[Verse 1]
Goodbye to the summer
Sold down the river
Unhappy ever after
Well, did you ever?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Did you ever reach for the glued-down penny?
Same old joke and it's not funny
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old, cheated by the new
[Chorus]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
[Verse 2]
You sing the same old verse
Stick like glue, for better or worse
What goes around comes around
Again, again, again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
This heart, pulled apart
Hydra fighting, head-to-head
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old, cheated by the new
[Chorus]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh)
Amnesia
(Ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
[Outro 1]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
[Outro 2 / Interlude]
Cut the head in half using a bandsaw and scoop the brains out
Blast the brain out with water or air
Suck the brain out through a hole in the head
What about free speech?
What about free speech?
What about free speech?
Look, that's not the point, you're giving this place a bad name, I've got my position to think of
