Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
She's hearing voices, call her
She's hearing voices, warn her
She just can't sleep in her bed
She just can't sleep
[Verse 2]
She's falling down a stair
She's tearing out her hair
She's screaming my name
In the night
To keep her warm
[Chorus]
She go red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Milk of amnesia
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
C'mon and I know that you want it
We did nothing, nothing to write home about
Did the earth, did the earth not move?
[Chorus]
Go red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
She go red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Red pill, blue pill
Milk of amnesia
[Verse 4]
She's scared of the blacks, and she's scared of the Jews
She is walking around, she is yesterday's news
And she calls out my name in the dead of the night
She is leaving my room, she is crying on her side
Walking on eggshells, walking on glass
Burnt by the mirror, burnt by the light
Feeling rejection, I'll burn down your house
Tearing down posters, I was never, never alive
Written by: Gordon Moakes, Kele Okereke, Matt Tong, Russell Lissack
