lyrics
This is the way of the Western World
This is the way of Western Civilization
And its all gotta end
So we can build it back up again
I take 2 because its better than 1
I know the side effects can come on strong
And when the serotonin starts to rush on in
I start to see things in a different light
With a dollar sign attached
to the roof of theirs mouths
The masters of our race become the slaves
I don’t follow any rules
At least none that I didn’t make
I stay hidden in the shadows where its safe
I see colors forming shapes
Every time I close my eyes
Visions of neon paradise
Life gets stranger by the day
The new american way
Leading us straight towards the abyss
Enter the age of war on all that still exists
The stage is set, theatre candlelit
The auditorium is filled up to the brim
I take 2 because its better than 1
I know the side effects can come on strong
And when the serotonin starts to rush on in
I know I'm staying up through the night
