We made the antidote for suffering
And we choked the pills down yesterday
And now all we know is plastic anger
And all we feel is synthetic rain
Though you can hurt us in every way
These tears don’t mean anything
But you can’t trust a thing we say
Because how do you know the truth
If you can’t feel it
And in years now spent and gone by
You’d know this was just a phase
A temporary swelling up against the brain
Until a new drug came to take its place
A new era underneath the trigger
But eras end when no-one has the strength to dream
When humanity isn’t worth changing
Because just how much hope can you mix
With anaesthetic.
