Otep Numb And Dumb
i'm tired of being tired
sick of being sick
i'm tired of being tired
sick of being sick
erase & escape
the meathooks of reality
erase & escape
the meathooks of reality
lock the door
load your guns
and pray for nothing!
(i don't care, i don't care
i don't care, i don't care)
and daddy's shooting smack
and mama's smoking crack
and teacher is a sex addict
and preacher has a porn habit
and sister's such a whore
and my life is a bore
take your vitamins
whiten your teeth
comb your hair
know when to speak
they say jesus was a masochist
but maybe they said, pacifist...
sweet goddess of narcotics
on my knees i pray
just give me one more dose
& make it all go away
make me completely numb & dumb
(watch your tone, obey the law,
know when to bend, believe in god)
i took his wife into my mouth
like a slice of wedding cake
i went back for extra helpings
& then i cleaned my plate
still covered in her yolk
the wet drug of my addiction
i'm nature's little criminal
a selfish crucifixion
oh sweet scarecrow in the sky
you have all the answers
but we will never die
sweet goddess of narcotics
on my knees i pray
just give me one more dose
& make it all go away
make me completely numb & dumb
i ran out the front door
the devil's at the backdoor
whispering to the sea
& above
a black feathered sun
drunk on teenage meat
i don't care,
i don't care,
i don't care,
i don't care
make me completely numb & dumb
medicate & sedate
pass the punishment
i need another fix
