Obedience to the law is free desire
Under curfew from neon barbed wire
Wasting away this country, wearing like a born dead
Free heroin shots for those who never beg
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eyes
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
The only free choice is refusal to pay
Life reduced to suicidal pain
Cigarettes a life-line, it's safety in death
Choking on the billboards, advertised and fed
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eyes
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence
You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence
Album Quote
"The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition" - Henry Miller
Obedience to the law is free desire
Under curfew from sharp neon barbed wire
Wasting away this country, wearing like a born dead
Free heroin shots for those who will no longer beg
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Spitting glass from our mouths
Dying like yesterday
The only free choice is the refusal to pay
Life reduced to suicidal comforting
Cigarette death, it's suckling
Choked on the same lines that we've all said
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Spitting glass from our mouths
Dying like yesterday
You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
