Lyrics
He broke your heart again
You washed up in the city of sin
So you get fucked up and call your guru
But he says he’s through with you too
So drugs become Jesus
And Jesus becomes Crossfit
Never not once did you sit alone
And deal with your bullshit
Back on your LA bullshit
He broke your heart again
You washed up in the city of sin
So you get fucked up and call your guru
But he says he’s through with you too
So drugs become Jesus
And Jesus becomes Crossfit
Never not once did you sit alone
And deal with your bullshit
Back on your LA bullshit
So money, beauty, power, fame
Which flag did you want to claim
Which tiger did you want to tame
Which god by which name
Everybody’s got a reason they can’t get to sleep
Some drag racing down Mulholland
Some medicating sheep
In freedom’s fated paradox
Each door you open, another locks
Each trigger pulled, another cocks
Each new drug, just a countdown clock
But I’ll sell you something you can’t buy
I’ll tell you something you haven’t tried
Flickers on a cave wall
Liberated from what?
Chant my mantras to the dust
Medicated, so what?
Everybody wants too much
Liberated from what?
Chant my mantras to the dust
Medicated, so what?
Everybody wants too much
Flickers on a cave wall
