Lyrics

Vices

[Verse 1]

Stop and think of society's impotence

And the reason behind its incompetence

Faith in God is the vice, bring on the tyranny

Won't be long till you find the real irony

[Chorus]

Life drags on, and we watch it bleed

On controversy and madness, we feed

It's a rush you can't deny

A little violence is the ultimate drug

Let's get high

[Verse 2]

Politician that claims to be the innocent

Sells you peace, then defies you with his insolence

Greed and power, his vices give him what he seeks

Manipulate and divide, forever lead the weak

[Chorus]

Life drags on, and we watch it bleed

On controversy and madness, we feed

It's a rush you can't deny

A little violence is the ultimate drug

Let's get high

[Lead – King/Holt]

[Verse 3]

You've been powerless to your vices

Self-control defies you

When nothing else quite suffices

Your demons will destroy you

[Bridge]

Holy man portrays the face of purity

Hiding behind a shroud of vanity

Pure lust is his vice, a sickness to defile

God becomes a device to hide the pedophile

[Chorus]

Life drags on, and we watch it bleed

On controversy and madness, we feed

It's a rush you can't deny

A little violence is the ultimate drug

Let's get high

[Outro]

So fuckin' high

Let's get high!
