numb. Don't smoke that joint though, you!'"
This song definitely falls in the same vein, on the surface. But this song does play with the role of "medication" a bit more than Better Living Through Chemistry. In the second verse Homme refers to medication as "the dose you've been dreamin' of" and a "revelation from a gun". He's pointing out the that medicine can be both a cure and a poison.
Really, I could dive into this with some literary references et tout, but I'll spare you.

First off, stop bashing the stoners. That would be like me saying people who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol are morons too, because those substances are actually worse for your health.
Also most people who smoke weed will never touch meth, because they actually know how fucked up it is.
I'm sorry, but I am personally offended by people who are offended by individuals that choose to smoke grass.
By the by, I believe this song is about people who over-do it with the drugs they use, and possibly suicidal feelings that come along with it.
"Is this the dose you've been dreaming of? A revelation from a gun."
Sort of reminds me of as a person gets high as they possibly can, they see everything as a revelation, intense. A feeling you would get as if you were about to commit suicide.
"All of us cast asides became what has become."
We all know what has become of people who have over done it with the drugs and runied their lives. To me they were seen as cast asides, so they chose to try hard drugs to substitute for company.
But they have become alone and in love with nothing else besides the medication.
