ADDICTED TO PLACEBO


Placebo for my pain

my breakfast, lunch and tea

placebo for my angst

the side effects are clean

addicted to placebo

i take it every day

won't buy no ready meal

don't like the modern way

not for me that murdered meat

besides, it clogs your veins and guts

the mad cows eat your brains out

and then, you're right fucked up


what do they feed the pigs with?

it's soylent green in fact

it aint too much to wonder

if your DNA's intact

the packaging is toxic

the globe is getting warm

the politics are failing

look around, the world is still at war


i'm addicted to placebo

has to be the safest track

the world's full of free radicals

and the streets are full of crack

placebo for my pain

my breakfast lunch and tea

placebo for my fear

well its my remedy

the chickens don't need batteries

the forest don't need cleared

the money, aint important

coz it will all end in tears

mark my words, it will all end in tears

boohoo, it will all end in tears


what do we feed our kids with?

on spoiled dreams in fact

ain't u begun to wonder

if we can ever get things back?

the packaging is toxic

but the product's not recalled

the medicine is poison

and baby is deformed
