Numb and Dumb Songtext

von Otep

I'm tired of being tired
Sick of being sick

I'm tired of being tired
Sick of being sick

Erase & escape
The meathooks of reality

Erase & escape
The meathooks of reality

Lock the door
Load your guns
& pray for nothing!

(i don't care, i don't care
I don't care, i don't care)

And daddy's shooting smack
And mama's smoking crack
And teacher is a sex addict
And preacher has a porn habit
And sister's such a whore
And my life is a bore

. take your vitamins
. whiten your teeth
. comb your hair
. know when to speak

They say jesus was a masochist
But maybe they said, pacifist ...

Sweet goddess of narcotics
On my knees i pray
Just give me one more dose
& make it all go away

Make me completely numb & dumb

(watch your tone, obey the law,
Know when to bend, believe in god)

I took his wife into my mouth
Like a slice of wedding cake
I went back for extra helpings
& then i cleaned my plate

Still covered in her yolk
The wet drug of my addiction
I'm nature's little criminal
A selfish crucifixion

Oh sweet scarecrow in the sky
You have all the answers but we will never die

Sweet goddess of narcotics
On my knees i pray
Just give me one more dose
& make it all go away

Make me completely numb & dumb

I ran out the front door
The devil's at the backdoor
Whispering to the sea

& above
A black feathered sun
Drunk on teenage meat

I don't care, i don't care
I don't care, i don't care

Make me completely numb & dumb

Medicate & sedate
Pass the punishment
I need another fix
