Public Serpents – Driller Killer lyrics

There's one pill, one for this
There's one pill, one for that
One to make you skinnier
One to make you sane
One to make you bring a friend around
And smash a brain
It's all about a way to make a quick buck
Big pharmaceuticals, they don't give a fuck
They only wanna see, you and me,
Catatonic, walking around like zombies
Out in the street
With nothing in your pockets
And nothing to eat
It's like a game of hide and seek
With a boot in your throat
You wish were a part of their cult
But now you're hooked, you're on a sinking boat

Driller killer yah, yah, you took little pill
And you went down, down, down

It's nice to know, the sun will never shine
When the shadows cast upon, the truth of mans design
The citadel is dark, with defeat
But the needles point, forever there, is oh so sweet
Manifest in a simple form, decay
For a truth, that's never known
He gave himself away
To the cesspools of society
He never knew there was another way to be
Saw it on the tube
And after in the news
Was fda approved
It's all he ever knew
Never thought to say
Makes no sense, no way
If bleeding of the eyes occurs, call a doctor right away

My pops was an evil
16th century Carpathian named Vigo
Who bestowed a problem of the ego
Plus moms had me in a vat
Down at Axis Chemicals
After skin graphs and plastic genitals
I ripped off the gauze
Paused for a second
Then I dipped out the pod
And ran rampant through the valley
Started stampin' on the houses
When the people tried to rally
When in reality no one was around
That's when the rabbit found me
Talkin' to parrots and chopping carrots in the alley
He said the body of Christ is magically delicious
While he gave me more
The bastards hung me in the fall of '84

A driller killer is that pill your gonna chew
It makes it's way through you it makes you wanna puke
It's just another way for them to control you
Don't you know the truth, the serpents after you

When a person falls prey to a vermin's small ways
He gets his balls spayed by circle saw blades
Drug companies, want you on your knees
2 of these will cure all your problems, then you'll sail the shining seas
