about

Keeping us in our place...

lyrics

Do you want to shake the truth
from every soul you meet?

Does it feel like the worlds crashed down
on you my dear old friend?

Cause in the middle of the day
Your habits are here
You've been lied to
Stoned out
Drunk and in the brig…

There onto you my friend
Hanging out to days on end
or punch the clock
And one more time We'll
be American Dope.
American Dope.

I'm in real pain you see.
I'm nothing but angry
Educated who cares?
I'm American despair

CHORUS:
Yeah there coming for you
Yeah it's in the formula
get them on drugs
Like pigs at the trough
Keep em on the outside
Until there ending is lost
Meanwhile they are squeezing
Everyone to be saved…
The history books are written
By religions they made
And those drugs, drugs, dope, dope…

Do you want to know the truth?
My guess is that you don't
Were we programmed by IBM?
Fibonacci, Bible Codes?
As we try to make our way
In the changing world
We can't hide our heads in the sand no more
Cause there on to you my friend
Hanging on for days on end
or punch the clock
And one more time we'll be American Dope

Yeah there coming for you!
Yeah it's in the formula to
Get them on drugs
Like pigs at the trough
Keep em on the outside
Until there ending is lost
Meanwhile they are squeezing
Everyone to be saved…
history books are written
By religions they made…

And those drugs drugs dope yeah
Yeah there coming for ya
Yeah it's in the formula...
Get them on drugs
Like pigs at the trough
Keep em on the outside
Until there ending is lost
Meanwhile they are squeezing
Everyone to be saved…
history books are written
By religions they made…
Drugs Drugs Dope Dope
