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
Don't be ashamed
We're all insane!
