Lyrics

Placebo

My throat is closing
Got cotton wool for eyes
I can't see clear through my opaque eyes
Until you cut the tie
The youth are broken
Wonderin' in empty minds
Scream your words silently
Cuz they are not your kind

Is it a placebo, a placebo baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo, A placebo
Your money always shows

My head is green my hands are black
I'm telling you I'll have a heart attack
Cuz my doctor is my therapist
And this cold it causing me a giant cyst

Cuz the youth are broken
Wonderin in empty minds
Scream your words silenty
Cuz they are not your kind

Is it a placebo, A placebo baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo, A placebo
Your money always shows

This ways no life choice
It's up for no debate
But you'll wear my clothes
You'll wear my face
This money is the race

Is it a placebo, A placebo baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo
Your money always-

Is it a placebo, A placebo baby?
I don't even know
Is it a placebo, A placebo
Your money always shows
