[Verse 1]
Learn to sleep through misery
Never going to wake feeling free
No one fucks as good as Marilyn
Plastic surgery sure cures your sins
[Verse 2]
You need a fix I'm your prostitute
Repression says depravity's cute
I'll feed you lines to make you smile
You're so easy to dehumanize
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not that I can't find worth in anything
It's just that I can't find worth in enough
It's not that I can't find worth in anything
In your love
[Chorus]
Pay for it
Pay for it
Degrade your senses till you hate me
[Verse 3]
Begging to be cool through nicotine
Decadence costs but she must be clean
Build up walls so you can't feel
When you get high 'It's so unreal'
[Verse 4]
Days fade in and I need the night
I've seen your dumb face all of my life
Eyes close down, I don't want to see
Broken communion of the twentieth century
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not that I can't find worth in anything
It's just that I can't find worth in enough
It's not that I can't find worth in anything
In your love
[Chorus]
Pay for it
Pay for it
You're going to pay for my intelligence
Pay for it
Pay for it
Cos I'm a slut and you just suck
Pay for it
Pay for it
Degrade your senses till you hate me
Pay for it
Pay for it
We promote all sickness and disease
You're going to pay for my intelligence
Cos I'm a slut and you just suck
[Outro]

You're so dead
