lyrics

Am I high, or is it cold?
The death of us, is funny turned to gold
Pathogens, viral vids
Exploiting of the innocence of kids
Happy eyes and jolly bones
The stakes are high, the bar is really low
We're cracking up, watch the show
The kings are gone, the jester's on the throne

Late at night when you're at home
The opium is stronger than you know
The days are long and filled with foes
When Johnny comes, you feel good on your toes
Happy eyes and jolly bones
The jester thrives by choking on a bone
Frustration comes, the people groan
Caesar wakes and blows up all we know

Pleasure us in our homes
From our TVs and smart phones
Death is fun, kill our souls
Nacirema way is bold...
