"Before The Lobotomy" lyrics
"Before The Lobotomy"
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
Of another place and time, where my family's from
Singing, I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams
Dying, everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live in the underground
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulogy
Signed, "My love," a lost memory
From the end of the century
Well, it's enough to make you sick
To cast a stone and throw a brick
But when the sky is falling down
You burned your dreams into the ground
Christian's lesson's what he's been sold (Hey!)
We are normal and self-controlled (Hey!)
Remember to learn to forget (Hey!)
Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes
Well, I'm not stoned, I'm just fucked up
I got so high I can't stand up
Well, I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed
I'm not in love, 'cause I'm a mess
Like refugees (Ooh)
We're lost like refugees (Ooh)
Like refugees (Ooh)
We're lost like refugees (Ooh)
The brutality of reality
Is the freedom that keeps me from
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
Of another place and time, where my family's from
Singing, I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams
Dying, everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live in the underground

And if your heart stops beating, I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life
And if you get to heaven, I'll be here waiting, babe

Nirvana - "Serve The Servants" Teenage angst has paid off well
Now, I'm bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge

The underneath's no big surprise
Now it's time for changing

I know
Gonna smile and not get worried
I try but it shows
Anyone can make what I have built and better now
Anyone can find the same white pills
It takes my pain...
