  Lyrics:

  Go take your medication.
  This is the last great American movement.
  Peace and love are dead, rebellion has been quelled.
  All that’s left is the dead rotting carcass of American culture
  Left out in the sun to wither.

  Soaked in acid, wrapped in fuzz,
  Saturated in smoke and nicotine buzzed
  Broken glass litters filthy floor,
  Wooden panels mask the sick and the bored.
  Bitter gaze, caustic little smile,
  And from dead eyes, the sting of the bile.

  Wash down those pills,
  They keep it at bay;
  The disease that cripples
  And fills your life with decay.
  Moth-bitten curtains,
  Yellowed and sour.

  And the gin helps too, but you already know that don’t you?
  Beautiful brainwashing abuse
  Slowly driving you insane; withered lace, where is my brain?
  Beautiful brainwashing abuse

  Soaked in acid, wrapped in fuzz,
  Saturated in smoke and nicotine buzzed.
  Broken glass litters filthy floor,
  Wooden panels mask the sick and the bored.
  Bitter gaze, caustic little smile
  Leaking from dead eyes, porcelain and vile.
