Quick Fix

It's not a crime if you don't get caught
A marriage made in the emergency ward
I'd rather ride the roller coaster
Than the merry go round

My brain conspires against me
A self fulfilling prophecy
I'd rather eat peaches
Than taste that golden brown

No one that you can rely on
Long ago I gave up tryin'
No one on whom you can depend
And I got a home I gotta defend
(Here we go again)

It's getting harder to relate
It's such a bitch to just stay grounded
Please tell me that it's not too late
That my fears are all unfounded
It's a steady downhill slide
And the screws are turning tighter
And you never will unwind
Your complexion's turning whiter

Quick fix
You reap what you sow... and I oughta know
Quick fix

Liquid courage and powerdered panache
Stolen light late night gate crash
Long heedless of the pipes and needles
Scattered on the ground
It's too late for apologies
There's no respect - no boundaries
Barricade the building
Burn the projects down

No one that you can rely on
Long ago I have up tryin'
No one on whom you can depend
And I got a head I gotta defend
(Here we go again)

It's getting harder to relate
It's such a bitch to just stay grounded
Please tell me that it's not too late
That my fears are all unfounded
It's a steady downhill slide
And the noose is getting tighter
And you never will unwind
Your complexion's turning whiter

Quick fix
You reap what you sow...
And I oughta know
Quick fix

Perfect victim sitting duck
They're in the playground waiting
I can hear their stereos
I can see their whores fellating
Pull the covers 'round your head
They're waiting at your door
Better load your .44
This is civil war
You better load your .44
This is civil war
Quick fix
