Paid in Brains - Direct Hit!

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 breathe

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

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

We’ll chalk an X up on the day the high’ll end

You’re talkin hours?

I’m talking days

We’re talkin take a break from work cause where you’re going you tell dime a

million ways

Pay!

The price is brains!

We’re all insane!

Pay!

The price is brains!

Don’t be ashamed — we’re all insane!

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 … Fuck You!

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

Oh 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

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 that we’d be singing this old song

So long!

When we arrived I could bet that we’d be singing this old song

Pay!

The price is brains!

We’re all insane!
