Song Lyrics

Cough syrup helps you relate to the dead
Drink it down & swell up the brain in yer head
Welcome to the state & crush what you believe
Living the lies of the laws you concieve
Yer trapped in the web of the world that you weave

You're burning in water, drowning in flames
The laws & the lies are all one & the same
Now you're burning in water
& yer drowning in flames

Now, never, nothing

Long & boney fingers, they dig up from the grave
Killed in vain, when corporate gov'ts misbehave

You're obedient dogs, greasing the cogs
Running the machine
How many lives are lost in the gears
To cover yer crimes over all of these years?

You're lost, you've lost, we've lost
Now is never & yer nothing

Dave Alvin
