Lyrics for Song: War On Drugs
Lyrics for Album: Everything To Everyone [2003]
She likes to sleep with the radio on
So she can dream of her favorite song
The one that no one has ever sung since she was small
She'll never know that she made it up
She had a soul and we ate it up
Blown away like a paper cup, the music falls
The only flaw in her detailed plan
Is where she wins back the love of her man
Everyone knows that he's never coming back
He took her heart and she took his name
He couldn't stand taking all the blame
He left her only with guilt and shame
And then she cracked
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us to keep us company?
In the dream I refuse to have
She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath
We're left to deal with the aftermath again
On behalf of humanity
I will fight for your sanity
How profound such profanity can be
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us to keep us company?
Won't it be odd to be happy like we always thought we're s'posed to feel
But never seem to be
Near where I live, there's a viaduct
where people jump when they're out of luck
Raining down on the cars and the trucks below
They put a net there to catch their fall
Like that will stop anyone at all
What they don't know is when nature calls, you go
They say that Jesus and mental health
Are just for those who can help themselves
What good is that when you live in Hell on Earth?
The very fear that makes you want to die
Ends up the same as what keeps you alive
It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us to keep us company?
Won't it be odd to be happy like we always thought we're s'posed to feel
But never seem to be
Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs
My hands were tied and the phone was bugged
Another died and the world just shrugged it off
