"Numb And Dumb" lyrics - OTEP

I'm tired of being tired
Sick of being sick

Erase and escape
The meathooks of reality

Lock the door
Load your guns
And 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

Oh sweet goddess or narcotics
On my knees I pray
Just give me one more dose
And make it all go away

Make me completely
Numb and 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
And 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

Oh sweet goddess or narcotics
On my knees I pray
Just give me one more dose
And make it all go away

Make me completely numb and dumb

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

And 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 and dumb

Medicate and sedate
Pass the punishment I need another fix
