OTEP LYRICS - Numb & Dumb

"Numb & Dumb"



I'm tired of being tired

Sick of being sick



I'm tired of being tired

Sick of being sick



Erase & escape

The meathooks of reality



Erase & escape

The meathooks of reality



Lock the door

Load your guns

& pray for nothing!



(I don't care, I don't care

I don't care, I don't care)



And daddy's shooting smack

And mama's smoking crack

And teacher is a sex addict

And preacher has a porn habit

And sister's such a whore

And my life is a bore



.take your vitamins

.whiten your teeth

.comb your hair

.know when to speak



They say jesus was a masochist

But maybe they said, pacifist...



Sweet goddess of narcotics

On my knees I pray

Just give me one more dose

& make it all go away



Make me completely numb & dumb



(Watch your tone, obey the law,

Know when to bend, believe in god)



I took his wife into my mouth

Like a slice of wedding cake

I went back for extra helpings

& then I clean my plate



Still covered in her yolk

The wet drug of my addiction

I'm nature's little criminal

A selfish crucifixion



Of sweet scarecrow in the sky

You have all the answers

But we will never die



Sweet goddess of narcotics

On my knees I pray

Just give me one more dose

& make it all go away



Make me completely

Numb & dumb



I ran out the front door

The devil's at the backdoor

Whispering to the sea



& above

A black feathered sun

Drunk on teenage meat



I don't care,

I don't care

I don't care,

I don't care



Make me completely numb & dumb



Medicate & sedate

Pass the punishment

I need another fix
