Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Run along face lift
If it kills, I got news, it ain't a side effect
Call it a full reject or
A fuel injected, type corrected teenage obstacle
[Verse 2]
(All I wanna do is have my mind erased)
I'm begging you, pleading you, stop coma teasing us all
(Drug company, where's a pill for me?)
I call it mind eraser, no chaser at all
(On permanent leave of everything)
Law abiding, dick riding, fun police, leave us alone
(Dulling the edge of a razor blade)
What does it mean when the knife and the hand are your own?
[Verse 3]
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste?
Understanding is cruel, the monkey said as it launched to space
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
Ignorance is bliss, until they take your bliss away
[Verse 4]
Robotic mom bought me
DIY kit lobotomy
It's a tuck, taste, dance craze, movie of the week
You'll buy the doll, kick the ball
Then piss on the sheets
[Verse 5]
(All I wanna do is have my mind erased)
I'm begging you, pleading you, stop coma teasing us all
(Drug company, where's a pill for me?)
It reads mind eraser, no chaser, in bright lights
(On permanent leave of everything)
New-age goose-step on a karma-collision
(Dulling the edge of a razor blade)
What does it mean when the knife and the hand are your own?
[Verse 6]
Your own
Your own
[Verse 7]
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste?
Understanding is cruel, the monkey said as it launched to space
I know that I'm gonna be your dangerous side effect
Ignorance is bliss, until they take your bliss away
[Verse 8]
Give me the reason why the mind's a terrible thing to waste?
[Verse 9]
I know that I am, your dangerous side effect
I know that I am, your dangerous side effect
I'm not sorry to say we just ran out of "give a shit"
