We're draining off our glasses
we'll drink our cares away
and in our party dresses
reaction time delays
All I ever wanted was something to believe
Negative emotion sells you everything
I learned to hate my body
these twisted magazines
will tell me I'm not worthy
as long as I still eat.
All I ever wanted was something to believe
Negative emotion sells you everything
Lover of a ballad
my eyes begin to glaze
stripped and medicated
and handy on my dirty knees
All I ever wanted was something to believe
Negative emotion sells you everything
You told them you were the best lay in the land,
now they've tied both your feet and told you to work with your hands
You told them you were the best lay in the land,
now they've tied both your feet and told you to work with your hands
What are we doing here at this time in this part of town.
Somebodies son, somebodies daughter, some little lamb sent to the slaughter.
