No Milk, No Sugar is a commentary on stagnation and being stuck in the same place, seemingly not making progress. The title is an oblique reference to the land of milk and honey described in the Hebrew bible.
[Verse 1]
We need new blood
We need new drugs
We need new lovers
We got so thrown
We feel lost at home
No milk, no sugar
[Hook]
Oh, to be the cream
If only a machine could make us dream again
[Verse 2]
We fill our lungs
We don't hold our tongues
We don't need to prove this
We wrest control
Think we like this hole?
The young and the useless
[Hook]
Oh, to be the cream
If only a machine could make us dream again
[Outro]
We waste our time
We hang behind
And wait for the others
We need new blood
We need new drugs
We need new lovers
