lyrics

dna and fingerprints
documents in triplicate
kids gettin high on anti life
in synthetic skin
an the starlights gone in every place and
they die for darkseid
I seen on the news that scott free caught one
slug ripped through his heart like
it's nothing, asked to see the warrant just before they kicked the door in
cannot record the cops in boston this is war
and we lost it
time goes down the faucet
neighbors watchin, talkin
I knew there was something wrong with him
open wounds from when I tried to get close to you
but I live in the panopticon where all your neighbors take notes on you
my dreams play out in technicolor
musics in computers
lines up precise in infinite grids
that look just like the future
xanax cocktails
how do they taste like nothing?
I'd rather sleep forever than to deal with this country
xanax cocktails
how do they taste like nothing?
I'd rather sleep forever than to deal with this country


takin my sex in pill form
an I hope your body's still warm
remember you say you love my features
tell me will you kill for him
dwell on it. still wanted
johnny law don't ever rest
and he don't understand and he don't relent
there's a war outside and it never ends
the synagogue this morning, the butchers came with guns and knives
five dead, only jews, it's a kind of justice right
the world's sick, inverted speech, married to a crucifix
married to a bloody moon these human pigs
die for darkseid,
no miracles left or prophets
die for darkseid
when i'm stuck inside of boston
satellites on fire, the hunger dogs at the gates
I don't got any sympathy for people with silver plates
xanax cocktails
how do they taste like nothing?
I'd rather be sleeping than to deal with this country
xanax cocktails
how do they taste like nothing?
I'd rather be sleeping than to deal with this country

you know if I won't have you babe
no one else will have you
told you the day you quit me babe
the day they carve your crying statue
swamps are full of secrets
flowers kept in ether
the kids jump into the mouth of brass
or else die in arenas for caeser
for preachers, for sedatives in several scripts
desaturate the color scheme
you can see it like it really is
really been in abyssinia
several years with no compassion
just some tapes of the twilight zone
and dirty flicks and tobacco
velvet goldmine,
they'll never take my rayguns
america's full of cops and clerks
and I renounce that nation
telegrams from sound machines that simulate emotion and
all the slaves of antilife whose veins bleed coca cola
xanax cocktails
how do they taste like nothing?
I'd rather be sleeping than to deal with this country
xanax cocktails
how do they taste like nothing?
I'd rather be sleeping than to deal with this country
