Social Drugs

    These social drugs
    Messing with my mind
    These social drugs
    Telling me im fine

    These social drugs
    Messing with my head
    These social drugs
    They want me dead

    Afraid to address
    All the reality before me
    Too proud to confess
    That im addicted to a lie
    So I seek temporary feelings
    To replace reality
    Though the truth is telling me I should die, no
    BUT IVE BEEN TAUGHT TO LOVE IT
    But they just don't confront it
    I hate when I found out
    That I can't do what I wanted
    This emotional tantrum
    Has become somewhat of an anthem playing FOR TIME TO TAKE A LITTLE TRIP

    To hide this condemnation
    I find a compilation
    Of a manmande stimualtion
    to deny my situation
    Now because reality
    is distorting what I see
    Reporting FACTS THAT LEAD
    A sense of false security

    So in my imagination
    Oh I must find a recreation
    DESPERATELY SEARCHING WAYS
    To open my sensations
    theres no equilibrium
    inebriated till im numb
    intoxicated till im dumb
    to avoid confrontation

    these social drugs
    messing with my mind
    these social drugs
    telling me im blind

    these social drugs
    messing with my head
    these social drugs
    telling me im dead

    now this chemical analogy
    is our emotional reality
    these political
    traditional
    and ethical stimulants
    when the SOCIAL MEDICAID
    wont let us be too upset
    to the way things really are
    in DARKENED CAMOFLAUGE we pray
    and those religious structures
    tell us GOD want us to suffer
    to suppot a situation
    we all know is obligation
    and if you shun an obligation
    they'll just gun your repuation
    like mob intimidation
    to enforce participation

    see they need to keep us fiends
    to their lies and broken dreams
    and if you find another means
    toe-tip into the stream
    and if you wanted to get clean
    theres this pool of social streams
    holding up their social GOLD
    deifying noble things

    now were all stuck in tradition
    unable to state out position
    to afraid to contradict
    the expectations of the system
    oh and the harsh reality
    is they've made Grace for you and me
    because
    theyre just enslaving you and me!!!

    these social drugs
    messing with my mind
    these social drugs
    telling me im fine

    these social drugs
    messing with my head
    these social drugs
    telling me im dead
