Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Culture sucks down words
Itemize loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organize your safe, tribal war
Hurt, maim, kill and enslave the ghetto
[Verse 2]
Each day, living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
[Verse 3]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
[Verse 4]
Lifeline's a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
[Verse 5]
Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
[Verse 6]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
[Verse 7]
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
[Verse 8]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
[Verse 9]
Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere there's war, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt, political shit
Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow
[Verse 10]
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Everlasting nothingness
