Rx Bandits Album

Look who’s got a new nose
Plastic lips and fake tits
Ever tasted silicon?
I’ve got scars on my eyes

Look who is the best dressed
Oh my gosh the worst hair
Who designed that mink coat?
I’ve got stars in my eyes

Guess who’s got a new car?
Bet she dates a rockstar
I wanna make a million
I’ve got lies in my mouth

Eyeshadow and glitter gold
Diamond rings and lip syncs
Anything material
I’ve got scars on my eyes

Baby, you know if you’re not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We’ll do you right up
I’m so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it’s all right cause one day
I know I’ll be fine like everyone else

Music played to advertise
Logo shirts and hair styles
Chop and cut monopolize
I’ve got scars in my mouth
Worship to the cash cow
Nod your head now take a bow
Faking grins and cleft chins
I’ve got stars in my eyes

Baby you know if you’re not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We’ll do you right up
I’m so obsessed with looking like celebrities
I have to throw up
With staple skin and back stab flattery
I’m coughing it up

Hey, little darling
I’ll sell you the definition
If you follow me through
Pages and channels of deceit
where everyone is perfect
And nobody grows old
Your bliss in the ignorance of images
'Cause beautiful is what they’re selling...
...I've got scars on my eyes

It's not how you feel, it's only how you look!

Baby you know if you're not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We'll do you right up
I'm so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it's all right cause one day
I know I'll be fine like everyone else

Our Eyes are bleeding
Courtesy of everything
That you could ever want to hide
Our veins are dry
Sometimes the truth cuts deeper
Than the sharpest knife

Looking is an awkward feeling
When you're beaten down
Anything to stop the burning
We've been running all around

We just survive
Too busy occupied with dying to
Stop and consider life
So many pretty pretty pictures
On the walls an on our fingertips
Let's sew the borders round it

Losing is an awkward feeling
When your bleeded down
Ain't no way to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long term problem
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it's the choices that we choose
Cause we're all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long term problem

I need
Just one more thing
To be completely blinded
Shoot it up, shoot it in,
Buried it under all this callous skin

Losing is an awkward feeling
When your bleeded down
Ain't no way to stop the burning
We've been running all around ourselves
And it's the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution
To a long term problem everyone

Innocence is way overrated now
Choking this sober feeling down
I guess you've come over me
So define lonely

Now America's got a brand new war
Can anybody tell me what we're fighting for?
Time to manufacture the illusion of safety
Don't fear, just consume to uphold the economy
Yeah we always buy everything that they're selling
Everything that they're selling

Paying for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we're headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that's the bottom line
It's time to cancel my subscription
I just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that's the bottom line

Now turn on the radio and hear what it's saying
Another hollow candy coated melody about nothing
Easier to sell it don't require you to think
Dumbed down drool, a fa§ade suck-cess
We're still buying everything that they're selling
Everything that they're selling

Now I'm lookin for the truth and solid meaning
So I can scrape the glass of both of my eyes
Stuffed to the gills
With a false sense of stubstance
And now I realize
So its time to cancel my subscription
I just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Wealth the spectacle of a greedy solution and That's the bottom line

Now I'm not buying anything that they're selling
Not giving in this time, this time, this time

Paying for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we're headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that's the bottom line
It's time to cancel my subscription
I just can't stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that's the bottom line

We've had enough
We've had enough
We've had enough of the politicians
We've had enough yeah
Of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love, come on
We've had enough of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
All we need right now is love

Turn it up
The future is held in the hands
Who right the textbooks
Ignorance is bred when falsified thinking is taught
To the youth instead of
Past mistakes and mind elevation,
Like the graves that manifest destiny has created
So we can build our
Capitalist consumer based economy,
To build, market,
And sell commodities we don't need
But we are trained to believe like celebrity imaging
Well I'm here to take my feelings back and I hope That you will be with me

I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh,
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all singing together,
Ooooohhhhhh
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all singing together,
Ahhh,

I can't wait for the day
When I hear us all screaming,
HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION.
When every race color
And creed of militant human beings stand up
With fists together for substance and true meaning
Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement
We're too caught up in
A material status quo punishment
And one thing is for sure
And that's the sun will always set,
Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite
So baby take a axe to your makeup kit
Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
Love with all your hearts and never forget
How good it feels to be alive
And strive for your desire
Just cause you can't see
Your cage doesn't mean that you are free
When there are laws against nature
But its ok for you to be
Addicted to over the counter prescriptions
And magazines dictate all our human relations

I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
To a culture that objectifies all of our women
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
The apathetic dribble on the news media's chin
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
The lies that are sold through textbooks to children
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
Cause the positive will
Always overcome the negative right

And we stay inside, its right outside,
We stand in line
We all enjoy the fences to keep it at bay
But I'm not giving in

Couldn't see the moon
When she came tonight
Emptiness inside her filled my room
I know its only distance
But its feels just like the end
I won't ask this same old question
Adamant resistance to my lasting desires
Searching for an explanation to why I sleep alone
Oh I'm not darling anymore
If you call you just use my name
Let these clenched fists open wide to see
Where all the answers lie

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With these pilled up smiles
And these sloppy eyes yeah
Oh isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings
From between your sheets
All the maybes in the world
Don't mean anything now
Pray its over soon
Never slept so soundly
Than with your breath on my neck

The Present has no future
The future has no past
The past is just a graveyard
For the lonely ghost REGRET
It's so hard to say good-bye
When I shake too much to hold
Let this blood within me run
So I can see the answers dry

Looking for a sign that Im still alive
With this junky smile and these sloppy eyes Yeah
Oh isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings
From between yoursheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
I pray its over soon

Finding our directions
Stumble
Stagger
Fall Away
Oh Yeah

Finding our direction
Let it lead the way
Part of what you borrowed
Can never be replaced
So pardon my deflection baby
There's no more blood to bleed
But if I can I'll be sewing up the seeds
Picking up what's left of me
To sing together

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With these pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes
Oh isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings
From between the sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean a thing
Isn't that the truth?

And I'm looking for reason that Im still alive with
These pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings
From between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
Pray its over soon

I never slept so soundly
Than with your breath on my neck

Yeah she moves so slowly like a lovers breath
Hoping I can hold it down and stand
But the aches and shakes don't seem to let up, no no
I got all the questions, and
She has all the answers for me now
Oh I don't believe it, no I don't believe her now

One more hope for tomorrow
Baby, one more kiss to forget you
Right, just what will bring us down
It keeps us together remembering
Its so easy to forget
Its so easy to forget
When you move so slow darling

Yeah she moves so slowly like a lovers breath
Hoping I can tear down the walls
And breathe what I never knew
All this girl could get into
I've got so many questions
And she got all the answers for me now
Oh I can't believe her, no I don't believe it now

One more hope for tomorrow
One more drink to forget
Just what will bring us down
Keeps us together remembering
Its so easy to forget

When I'm inside her I don't think twice
When she's in my blood you know it feels so nice
Shaking in the morning like
I've been kicked all night
When she's in my blood you know it feels so nice
I'm shaking in the morning like
I've been kicked all night
Sneaky sneaky serpent
With the tricks up his sleeve
Lips like licorice but you can't catch me
Deep between the covers
Listening to her heart's beat
Till defeat and surrender of what's being covered up
Cause I don't want to give up
What's little last of my luck
So many opportunities
That are boarded up and gently put away
You move so slowly I can't even feel it moving

You move so slowly I can't believe it

You can never be what never was
And to get by you
Know you must become a part in a machine
When minds outgrow a stationary scene
They get discarded
With the others never meant to be
With the worst yet to be seen
Cause we still eat this fruit
From the tree that's in the middle of the garden
And we make a bargain

Have you forgotten?
You're still dying in their world
Just to be seen not to be heard
It happens so often
There's no way left to break out from this hold
Of who will be bought and who will be sold

Don't have to look to see it everyday
It is designed for you to
Think that there's no other way
If you got the look they'll sell you're sound
There will be dollars all around
But when decisions come
You'll find that you still have no say
It doesn't bother most that
That's the game
We've all been blinded by the opportunity to play
If you say what you want and you do what you say
Than it's likely
That you've found yourself a better way

Have you forgotten?
You're still dying in their world
Just to be seen not to be heard
It happens so often
There's no way left to break out from this hold
Of who will be bought and who will be sold

We're still waiting in lines
And we're still signing with our blood
Its all that was mentioned
Its all been no good
Well it's the right that we haven't
Forgotten the plan
It's our LOVE that we're doubting

Have you forgotten?
You're still dying in their world
Just to be seen not to be heard
It happens so often
There's no way left to break out from this hold
Of who will be bought and who will be sold

Don't be afraid because there is no escape
And it won't be long now, won't be long now
They got you thinking
What you wanna believe
Just to fall with no better way
When you wear the right clothes
Sing the right songs
You're tuning and plugging out
When you drive the right car
And you digging the right crowd
Tune in and plug it out

Came looking here for answers and all you found was
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste
Questions for forgiveness
We're giving ourselves away
Human life replacement
Love is gone to waste but now

We're finding out
That what we know better
No number will ever replace me
We're finding out
That what we know better
No number will ever replace me

First comes the school
Then comes the job
Wife and two kids and a family car
We're all falling in line
And waiting to die
For what?
A plaque on the wall and another numeral
On a corporate statistic of a government chart
You know I don't need
No read-out for the beat of my heart
You might as well get
A barcode tattooed on your arm
Cause convenience has strangled art in every form

Would you believe
What I said if I shoved it down your throat?
How unusual the lettered backdrop
Do you wonder where you are
The meaning of the words?
Push the plunger, say good-bye
Consent to manufacture, a brand new opposition
It's starting right now

Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can't see
Much too bored to look for

Touch the surface flow and ebb
With nowhere left to go
If I could only live like this
Ideal in its birth, a drunk bewildered herd
Follow the leader, come pin the tail
Caught in misdirection, our spectacle distracts
And it's just the right time

Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can't see
Much too bored to look for

We always say it, we never mean it
If that's enough if that's enough
That's the way it looks and no one's asking why
It's the right time but we don't have the time
Keep it locked down
It's only what your heart would say
We're barely living through it, we're just surviving
I'm so sick of surviving

Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
But if it's out for deception and still playing cool
Like a piece of the puzzle
We're so quick to salute it now
Much too bored to look for

We didn't say it, we never needed it
If that's enough If that's enough
It's the way we look and no one's asking why
It's the right right time but we don't have the time
Keep it locked down ignoring
What your heart would say
We're barely living through it, too scared to do it
We didn't say it, we never needed it
If that's enough If that's enough
It's the way we look and no one's asking why
It's the right right time but we don't have the time
Keep it locked down ignoring
What your heart would say
We're barely living through it, too scared to do it
We're so sick of surviving
So sick of surviving

The midnight moon is feeling high
She won't come down till the morning light
When opposite set
Scenery drapes unimpressed plasticene
Where cookies cut can play their games
Wear the shirts of pricetag names
All the biggies selling fame
Can smell your blood yearning

If that's what it costs, I am free

Don't contest electric light
Come pull the cord kiss me goodnight
Bound in blood, dollar signs confirmed
Your eyes still hold the secret
Shut your eyes don't breathe so loud
It's just an episode
Shut your eyes don't talk to loud
It's just an episode

If that's what it costs than I am free

Doesn't this just smell familiar?
You cut your fingernails like your soul
If I ripped your heart right from you
Would you feel it?
Would you feel it al all?
Doesn't this just smell familiar?
A pretty penny now you paid your pride
If I ripped your heart right from you
Would you feel it?
Would you feel it at all?
Would you feel it at all?

It all starts with a sound
And a firm embrace
The will to conspire
The need to suck-seed
Don't look down, now you're surrounded
Beady black eyes, lip licks shrouded
Heart's best constricted, foam-filled with plastic
Kiss kiss luxury, head's getting clouded
See the sparkle of the heretic's scream
The green gleam and the four-legged fiend
A flick of fountains and the kings been hailed
Don't worry baby cause we're all for sale

Doesn't this just smell familiar?
You cut your fingernails like your soul
If I ripped your heart right from you
Would you feel it?
Would you feel it al all?
Doesn't this just smell familiar?
A pretty penny now you paid your pride
If I ripped your heart right from you
Would you feel it?
Would you feel it at all?

It surrounds
We'll like to dance around
It surrounds
We'll like to dance around

DON'T STOP NOW FEEL IT

It surrounds
We'll like to dance around
It surrounds
We'll like to dance around

What you want is what you findout
Once you believe that you don't really need it
Here we are at the rest of our lives and I'm afraid
That we no longer need it

I'll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can't give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I'll wait for the next

The etch of scars and memories pass
Once you conceive that you don't want to feel it
After all
We all bled so much
It's about time
That we all started living

I'll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can't give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I'll wait for the next

You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight, we only fight
You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight, we only fight

What you want is what you find out once you believe
That you no longer need it
Well here we are at the spectacle of our sight
I'm afraid
That we're all slaves
What you want is what you find out
Once you believe
You no longer need it

I'll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can't give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I'll wait for the next

You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight, we only fight
You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight, we only fight

What it is to desire

And I knew that you just couldn't wait
To put your sharpened dagger in
And watch the look on my face
It was all you were searching for
A picture frame consistent
To being alone
Now we're content with illusions
And our arm length smiles

Did you get what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I'm asking
Cause its the love we're forgetting now
Did you take what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted from me
This is all that I'm asking
This is all that I'm asking you

Oh the years that have all been erased
No superficial shelter could ever replace
And its all you we're searching for
Another adequate replacement
To walk through your door
We're content with illusions
And our downhill eyes

Did you get what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I'm asking
Cause its the love I'm forgetting now
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you wanted from me
This is all that I'm asking
Yeah this is all that I'm asking

Have you ever felt what it means to be truly alone?
Stop and think right now
Have you ever been alone?
Have you ever felt so cold?
Have you ever felt to truly alone?
So freezing cold?
So find the fakest elation I hope it takes you away
Now I've got it all worked out now
Just a memory, picture framed illusion

Did you get what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I'm asking
Cause its the love I'm forgetting now
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you needed from me
This is all that I'm asking
This is all that I'm asking

Did you get what you wanted?
NOW!!!!!!
