Paid in Brains

[Verse 1]
Yeah
You're sitting calm and unalarmed
But it won't be long
It'll have you wrapped around your finger with its charm
Then you won't speak and you won't breath
And so you see how this is all you'll ever be?
It takes your soul, it makes it old
It sands it down, bleaches it out until it's sold
All for a pill
A cheaper thrill
You'll swallow more because you'll never get your fill

[Verse 2]
Well help yourself, your high won't wait
It's a special strain developed by the state
It comes on quick, it don't let up
So tell your friends about it, help 'em all get fucked
So have a seat, and take a breath
And chalk an X up on the day the high'll end
You're talking hours?
I'm talking days
We're talking take a break from work cause where you're going you tell time a million ways

[Chorus]
Pay!
The price is brains!
We're all insane!
Pay!
The price is brains!
Don't be ashamed, we're all insane!

Tying up loose-end life?
Been fighting all your years just to find a different way to die?
So sad but I'm glad we get to talk about it just so I can fuck you

[Verse 3]
Now you're sitting numb, deaf, blind and dumb
It worries some but in your skull you're so content to be a lump
We'll bring you feed, that's all you need
And make you bleed because you just can't measure up
Go help yourself, high couldn't wait
On yeah, that special strain developed by the state
It came on quick, it won't let up
Don't tell your friends about it they're already fucked

[Chorus]
Tying up a loose-end life?
Been fighting all your years just to find a different way to die?
So sad but I'm glad we get to talk about it just so I can call you bad
So long
When we arrived I could bet we'd be singing this old song
So long
When we arrived I could bet that we'd be singing this old song

[Outro]
Pay!
The price is brains!
We're all insane!
Pay!
The price is brains!
Don't be ashamed, we're all insane!

(Take all those pills, swallow 'em down, take every one)
We're all insane!
Pay!
The price is brains!
Don't be ashamed, we're all insane!
