Rx Bandits Album

It's over
I must have seen her face before
I fell in love when I was born
Now they hide her with a whisper
It's over

Am I crazy because I want to touch your skin?
Is it ludicrous that I've got nothing to believe in that
was built by human hands or controlled by demand?
So if love is true, let's burn the factory,
take off your shoes it's time for dancin'

I never leave the house without a pocket of pills,
operator, operator I've got no solitude
from the digging hands (no way)
I think I'm losing it and I can't keep up
operator, operator it's nothing personal
but i'm choking tears, I'm thinking bout giving in
It's no better than before, it's just never mentioned

We keep running this race that can't be won,
I keep coming up empty
Doctor doctor you know they try to sell my trust
and they call me crazy
Box to box you know it never stops,
we're playing boomerang highways
in an endless search for meaning
I pray for something real
One kiss for all the world, a taste for all that's precious

Take it away release all your tension

All their paper never feels like my lovers kiss
or the warmth of her touch while we dream
so if I'm insane so be it, I'll trade in everything
One kiss for all the world, one more for all that's precious

Are we going nowhere?
We need disaster to love until we're blinded
indeed we are caught, what if we get free?

Take it away and it's all your strife
Take it away release all your tension

A blue square to numb the pain
white hexagons to accelerate
swallow yellow to relax
whiskey and a green one to forget the past

Speak to me now,
won't you put your guns in the ground?
Let's sing till our voices break the sound

Doctors say that I'm insane
while rectangles now to concentrate
another yellow to relax
scribbled down solutions to erase the past

Got me feeling like an outsider
They're in her drawer
but she says she doesn't take em
Got me feeling like an outsider
They're in her drawer
but she does not take em all
Oh no now we've all been diagnosed
oh no I can not feel at all

Society creates symptoms;
the system medicates them
(there is no progress in a cure,
they've got their eyes on the return
it came from our own hand
to squeeze the last survivor)

Kiss me baby, make it better, kiss me baby
you can make it better
Would you, would you ever?
Could you, could you ever?
(watch your life through a screen)

There's a girl stuck in the mirror
And she stares into my eyes
She says she kiss me tender
I say I don't love her but I know it's a lie

And lately she's been lonely
I couldn't tell you why
Ohh no
She lives without emotion
She makes me better
Only for the night
Only for the night
Only for the night yeah yeah
Only for the night yeah yeah

Ohh, last night I dreamt about her
And our bodies mocked our minds
Her taste was so familiar
I say I don't need her but I know it's a lie

I swear that it's the last time
that I lay down with her
Ohh, she holds me when I'm shaking
And it makes me better
Only for the night
Only for the night
Only for the night yeah yeah
Only for the night yeah yeah

I swear, I swear, this is the last time I tie it
I swear, I swear, this is the last time I tie it

She used to dream of moving pictures
Now she slips into the sky

Lately I've been lonely
I couldn't tell you why
She live without emotion
It makes me better
Only for the night
Only for the night
Only for the night

Well I got a reason my goals defined words in a line and my politics
(every word is true)
Oh i got my lover with her legs up high, my fingertips on her light switch
If someone found the way to save us from ourselves
(oh dear you're only dreaming)

And you got a letter you got a number you got a dream you make your personal hell
(year yeah...)
and we got obligation to production
we got the angels in a rubber cell with their hands tied up
If you can find a way to make the world yourself
(oh dear it's only dreaming)

There's a blue eyed pretty woman saying things that she don't mean
come on baby don't you listen lock your doors up tight tonight
cause there's a million people dying and there's bound to be more
learned its just from listening to a faithful faithful imitation
cause we breathe in everything
It's in our eyes and it's in our skin speaks a holy replication
with her checks all sunken in, bloody nose and a plastic grin
he needs a pill just to feel her insides, she needs a crutch just to wake her up
ghost-eyed man and the walking dead what does feeling really feel like?
digging up a body from a burial ground, wipe the bones off nice and clean
mother don't breast feed your children with a plastic mouse and a crystal screen
now theres more white people talking about a war that's make believe
doctor spins a word like freedom we pretend to know just what it means

And it's your only day, do you got all the truth?
oh you never feel the way you were...

I must have seen it, it's so familiar
oh she looks so familiar
must have seen it, oh you look so familiar

I must have seen her face before, I fell in love when I was born
now they hide her with a whisper, it's over

So it goes, never been a better time might as well make it now?

Oh it's your only day & you got all the truth
oh you'll never feel the way you were
now it's your only day is it all the truth?
Oh you never feel the way you were

The dead hand of the past only wishes to control your future

I must have seen it, it's so familiar
oh it looks so familiar
must have seen it

Yeah we all listen to everything the man says
can't speak a sentence, we got the words placed

Stars keeping falling far from space, we're a million miles an hour, fast asleep

How do you feel, how do you feel when you're alone?

It's time for action, they tried to take our love!
Where is your passion, where do you get yours?

Stars keeping falling far from space, we're a million miles an hour, fast asleep

How do you feel, how do you feel when you're alone?

Got our bodies squeezed into digital molds, we can't breathe & we're moving too slow
God is solid between a video screen, a plastic wall & a broken material dream
It's time to memorize your numbers, a code to signify your face
Your thumb is pushing down on the plunger, pick up your feet so you can put em in place
There's an inside rumor of a beggar, who got all that he need in his hands,
he said he ain't no good with possession cause he can't keep track & he don't need a plan
They say the old woman got the wisdom, cause she couldn't read a clock anymore
she said the numbers don't represent the moments & she don't see what all that ticking's for
"they selling you time with repeat stimuli right in front of your eyes till you feel paralyzed
you're the only one who can define real"
Tell me right now how you really feel

She says she's gonna come over tonight
look like a ghost sound like a whisper shivering down my spine
I'm just a traveling soul, say you'd never leave me alone,
tell me you need me so tonight
She come creeping up slow
I got no place, no place to go
but now I'm feeling like I fell for you oh baby, no don't you sell it
Story's always different, no matter who's telling it,
now I'm feeling like I fell for you

Apparition

I know she lurking the streets tonight,
sound like silence, slink like a drifter
'tween the darkness & the flickering light
She's just a wandering soul, oh I can't let it go,
tell me it isn't so tonight

I swear I heard something sneaking through my corridor,
memories loat like specters, keeps on haunting me evermore

Hey you with all your secrets the story has just begun
we see right through your scare tactics
and your feeble attempts at diversion
Make no difference, make no difference who's to blame
cause the only thing left that's constant is a change
I say you better move if you can't lend a hand
cause we're gonna make our own way
Sun is setting on your dark day
whose to blame, said who's to blame

Yes you, Mr. Untouchable, you're pointing all your fingers through
putting guns in the hands of our children,
are their lives just a game to you?
Tell me is your money that good? Will it buy you love?
Do you think that it could?
The wheels still spinning & it's coming around
all it takes is a spark to burn it all down

Move your body round, I say I wont let it fade out
move your body down, we can't let it fade out

You Mr. Elation, with all your perfect plans for peace
until the power of love can exceed the love of power
you know it can never, never be,
Makes no difference, makes no difference who's to blame
cause the only thing left that's constant is a change
you better move if you can't lend a hand
cause we're gonna make it our own way
sun is rising to a brighter day who's to blame?

This is how the story goes,
I've got something that I stole
a manuscript, a document
a failure & an argument
kiss to sleep right through the night
promise me & i wont fight,
in an innocent way i shuttered sick
scratched to solve the un-relievable itch

They say the holy wars
were all started by hired crooks
if you believe in your heart, now it's time to let go
Forget tomorrow's sermon
or let the moment pass you by
It's too late

Numbers keep climbing gotta keep up the pace
uproot the lines as they grow on your face
career is over time to take of your clothes
feel the drip as it numbs all you know
it's only skin, oh it's only skin
and you can't stop the reasper
from the sythe that she's swinging
a cut, a shot, the heat of her thighs,
eyes that are crazy cause you can't find a friend

I said the time is now & we got all
the time is now we got it, got it all, we got it.

At the end of the world we'll all have a big party
from sea to sea & into the desert sands
we'll feel comfortable naked, won't need our
prescriptions
to asy we're happy and admit we're all scared
of growing old

Nos is the time, the time is now, it's not too late
we're running...

The first step's so called education
next chapter is assimilation
We keep you pacified so you will follow
It's a stand in line conglomerate
in a bigot workshop mortuary
We keep you satisfied so you will swallow

It's just beginner's luck if you get out, get out, get out
It's just beginner's luck if you get out
This finely fashioned fairy tale
spinds a web that's indestructible
and rife with lies
Sooth your sense till you're mine

Next we bring intimidation,
social status segregation
where you all justify & play consumer
fear works further toward division,
indiscriminate spastic decisions
we keep you paranoid, so you can't struggle

It's just beginner's luck if you get out, get out, get out
It's just beginner's luck if you get out
This finely fashioned fairy tale
spins a web that's indestructible
and rife with lies
fill your pockets, now you're mine

And if you find a vein, I'll be the medicine
I'll be the medicine for you
Oh my love, only you, my love

We weave a tale of our stark heroics,
swaying the public from our bully pulpits
Create illusions for imperial schemes
poor against the poor for democracy
While we rape that word with a swift incision
snatch up the poverty to fill up the prisons
boost economy with perpetual war
and everything you buy only feeds us more!
(so just keep buying...)

Written for you these words, the love of my life
the world is yours to discover
with brand new eyes
you're no player in a game of roles assigned
what you possess has no barter, no structure,
no insurmountable walls,
only barriers of perception

Don't you ever be afraid of all of your beauty
you can move without his words
or a grant of submission
Oh they try to smother
you're righteous ambition
and stifle your loving grace
they tell you its a little girl's place
to alter your convictions
no don't you wait...

Put it down, rhetoric
Shake it out now baby

They said you want it
they said you need it
but you don't need it anymore
(and you never did)

They thrust you their products
by making you feel insecure
the matriarch was murdered
and now woman is a four letter word
Put a price on your body
to convince you that it's all you're worth
they are afraid of the power they lose
and the gift of creation
so don't you ever listen!

A new adventure to a place we can't find
with our hands in each others
and a new world in our minds
When i'm inside you baby
your lips complete me
I'm intrigued by your design

The price of fame it don't come cheaply
could you point me to the meaning
Could you tell me what's in store?
we all want to live forever
locked inside your myths complete me
I'm intrigued by your disguise
We need a rager
so we can burn it to the ground,
it's contagious we can't slow down
We need a rager,
So we can burn it all to the ground
it's contagious we can't slow down

The picket line & the placed sign
don't mean nothing in the modern time
The past will die before the future's born
if living's what you're looking for
because they're the liars, cheats, victors in defeat,
a hollow eyed lover in a dirty magazine
they are the loose stomach staple
in a money machine add a little power
and you know they'll say anything

Locked inside your myth completes me,
I'm intrigued by your demise
We need a rager,
so we can burn it all to the ground
it's contagious, we can't slow down

Mother Culture money dream
don't sell me anything
market facet free for all
you can never steal our love!

Yeah, said you never mean it,
I'm bleeding in here from my open wounds
all that we gain is something
that we can not create
oh I never
No I never could come over to you

Locked inside your myth completes me
I'm intrigued by your disguise

Take as the leaves vanish
they came to steal the sun
quick like a laser beam
let's fall in love
