Paid in Brains |
You’re sitting calm and unalarmed |
But it won’t be long — it’ll have you wrapped around your finger with its charm |
Then you won’t speak, and you won’t breathe |
And so you see how this is all you’ll ever be? |
It takes your soul |
It makes it old |
It sands it down, bleaches it out until it’s sold all for a pill |
A cheaper thrill |
You’ll swallow more because you’ll never get your fill |
Well help yourself, your high won’t wait |
It’s a special strain developed by the State |
It comes on quick |
It don’t let up |
So tell your friends about it, help em all get fucked |
So have a seat, and take a breath |
We’ll chalk an X up on the day the high’ll end |
You’re talkin hours? |
I’m talking days |
We’re talkin take a break from work cause where you’re going you tell dime a |
million ways |
Pay! |
The price is brains! |
We’re all insane! |
Pay! |
The price is brains! |
Don’t be ashamed — we’re all insane! |
Tying up a loose-end life? |
Been fighting all your years just to find a different way to die? |
So sad, but I’m glad we get to talk about it just so I can … Fuck You! |
Now you’re sitting numb, deaf, blind, and dumb |
It worries some, but in your skull you’re so content to be a lump |
We’ll bring you feed — that’s all you need |
And make you bleed because you just can’t measure up |
Go help yourself |
High couldn’t wait |
Oh yeah, that special strain developed by the State |
It came on quick, it won’t let up, don’t tell your friends about it they’re |
already fucked |
Tying up a loose-end life? |
Been fighting all your years just to find a different way to die? |
So sad, but I’m glad we get to talk about it just so I can call you bad |
So long! |
When we arrived I could bet that we’d be singing this old song |
So long! |
When we arrived I could bet that we’d be singing this old song |
Pay! |
The price is brains! |
We’re all insane! |
Pay! |
The price is brains! |
